How to use it
- Type /seed in game and copy the number into the seed box (text seeds work too).
- Pick the Java version your world was created in.
- Enter your current X and Z to sort the end cities by distance from you.
- Copy the /tp command, or open the spot on the seed map to see the biomes around it.
How it works
The finder recreates Minecraft's own structure placement from the seed in your browser, using the open-source cubiomes library compiled to WebAssembly. For each area where a end city can start, it works out the exact start point, then checks the biome there the same way the game does. The outer End islands, more than 1,000 blocks from the main island, in the Highlands and Midlands. They try to spawn once in every 20 × 20 chunk area, at least 11 chunks apart. Nothing is uploaded: the seed stays on your device.
Questions
How do I find a end city without the seed?
Explore with a map and a fast route: in the End, fly with elytra or bridge between islands. Single-player worlds always show the seed with /seed, so the finder is much quicker.
Does this work on Bedrock Edition?
Not for structures. Bedrock shares Java's biome generation since 1.18, but it places structures with different rules, so these coordinates only match Java worlds.
Is using a finder cheating?
It reads the same information the game uses to build your world. In single player it's up to you; on servers, check the rules, because some ban seed tools.
What will I find in a end city?
Elytra and a dragon head on end ships, shulker shells for shulker boxes, and enchanted diamond gear.
How do I get to an end city?
Kill the Ender Dragon, then throw an ender pearl into the small End gateway portal that appears. It takes you to the outer islands, where the finder's coordinates are.
