Ancient City End Portal

The portal like structure in the middle of every ancient city looks like a portal.  But what if it was...  Maybe the portal is activated when you complete a secret Redstone contraption hidden in the Redstone room below.  Then, you go inside to find a one island end dimension look alike.  It would have new plants, trees, and new mystical creatures only found there.  But, there would also be a cage, or ruins...  Some sort of structure that adds to the end lore.  The purpose this structure would give players more details and understanding on the "Free the End" Achievment name.  Maybe you would get an Achievment by going through the portal, then bringing one of the mystical creatures out of the portal and into an overworld biome thats outside the ancient city.  I believe that those mystical creatures were scared of the warden and couldn't leave because the portal was unfinished, or worse...  destroyed by the ender dragon from the end side.  The Achievment "Rescuer of the helpless", would be granted if you got them out without them being killed by the warden.  There wouldn't have to be new tools or new gems in this one island end dimension, just a new tree, a new plant or two, a new mob or two, and a new small structure.  The island would have 5 different layout designs and those would be randomly selected per ancient city portal you start up.  This would add to Minecraft lore and exploration immensely.

  Love the idea, but probably not the Redstone to open up the portal, I had an idea for opening the portal,  it would be that you have to get disc 5, put a jukebox next to the portal and play it till it is near the end and once it reaches a certain bit it could open the portal, but when you start playing the disc, it could alert a bunch of sensors in a further radius and bring up a bunch of Wardens which you would have to evade or kill to stay alive long enough for the portal to open. To stop players from starting it and leaving, you could add that they have to be  close enough to the portal other wise it would stop playing, also if you die it would stop the music as well. Once you have survived long enough to get to the certain bit in the disc, the portal would open up and a loud unworldly screech could come out from the portal and scare the Wardens that were chasing you a lot that they would go back into the ground.

  I agree with the comment below about the jukebox and disc. I actually had a thought the other day that it would be cool if Mojang had actually already integrated the city portal into the game as a portal with another dimension but was just waiting on players to discover how to open it. That made me thing of the disc fragments. Lore would be that the inhabitants of the city smashed the discs to prevent the portal from being opened again. Once you put the pieces back together and played the disc near the portal, it would at some point open. I mean I don't think they could have hidden that amount of code in the game files without someone finding it yet, but I mean it would be pretty cool.
