Endrium Update
by NekIV.2
Endrium Update adds a new end-game material, Endrium, that players can work toward after Netherite, with ore, armor, tools and smithing upgrades built around it.
What it does
Endrium Update is a vanilla-friendly expansion for NeoForge that introduces Endrium equipment and a new step in end-game progression. Its Endrium ore, a complete armor set and a complete tool set sit alongside the existing Netherite path, and Netherite can be upgraded with Endrium through smithing. A rare Endrium Upgrade Smithing Template is needed for that recipe, and the mod includes a recipe that duplicates the template.
The mod adds a rare ancient variant of the Enderman that spawns naturally, and a custom advancement marks progress through the new content. The author kept the original progression style of the game and chose fewer, carefully fitted additions over many unrelated features. The mod works alongside other vanilla-friendly mods, and compatibility support has been added over time.
Endrium Update is published only for NeoForge and only for 1.21.1, with the latest file, 1.2.0, dated 2026-08-05. Servers and players both need the mod. The code is All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source.
