Minecraft End City Seeds
End cities are the only place to find the elytra and shulkers, so the nearest end city is a major late-game milestone. The seeds below each have an end city relatively close to the central island, ranked by distance from the origin and verified by scanning the world with cubiomes. End cities generate on the outer islands, so even the closest sits roughly 1,000 blocks past the main island.
Why end city distance matters
The elytra — found only on the end ship beside some end cities — is the single biggest mobility upgrade in the game, and shulkers are the only source of shulker shells for shulker boxes. A seed whose nearest end city is close to the central island means less bridging across the void to reach that first pair of wings.
How the distances are measured
Each seed was generated and scanned with cubiomes for the listed edition and version; end city positions are computed against the End generator centered on the world origin, where the outer islands begin, so the ranking reflects how far past the central island you must travel.
