The End (biome)

The End is a biome used to generate the End dimension. There are five variants in the biome family.

Description
This biome is exclusive to the End dimension. End stone is the only block to generate beside those found in structures. Endermen are the only mobs to spawn. The terrain is almost completely flat and consists of separate islands floating in the void.

The End
This biome is used to generate the circle of radius 1000 centered at the 0,0 coordinates in the End. The End central island is generated at the center of this circle, surrounded by emptiness all the way to the edge of the biome. Most of the End features are exclusive to that island, including the ender dragon, the obsidian pillars, the end crystals, the 5&times;5 spawn platform, the exit portal, and the 20 central end gateways. Large amounts of endermen spawn in this biome. Most of the End's structure is provided by the dimension itself rather than the biome. It does not rain or snow in this biome, unlike the other low-temperature biomes. The outer islands, in the End, can be accessed using the end gateway portal after the ender dragon has been defeated. If the biome is used for a superflat world, the sky appears nearly black, no exit portal generates and endermen are the only mobs to spawn at night.

Trivia

 * This biome is by far the rarer biome in the game as it only occupies a circle of radius 1000, making it cover 3.5 billionths of the entire map, even less than the modified jungle edge.

End Highlands
This biome generates as part of the outer islands of the End, forming the hilltops of each island, and is the only biome in which both chorus trees and end cities can generate.

End highlands use the same mob spawning chances as the end.

End Midlands
This biome generates as part of the outer islands of the End, forming the gradual slope from the hilltops of each island down to the cliffs around the edge. End cities generate here, but chorus trees do not.

End midlands use the same mob spawning chances as the end.

End Barrens
This biome generates as part of the outer islands of the End, forming the outer rims of each island, with steep cliffs below the edge. Neither end cities nor chorus trees can generate in this biome.

End barrens use the same mob spawning chances as the end.

Small End Islands
This biome generates as part of the outer islands of the End and consists of the empty expanse between the larger islands, populated only by smaller, circular islands.

Small end islands use the same mob spawning chances as the end.
