End City

End cities are structures that are naturally generated in the End. They are tall castle or tree-like structures constructed primarily of end stone bricks and purpur blocks and their variants. They are lit up by End rods. They are also the only places where shulkers can be found.

Structure
End cities may spawn as a single tower by itself, or as a sprawling complex of inter-connected towers and pathways branching from a main tower. Within certain rooms (often at the top of the towering structure) are treasure chests and sometimes Ender chests. On the outside of some towers, you can see banners with a purple and black pattern that is similar to the 'missing block' texture.

End ship


There is also a small chance for an "End ship" to be spawned outside of end cities. These floating structures are comprised of the same materials as end city dungeons, and are marked with a purple beacon that often give the Speed status effect. Inside the ship lies treasure chests, often guarded by Shulkers, that contain highly valuable loot (including enchanted diamond and iron equipment). They are often prefaced by a "gateway" branching from an End city tower, from which one can enderpearl onto the ship.

The inside of the ships are rather small. Inside the ship is a brewing stand that contains two Potions of Healing. Also, there are two chests guarded by a Shulker, and inside the chests are usually diamonds, tools, or sometimes, full sets of armor. Inside is the origin of the Purple Beacon, and some Obsidian for the floor
