I have finally gotten around to removing the end island. I've been considering it for a while, then I saw this video on youtube -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPT4CSVl2ek&list=PLtDeYppNJ5sDf_o9XmB36Zj3HGlxONbHO&index=429

This really inspired me to get started and stop wasting time. If you are considering it, do it. It is a LOT of work, but it is worth it. Now I can start my end city build.
