End cities are unique structures found in the game Minecraft, specifically in the End dimension. They are the final destination for players who have defeated the Ender Dragon and are characterized by their tall, floating buildings made of purpur blocks and end stone. These cities often contain valuable loot, including elytra, which allows players to glide through the air. In addition to their architectural features, end cities are inhabited by Shulkers, which are hostile creatures that can teleport and shoot projectiles. Defeating these creatures can yield Shulker shells, used to create Shulker boxes for inventory management. Exploring end cities can be both challenging and rewarding for players.
