Where to Find an End City
In Minecraft, an End City is a structure that spawns naturally in the game. It is a giant tower-like structure found in the outer islands of the End dimension with rooms to explore on each branch.
Here is a picture of what an End City looks like:
The End City is mostly made out of purpur blocks, purpur pillars, and end stone bricks. Find out how to find the End City!
Inside the End City
Once inside the End City, you will find many rooms to explore.
Chests
Look for chests to open in the various towers. You should be able to find quite a few chests with amazing items inside.
These chests may contain iron ingot, gold ingot, diamonds, enchanted iron pickaxes, enchanted iron pickaxes, enchanted iron chestplates, or enchanted iron boots. There is also a chance that you can find Spire Armor Trim in the chest. You can use Spire Armor Trim to visually customize your armor using a Smithing Table.

Example #2 Chest
End Ship
Next, try to find the End Ship. An End Ship is a structure by itself in the End City. It looks like a boat floating in the air.
Within this End Ship, you can find the elytra hanging on the wall inside of an item frame.
Just break the item frame to add the elytra to your inventory.
Before leaving the End Ship, make sure you open the two chests just below the elytra. These chests may contain valuable items such as iron ingot, gold ingot, or enchanted diamond shovels.
Protectors of the End City
The End City is protected by a new mob called the shulker.
Shulker
Shulkers are only found within the End City. They are attached to solid blocks and will blend in with the purpur blocks around it when its shell is closed. You can usually find them guarding entrances to the towers or attached to the walls inside.
When a shulker attacks you, it will open its shell and shoot shulker bullets at you. These bullets will act like guided missiles and follow you. When you are struck by a bullet, it will cause damage and give you the Levitation effect. This will cause you to float up until the effect wears off.
Congratulations, you just learned about the structure called End City in Minecraft.
