Bigger Better End Cities
With Bigger Better End Cities installed on a Fabric server, end cities generate larger and with many more branching paths than in vanilla.
What it does
The mod rewrites how end cities are generated, so the structures grow much larger and gain many more branching paths. A config file controls the maximum number of ships per city, the maximum height of each middle tower, bridge size, the overall layout of the cities, and whether an end ship is always placed. The author's recommended values are 8 for the middle towers and a medium bridge size. Default settings raise the minimum size of a city, while deeper and other settings can produce very large structures.
Some cities can still be cut off at the height limit. The author added preventive measures in the latest versions to reduce this. The mod works alongside better end city datapacks. Bigger Better End Cities is for Fabric only, runs on the server side, and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so the source code is open source. Builds cover 1.19 – 26.3, and the latest file is for 26.3.
