The End Update
by Ritro
The End Update adds vanilla-adjacent biomes, blocks and mobs to the End dimension, aimed at players who want more to find there.
What it does
The End Update is a lightweight expansion of the End dimension. It gives under-used vanilla features a larger role and introduces new biomes built to complement the base game. Endstone has an End-based grass called End Mire, related to Endstone the way nylium relates to netherrack, and the mod is inspired by the mold theme seen in its blocks.
The mod's content spans a complete set of green Ethereal wood blocks, ornamental Mold Foliage, and Stellarith Crystal spikes, which appear alongside herds from the Mirelands and place Ethereal Orbs close to their tips. Mold and mire-type blocks, including the wood family, can be composted. The mod requires Fabric API, runs on Fabric only and is released under the MIT License as open source, with a showcase trailer covering nearly every feature.
Key features
End Mire and Endstone grass
End Mire is an End-dimension grass that relates to Endstone in the way nylium relates to netherrack.
Ethereal wood set
A full wood family in green tones, with its blocks able to be composted like the other mold and mire blocks.
Stellarith Crystal spikes
Crystal spikes generate in the End and spawn Mireland herds, with Ethereal Orbs appearing near their tips.
Phantom control in a confined biome
Phantoms spawn only inside a confined biome, which makes them less disruptive than insomnia phantoms elsewhere.

Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want the End dimension to hold more content. Servers need the mod on the server and on every player's client, and Fabric API must be installed alongside it.
