How Rare is an End Ship?
An End Ship is a relatively rare structure in Minecraft, with each End City having a 12.5% chance of generating one, which can be found floating above the city, composed entirely of purpur blocks and End stone bricks, with obsidian floors. The odds of getting an End Ship are directly tied to the generation of End Cities, which themselves are only accessible after defeating the Ender Dragon and accessing the Outer Islands through an End Gateway Portal.
