Tips

Break the bottom of a chorus tree to drop the whole plant; replant chorus flowers on end stone at home.
Chorus fruit teleports you randomly when eaten - never snack near a cliff edge.
Highlands plus midlands cover every End city in the game: if an island has a city, it is one of these two biomes.
