The Great End Update
by novaxkeks
With The Great End Update installed, the End dimension gains new biomes, plants, decorative blocks and a crystal-covered Enderite resource tier.
What it does
The mod adds new End biomes with unusual vegetation, fungi and crystal formations, along with new decorative blocks. Enderite ore generates in the End, and its ingots serve as crafting materials for a full armor set and a range of tools and weapons. The additions follow vanilla styling so they sit alongside the existing dimension.
