The City at the End of the Game
Go on in, what could happen?
Overview
The City at the End of the Game is a task advancement in the End tab of Minecraft's advancement system, carrying the in-game description "Go on in, what could happen." It branches directly off Remote Getaway, so that earlier advancement is its prerequisite and must be earned first. The End tab covers advancements for the End dimension, from slaying the Ender Dragon to finding End Cities and the Elytra. The City at the End of the Game was added in Minecraft 1.12 and remains part of the current 1.21 advancement set.
It is rated Hard difficulty on this site: requires significant effort, rare resources, or dangerous encounters. It uses the standard task frame, meaning it is a normal step in the tree rather than a goal or challenge milestone. 2 further advancements branch out of it: Sky's the Limit and Great View From Up Here.
In tree terms, The City at the End of the Game sits third along its line: the full path from the End root reads The End -> Free the End -> Remote Getaway -> The City at the End of the Game. That means 3 advancements must be completed before this one becomes available, and The City at the End of the Game is one of 9 total advancements in the End tab. No other advancement shares its parent, so it is the only thing that branches from Remote Getaway.
