End Island
An End island is a terrain feature made up of a roughly hemispherical cluster of End stone blocks found within its respective biome.
End island features are generated from Y=55 to Y=70 around the outer islands. The probability that an End island tries to generate in each chunk is 1⁄14. It generates successfully when in a small End islands biome‌[Java Edition only] or at a chunk where the noise value fits‌[Bedrock Edition only]. In Java Edition, if it tries to generate a small island in a chunk, there's an 1⁄4 probability to try to generate another small island in this chunk. The two islands often overlap with each other. In Bedrock Edition, if the chunk's noise value fits, there's also a probability of 1⁄4 to re-generate another island, but at the same position, which makes the two islands look like a single island.
End island features also generate when an End gateway spawns on the outer islands if the chunk does not provide any End stone.
This article is about the feature of a small End stone island. For the biome, see Small End Islands. For outer islands in general, see Outer islands.
