Credit Sequence

The Credit sequence is the lines of text and music that play when the player uses the Exit portal. This includes the End Poem, a freehand poem written by musician Julian Gough and the Credits, which serve to recognize those that have contributed to the game.

After entering the End dimension and killing the Ender dragon, the Exit portal is activated, allowing the player to enter and view the End poem followed by the credits. The player is then teleported to their spawn point if available, or the world spawn point if not. The End Poem and credits only show upon the player's first entry of exit portal. The player can also trigger the poem and credits to show by entering an End portal built using Creative mode or commands.
The End poem and credits can be successively sped up by holding , then additionally , then the other . They can be skipped entirely by pressing or "skip" .
The credits can also be accessed by clicking on the copyright information on the main menu screen or by pressing the "credits" button in the "profile" section of the Settings screen . They can also be viewed on the Minecraft website.Minecraft credits
== Contents ==
The poem and the credits last a total of 76 minutes and 16 seconds (unaccelerated). The poem lasts 7 minutes and 38 seconds, and the credits last the remaining 68 minutes and 38 seconds.
The poem takes the form of a scrolling dialogue between two speakers who are discussing the player's accomplishments, dreams, and relation to the rest of the universe. The speakers claim to be all the universe that is distinct from the player, and that the player is reading their cosmic thoughts as words on a screen. The credits appear below the End Poem. During the poem and credits, the track credits.ogg ("Alpha" in the official soundtrack) plays.

==Copyright==
While the Poem has been in the game since its release, Mojang and Microsoft neither own the poem or the permission to use it, according to the original author Julian Gough. Julian stated that due to poor and unpleasant communication between him and Carl Manneh, then-CEO of Mojang, he refused to sign a contract to fully transfer the rights of the Poem to Mojang after he finished the Poem, though they reached an informal agreement. In August 2014, a month before Microsoft purchased Mojang for $2.5b, Carl contacted Julian again, asking him to sign the contract. Julian refused once more, therefore owns all rights to the Poem. On December 7th, 2022, Julian announced that the End Poem is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) license.
