The End is a biome used to generate the End dimension. There are five biomes in the End, but they are considered separate biomes only in Java Edition. Outer End islands are generated by a different mechanism in Bedrock Edition.

Description

This biome is exclusive to the End dimension. End stone is the only block to generate apart from those found in structures. Endermen, the ender dragon, and shulkers‌ are the only mobs to spawn naturally. The terrain is almost completely flat and consists of separate islands floating in the void.

This biome is used to generate the circle of radius 1024 centered at the 0,0 coordinates in the End. The End central island is generated at the center of this circle, surrounded by emptiness all the way to the edge of the biome. Most of the End features are exclusive to here, including the ender dragon, the End spikes, the End crystals, the 5×5 spawn platform, the exit portal, and the 20 central End gateways. Only endermen spawn in this biome, but at much higher rates than the Overworld. There is no weather or daylight cycle in the biome, like the Nether. End gateway portals generate after the ender dragon has been defeated. If the biome is used for a superflat world, the sky appears nearly black, no exit portal generates and endermen are the only mobs to spawn at night.

In Java Edition, this is the biome that occupies the smallest portion of the map: a circular radius of 1000 blocks, making it cover 3.5 billionths of the entire dimension.

In Bedrock Edition, this biome is instead the biggest, as it is used to generate the whole dimension.
