Minecraft:The End (biome): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:16, 8 May 2026

Template:Infobox biome The End is a biome used to generate Minecraft:the End dimension. There are five biomes in the End, but they are considered separate biomes only Template:In, while generating the same terrain as Template:In.

Description

This biome is exclusive to the End dimension. Islands of Minecraft:End stone generate dispersed in the Minecraft:void, with the surface almost completely flat. One island, where the player spawns upon entering and Minecraft:End portal, generates in the center far from all others.

Minecraft:Endermen frequently spawn all around the biome. Template:IN, Minecraft:water placed in the End takes on a unique purple color and underwater Minecraft:fog is much denser.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, the sky is slightly tinted dark purple, more visible near the zenith. During an Minecraft:End flash, a strong purple volumetric Minecraft:fog effect is visible, while it illuminates the environment with a purple tint. Minecraft:Water is also colored purple, and the water fog much denser than in the Overworld.

Main island

The End central island is generated around Minecraft:coordinates 0, surrounded by emptiness all the way to one thousand blocks in every direction. Most of the End features are exclusive to here, including the Minecraft:ender dragon, the Minecraft:End spikes, the Minecraft:End crystals, the 5×5 spawn platform, the Minecraft:exit portal, and the 20 central Minecraft:End gateways, which generate after the ender dragon has been defeated.

Template:IN, this biome is only used in a circle of radius 1024 centered at the 0,0 coordinates in the End, containing this main island. This makes it the biome that occupies the smallest portion of the map: a circular radius of 1000 blocks, covering 3.5 billionths of the entire dimension.

Template:IN, this biome is instead the biggest, as it is used to generate the whole dimension.

Outer islands

Template:Exclusive In addition to the features from the main End island, the rest of the features in the End are also part of this biome Template:In, including Minecraft:outer End islands, rogue End gateways, Minecraft:End cities, and Minecraft:chorus plants. Minecraft:Shulkers can be found in End cities as well as the Minecraft:elytra. End cities and chorus plants only generate on the larger islands; small square islands are dispersed in the void surrounding them.

 == Description ==
-This biome is exclusive to the End dimension. [[Minecraft:End stone]] is the only block to generate apart from those found in structures. [[Minecraft:Endermen]], the [[Minecraft:ender dragon]], and [[Minecraft:shulker]]s{{only|be|short=1}} are the only mobs to spawn naturally. The terrain is almost completely flat and consists of separate islands floating in the void. There is no weather or daylight cycle in the biome, like [[Minecraft:the Nether]].
