Fixed End generation? (small islands instead of starting with main island

Is there a way to make so when I set dimension to generate like end, it will be all small islands everywhere and not main island in the middle of nowhere?

I know this will include custom code but how do I do that?

I see it's been about a year since you posted this so Idk what version of MCreator you're using or if you've moved on already, but in 2024.2 it's really easy. In your workspace, select the element for your dimension and lock its code (the lock icon at the bottom of the toolbar with the add element icon). Then try to edit it to bring up the list of files associated with the element and select the "dimension_name.json" file located at "<WORKSPACE>\src\main\resources\data\<MOD-ID>\dimension\". Scroll down until you find the section of code starting with the line '"final_density": {' and go to the bottom of the section. There is a line that says '"argument2": "minecraft:end/sloped_cheese"'. Change the "sloped_cheese" to "base_3d_noise", and voila! No more main island or thousand-block void, just a bunch of floating islands!

I should also add that you should make sure that your dimension is completely finished before locking the code because otherwise, in order to edit it normally again you will have to unlock it which will cause MCreator to reset the element back to its original state. It's not that big of a deal if you forget because it's only the one line that you have to change back, but still, good to keep in mind for convenience.
