Strider657's End Update
by Strider657
Strider657's End Update, a NeoForge mod, changes the End dimension with new biomes, structures, blocks, plants and creatures across the outer islands.
What it does
The mod turns the barren End outside the central island into a place worth exploring. Five new biomes spread across the outer islands, with temples, shrines, outposts and ruins holding loot. Two new metal tiers, Enderite and Ambynite, bring full tool and armor sets, plus hammers and stronger axes for combat.
A new creature source, the End Cube, yields Endium Dust, which is used to brew the mod's signature potion. That potion gives a movement toolkit covering void levitation, gliding, teleportation and dashing, and the mod notes that it is deliberately balanced. Two enchantments, Teleportation and Auto Collect, are added as well.
The mod is available for NeoForge only and is published for 1.21.1 and 1.21.8, with 1.3.0 for 1.21.8 as the latest file. Both sides need it, so servers and players install the same build. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Patchouli is optional and provides an in-game guide, the End Update Compendium, that documents the content; it is craftable from a book and an Ender Pearl, and the mod runs without it.
