End Island

Biomes	Small End Islands‌[Java Edition only] The End‌[Bedrock Edition only]
Generates in existing chunks	Yes, when teleporting to the outer islands using End gateways
Consists of	End Stone

An End island is a terrain feature made up of a roughly hemispherical cluster of End stone blocks found within its respective biome.

Generation

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 is a probability of ¹⁄₄ 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 is 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.
