What is Another End Update?

Another End Update is a mod that completely overhauls the end dimension with new biomes, structures, blocks, and mobs. This mod is a spiritual successor to Cursed End Update, doing the same thing as it, but without the chaos of the other mod. This mod is also somewhat accidental because when cursed end update was created, I made 2 workspaces instead of one

What does this mod do differently?

This mod does a lot of things differently from Cursed End Update, not only does it have different content than the other mod, but it also has way less chaos than the other mod, Another End Update was created to not only update the end dimension, but transform it, this mod gives the end a custom sky, changes terrain generation, increases the build limit, adds layers, and actualy adds structures. This mod doesn't resort to adding entirely new dimensions just for biomes, and this isn't planned anytime soon.

New Layers of the End Dimension

Currently, the end in this mod has 4 layers, the build limit in the end has been extended, allowing these layers to exist, these layers may change in the future

• Void Layer, this layer spans from Y=-16 to Y=-64, it consists of a new block called Voidstone, and a new ore called Abyssalite, Abyssalite is a powerful ore worth the adventure to get
• Normal Layer, this layer lasts from Y=11 to Y=175, it consists of the regular end islands, ores, and biomes, its where most of everything is
• Ascension Layer, this layer spans from Y=175 to Y=256, it consists of small islands scattered around, this layer doesn't have a lot of content
• Sky Layer, this layer spans from Y=375 to Y=640, it consists of small end islands and not much else, however up here you can find Astralite, a new gemstone

New Mobs

This mod adds a lot of new mobs to the end, most mobs are hostile and will attack you, but they don't fight each other

• End Silverfish, this mob is like a silverfish, but purple in color, they attack in swarms and aren't easy to fight off, they deal more damage than regular silverfish
• Void Spiders, these mobs are a little easier to deal with, unlike their overworld counterpart, they can't climb walls, making them much easier to deal with
• Void Creepers, they work similar to regular creepers, they're hostile and will explode, however they're faster than regular creepers so be careful
• End Knocker, this is a dangerous mob, it's rarer, but deals a ton of knockback, it doesn't do an unfair amount of knockback, but it still does a lot, wearing any armor with knockback resistance counters this mob
• Void Walker, this mob is rare, it only spawns in the Shadow Forest, the most terrifying biome in the mod, when it gets near you it gives you blindness
• Void Brute, this mod is similar to the Void Walker, except it has red eyes and a sword, it does more damage than the void walker, it has more health, but it's rarer, it also only spawns in the Shadow Forest
• Acidic Walker, this mob is the rarest mob currently, it only spawns in the Toxic Heap biome, which is the rarest biome, a powerful new ore called Toxicrite is found here

New Biomes

So far, there are about 5 new biomes, each biome has different environments to explore and mobs to fight, so far, there is

• Amethyst Valley, a biome full of amethyst and obsidian, you will find trees made of quartz and amethyst blocks here, this biome doesn't have anything too unique about it
• Chorus Valley, this biome has purple trees with chorus wood, this biome is rather dangerous, having a lot of end silverfish, end silverfish camoflauge quite well in this biome
• End Wilds, a pretty yellow biome that's relatively peaceful, having less mob spawns and open spaces, you'll probably like it here
• Shadow Forest, a gloomy, dark forest with a lot of eerie sounds, this biome has the Void Walker and Void Brute, so be careful
• Toxic Heap, the rarest biome, this biome is the home of the Acidic Walker, and a new ore called Toxicrite

New Ores

So far, there are 6 new ores, each ore is unique in their own way, each ore is as follows

• Abyssalite Ore: This ore is found in the void layer, it is a powerful ore, attacking an enemy with an abyssalite tool has a chance to give it blindness and withering, but be careful, because there's a chance the debuffs can deflect back to you
• Endersteel: This ore is the end's version of gold, the tools mine incredibly fast, way faster than gold, but has extended reach and a low durability, this ore is blue in color
• Endpuristine: This ore doesn't have a tool or armor set, it also doesn't currently have a use, altho in the future it might get a use, this ore is light blue in color
• Endorium: This is the end's version of diamonds, it is a rather strong ore, this ore increases your mining speed, and is required to upgrade to Toxicrite, it is orange in color
• Enderite: This is the end's version of iron, it's decently powerful, but not the best in the long term, it is purple in color and is planned to have decor
• Toxicrite: This is the end's version of netherite, it is the strongest ore in the mod, to obtain it you need to find the toxic heap, and go close to the bottom of the end islands to find toxic debris, then smelt it into toxicrite scraps and combine them with endersteel to make toxicrite ingots, but to upgrade from endorium you need a toxicrite upgrade smithing template

New Structures

So far, there's only one structure, but more are planned to be added in the future, this structure is the End Tower, a very tall structure filled with shulkers, fight your way to the top to get the loot up there, this structure is currently the only way to obtain toxicrite upgrade smithing templates, which you can then duplicate with end stone and diamonds

Special Items

This mod features 2 special items, these items are very useful and have different functions

• Interdimensional Eye, this item acts as a bridge between the overworld and the end, whenever you're in the overworld, you can use this item to teleport to the end, whenever you're in the end, you can teleport to the overworld, there's an advancement for using this item
• Void Totem, this item is like a totem of undying, but used in the void, if you fall below Y=-96, the totem activates and you're launched into the air, then you get slow falling so you can land safely, this item works well in the mainhand, but there's a bug where it doesn't work in the offhand, this bug will be fixed eventually

There are also plenty more wonders waiting to be discovered, and secrets waiting to be revealed
