What it does

Ancient Ender Armor is a complete set of elite gear that, according to the mod's description, was worn by the gods who lived in the End long ago. Equipping the full set and double-tapping Space launches the wearer forward in a dash. Wearing even a single piece makes Endermen hold back from attacking, so players can look at them without provoking an attack.

Players who tame an Enderman with an Ancient Eye gain a companion that can teleport the player to safety when they fall into the void while exploring the End. Taming an Ancient Ender Horse with the same item grants permanent Night Vision and removes fall damage, and the horse can be ridden across lava. The mod adds these items and mobs to the End for exploration and travel.

The Ancient End runs on the client and the server, so both need it, and it is published for Forge only, with builds for 1.20.1. The latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, released on 2026-01-23, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.

What the author says

Have you ever wondered if The End was once home to an... Ancestral Civilization? Thousands of years later, the ancient ruins and spirits of that era still linger in the void. The Ancient End lets you bridge that gap, uncovering technology so advanced it feels like magic (but let’s be honest, it’s actually just really…
