These structures have a 14.1% chance of generating a diamond in the treasure chest. These are not the best structures to loot due to the generation dependence, but they have a decently high spawn rate for those specifically looking for diamonds.

End Cities are one of the last structures players can explore and raid since they are only accessible after the Ender Dragon's defeat. Shulkers will guard these structures. They are immovable hostile mobs that attack players with levitation bullets by opening their shells.

Once players fight through the city, they will find chests with some of the best loot in the game. There is a 21.2% chance of two to seven diamonds generating in them. However, players can also obtain enchanted diamond gear, which is better than just getting diamonds.
