Nourishend
by lixir
Nourishend, a Forge mod by lixir, expands the End dimension with plants, food, ores and blocks that make it workable for survival.
What it does
Nourishend turns the End into a place where a survival player can gather materials and eat. A bamboo-like plant supplies wood, Gelatide Bulbs grow large melon-style bulbs for renewable food, and end stone dust yields flint. Nullstone lets players craft stone items there, and end iron ore provides iron without leaving the dimension.
The mod also adds chorus jelly, a food pressed from sugar and chorus fruit, which gives a potion effect when eaten, along with two new potion effects and a set of decorative blocks. Its author describes it as a lightweight expansion meant to add content without overloading the End. A legacy version, Enlightend, is kept as a related build, and the mod works alongside it.
Nourishend is published for Forge only, for the game versions 1.18.2 – 1.20.1, with files for 1.18.2, 1.19.2 and 1.20.1. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
