Endshards
by amot-dev
Endshards is a Fabric magic and adventure mod that extends the late game with three armor sets, a new dimension and a boss fight beyond the diamond tier.
What it does
Endshards makes equipment beyond the diamond set harder to acquire, so progress in the late game asks more of the player. Gear from the new armor sets requires defeating the Wither, and the mod sets its equipment in the existing Netherite path rather than replacing it. New equipment comes with special abilities, which the author describes as making gameplay more fun.
The mod adds a new dimension called the Nightmare Realm, loosely inspired by the Spirit World in Witchery. The author states the dimension is still in development, with biome plans and a planned boss fight still to come. Endshards runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, across nine release versions 1.18 – 1.21.4, and the code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
Key features
Three armor sets
Three new armor sets extend the endgame beyond the diamond tier, with abilities tied to each piece.
Nightmare Realm dimension
A new dimension called the Nightmare Realm gives players a separate area to explore in the late game.
Boss encounter
A new boss fight sits at the end of the progression, meant to be a challenge for players who want one.
Wither-gated progression
Some of the new equipment requires defeating the Wither, so the armor is earned rather than crafted from early materials.

Use cases
Late-game progression
Players who have finished the diamond tier and want more to work toward can use the new armor sets and the boss fight.
Adventure maps
Map makers can build around the Nightmare Realm and its boss, since it works as a self-contained extra stage.
Who it’s for: Players who have run out of endgame goals in vanilla Minecraft, and server owners who want a harder path to the strongest equipment. Because the mod is still being built out, players should expect the dimension and boss to change in later releases.
