Do you have to reset the end to be able to generate a gateway? Can I spawn/kill a dragon in my existing end and get an end gateway? Ive been searching and cant find an answer to this.
I'm sorry but you need reset end for apply the new gateway update.
No, you don't need to reset anything. You can resummon a dragon in your existing world. First, craft a few end crystals using (for each one) an eye of ender and a ghast tear, surrounded by seven glass, and place four of them around the exit portal in the end, one on each side of the portal frame. In an older world (where the portal just appears wherever the dragon was when it died, instead of directly in the center of the island) you will need a fifth crystal to place down ("just about anywhere" supposedly works according to everyone else, although it was a bit trickier for me in my old 1.2.5 world) which will cause a new portal frame to appear in the center. Place the four crystals around this new frame, the existing portal will turn to end stone, the obsidian pillars will reset themselves in a series of explosions, and the dragon will be resummoned. Once you kill the dragon, a gateway portal will appear near the island's edge, and the exit portal (now in the center of the island) will acivate once again.
Are you sure IronMagus? In an old world you dont need to reset the End for apply the new update?
Well the other day I was flying around on rocket-powered elytra in my ongoing survival world where, up until recently, the dragon had been dead since 1.2.5 so, yeah, I'm pretty sure...
Thanks for the replies. I haven't tried summoning the dragon in my existing End yet but will tonight. One thing that did happen is after the update I was already in the End when I went back into the End after leaving it the spawn location in the end is different. I had a big build in the end built around where you spawn in, but now where you spawn in is different, not a big deal just a little frustrating. Also my Endermite Enderman farm is broken, I need to get that figured out and fixed.
You are definitely missing something. If you were on this one island, then flew out and just had nothing for hundreds of blocks, it's very likely you found an island on the border of the void that separates the main island from the others. I will post a picture showing how this works. What you want to do is re-summon the Ender Dragon, kill it, and then a new End Gateway will appear. Go through this, and your problems should be solved.
Also, while in the End, just use /locate EndCity, then tp to the coords.
Change your render distance, and if you fly for a while and can't find anything, try using /locate, and after finding a city, just enter /tp 0 50 0, and that will take you to the exit portal, so don't worry about getting lost. The Islands are supposed to generate infinitely.

You think magic isn't real? Consider this: for every person, there is a sentence -- a series of words -- which has the power to destroy them.
