Minecraft wiki entry for Defeating_the_ender_dragon, associated text: When the player jumps into the portal, they are treated to the end poem, which tells them that they have basically "completed" the game. Even though it can be skipped, it is still highly recommended to read it. The player then respawns in the Overworld at the respawn point, which can be the world spawn point, a respawn anchor, or the last bed the player had slept in. The player can then safely return to base.
