A small island (aka. end island) is roughly a hemispherical cluster of end stone blocks found within its respective biome.
Generation[]
Small islands are generated from Y=55 to Y=70 around outer islands. The probability that a small island tries to generate in each chunk is 1⁄14. It generates successfully when in 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 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 the chunk's noise value fits, there's also a probability of 1⁄4 to re-generate another island, but at the exactly same position, which makes the two islands look like a sinlge island.
It also generates when an end gateway spawns on the outer island if the chunk does not provide any End stone.
