The One Block map has a total of 10 phases: The Plains, The Underground, Icy Tundra, Ocean, Jungle Dungeon, Red Desert, The Nether, Idyll, Desolate Land, The End. Each phase will have a different theme and a different set of blocks, items, and mobs accordingly.
After 10 phases, the end portal will appear underneath the infinite block.

After 10 phases there will be a Nether Portal appearing below the initial block and that block will enter the Afterphases. You can mine it forever and it will drop random blocks from previous phases.
