End City

End cities hold shulkers, enchanted diamond gear and — in the attached end ship — elytra. They only generate on the outer end islands.

Generation conditions

Minecraft divides the world into 20×20 chunk regions and picks one candidate position per region, keeping a separation of 11 chunks from the region edge. The candidate is then accepted only if the terrain at that position is suitable.

How to find a end city

  1. Open your seed. Enter your world seed on the seed map and choose the Minecraft version your world was created in.
  2. Enable the layer. Turn on the end cities layer in the map panel.
  3. Pick the closest marker. Pan around spawn and choose the marker nearest to where you play.
  4. Copy the coordinates. Select the marker and copy its coordinates, or copy the ready-made teleport command.
  5. Travel there. End cities need solid outer-island terrain, so candidates over the void produce nothing. Travel at least 1000 blocks from the central island.

Coordinate notes

Markers are placed at the structure start position — the corner chunk Minecraft uses to begin generation — offset to the centre of that chunk. The building itself extends outward from there, so expect the visible structure to sit within a chunk or two of the marker.
