I've been playing on a survival server with some friends for a couple of weeks and today we finally beat the ender dragon. However, the ender gateways that normally spawn did not and we were not able to make it to the outer end islands. We are playing in 1.16 pre release 2. Let me know if we did something wrong or if it just isn't working for others.
This issue was resolved for all saves not opened in 20w20b or 20w21a - if you did open your world in those versions, you may need to manually edit your level.dat to get a gateway to spawn."
It doesn't seem to say just how to edit level.dat.
The easiest, but not necessarily best, fix would be to start a new world and re-do it.

Just testing.
