Predicted from world generation. Confirm with /locate structure minecraft:end_city before a long trip. Found in the End.

Where do End cities spawn?

End cities generate on the outer islands of the End, which you reach through an End gateway after you defeat the Ender Dragon. In Java they sit in the End Midlands and End Highlands biomes. Some End cities have an end ship with an elytra.

Good to know
  • Only on the outer islands, not on the main dragon island.
  • Each tower direction has a 50% chance of a bridge; each bridge has a 12.5% chance of an end ship.
  • At most one end ship generates per End city.
  • Shulkers spawn throughout the city.

How to find End cities without a seed map

  1. Defeat the Ender Dragon, then enter an End gateway to reach the outer islands.
  2. Look for tall purple purpur towers on the larger outer islands.
  3. Check each city for a floating ship next to a bridge: that ship holds the elytra.
  4. Use the End city finder with your seed to get X and Z so you do not bridge across the void blindly.

Java vs Bedrock

In Java, End cities use the End Midlands and End Highlands biomes, while Bedrock uses a single End biome. Structure positions differ between Java and Bedrock for the same seed; this finder uses Java generation.
