End Crystals Break Bedrock
End Crystals Break Bedrock is a data pack and mod for Fabric, Forge and Quilt that lets end crystal explosions destroy bedrock, for 1.19 – 1.19.3.
What it does
When the pack is enabled, an end crystal placed on bedrock and set off by an explosion breaks the bedrock beneath it. The mod is built around that one mechanic and the setups used to exploit it, such as tunnelling through the bedrock layer of a world, so it fits players who want to reach areas normally sealed off by bedrock.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.19 – 1.19.3. The server must run it, while players may leave it out. The license is the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the project is not open source. Building the setup depends on items such as end crystals, bow arrows and blast resistant blocks, and the author text names a 5x5 hole cut in the nether roof as a starting point.
Key features
Bedrock breaking by explosion
End crystal explosions on bedrock remove the bedrock beneath them when the data pack is enabled.
Crystal tunnelling method
The author describes placing crystals one block apart, retreating to shoot them with arrows, then clearing any blocked items with flint and steel.
Tower setup for recessed crystals
Once crystals sit below the surface, a tower built from ladders and scaffolding lets a player shoot them from above.
Nether roof access
The author text covers cutting a 5x5 hole in the nether roof as a way to start the process.

What the author says
When you explode an end crystal that has been placed on bedrock with this pack enabled, it will also explode the bedrock. While more expensive then the tnt and headless piston glitch, this is both faster, more reliable, and does not require any external tools. Resources needed: Lots of End Crystals Bow and Arrows…
