The small End islands biome is a biome used to generate outer End islands.
Description
This biome generates as part of the outer islands of the End which consists of the empty expanses between the larger islands, populated only by smaller, circle-shaped islands. Neither End cities nor chorus trees can generate in this biome and it is the only biome where small islands can generate.
Mobs
The following mobs are naturally spawned here:
| Mob | Spawn weight | Group size |
|---|---|---|
| Monster category | ||
 Enderman | 1 | 4 |
{ "notes": [], "1": { "totalWeight": 10, "mobs": [ { "size": "4", "mob": "Enderman", "weight": 10 } ], "category": "monster" } }
