Another End Update
by BrayDaGamer1
Another End Update reworks the End dimension into four build layers with new biomes, structures, mobs and an ore, and it is published for NeoForge on 1.21.7 – 1.21.8.
What it does
The mod splits the End into layers by height. The Void Layer spans Y=-16 to Y=-64 and adds the Voidstone block and the Abyssalite ore, which is the mod's strongest ore and rewards adventure play. The Normal Layer runs from Y=11 to Y=175 and keeps regular End islands, ores and biomes, and it holds most of the new content. The Ascension Layer covers Y=175 to Y=256 with small scattered islands and little extra content. The Sky Layer covers Y=375 to Y=640 with small End islands, where the Astralite gemstone can be found.
Several new mobs are added to the End, and most of them are hostile. End Silverfish are purple, travel in swarms and hit harder than their overworld relatives. Void Spiders cannot climb walls, which makes them easier to handle than their overworld counterparts. Void Creepers explode like regular creepers but move faster. The rare Void Walker spawns only in the Shadow Forest biome and inflicts blindness when a player gets near. About five new biomes sit far from the spawn, each with its own environment and mobs.
The mod is a successor to Cursed End Update that changes End terrain generation and sky, and it extends the build limit so the four layers can exist. It does not add new dimensions or biomes outside the End, and that is not planned for the future. The mod is published for NeoForge only, under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Players and servers need it on both sides, and the latest file is 0.9.0 for 1.21.8, released on the beta channel on 2026-08-01.

This mod is a spiritual successor to Cursed End Update, doing the same thing as it, but without the chaos of the other mod. This mod is also somewhat accidental because when cursed end update was…
