Finding End Biomes and Chorus Fruit Underground
Even though open void islands are replaced by enclosed caverns, all End biomes and chorus fruit still generate throughout the caves between 0 and 128. Finding them requires underground scouting rather than bridging across empty space.
Tracking Biomes Through Cave Walls
In the vanilla End, biomes are separated by wide stretches of air, making islands easy to spot from a distance. Inside the cave system, biome borders often sit hidden behind solid End Stone:
1. Open the debug screen (F3) while exploring to watch your current biome readout as you move.
2. Tunnel horizontally through dead-end walls whenever you hit sealed pockets, watching for transitions into End Highlands where chorus plants naturally spawn.
3. Follow wide, open cavern branches first to cover distance faster before mining long exploratory tunnels.
Harvesting and Growing Chorus Fruit
Chorus plants generate naturally inside cavern chambers where the biome allows it. When harvesting them underground, break the bottom stem block to drop all the chorus fruit at once, or mine the chorus flowers directly at the top first if you want to replant them.
If you build a chorus farm on End Stone inside your cave base, choose a tall chamber or carve extra room overhead so neither End Stone ceilings nor the 128 Bedrock roof block the plant's upward growth.
