I would love to hear your thoughts on a potential end update! I’d love to hear your wacky ideas! Perhaps you think another dimension should be added! Perhaps they should finally do the quality of life update! I wanna hear it all!
I think a new armor set would be too much and adding to much content past the ender dragon would be bad. Maybe a new biome and/or structure, mabye a piece of armor similar to the turtle shell or a new weapon but nothing else. The End is called The End for a reason its not just called that for ambience, no its literally the end.
@@jander2684 I mean, it's the end cause it's the third and final dimension, doesn't mean it can't/shouldn't have more going on. It's remained unchanged for so long and now that not only the nether but also overworld are both son fleshed out it's super underwhelming as an end-game exploration to just be flying between the same flat islands with nothing but chorus trees, endermen and the occasional end city. I agree that armour may be a bit much but a few extra biomes and unique unusual looking items with special use cases like the turtle shell would be really cool - maybe even a shulker-boss guarding it (or you get the materials required to craft it from them)
Upside down buildings on the other side of those islands? Maybe new creatures that live upside down? Maybe buidlings that pop in and out of existence? I dont think they should put in armor but instead new weapons for pvp.I always thought that they could just put in more utility weapons instead of letting players use stuff like rods or water.
Like a huge fan that u use to push back entities, or a grapling hook or a Kunai rope dart like scoprion. An artifact that you would hold and fire would damage it instead of you.
One Idea I have is a new rare ender eye that can be put on shields, that allows you to hold one mob by sneaking while shielding from a few blocks away, this would let you transport mobs or kill them by chucking them into the void. I bet you could kill someone by let a warden out. I have few other wacky ideas for the end .
I hope they maintain the "deadness" of the End. Focusing on the foreign terrain generation instead of adding the equivalent of a new wood set is what I'm picturing.
@@calvinjohnson6242 End is supposed to be barren, it is literally called the end. If you play through minecraft and find yourself searching for an elytra, the end feels incredibly eerie when you are far away from anything but nameless islands and endermen. The nether is supposed to be chaotic, so the empty feeling didn't fit is as much. Hope this helps
@@forrestgorby7980 The word “End” doesn’t necessarily imply a barren wasteland. Though I agree the eerie sense of loneliness the End inspires is good, I don’t ever go there unless I want an elytra because it’s boring. More gameplay value needs to be added. That’s the truth. If the End got more challenges, plants, biomes, and mobs… it would be better. We would go there more often. We would have more fun there. It would be a more involved experience and feel like a part of the game. I don’t get a feeling of “barren alien wasteland” from the End. I get the immersion breaking feeling of playing in an unfinished area of the game. An incomplete prototype that was added years ago and doesn’t live up to the game that exists today.
I feel like if there ever is a end ore, it should be used to upgrade tools that typically can’t be upgraded, such as the bow, crossbow, shield, elytra, trident, and so on. Edit: Damn when did I get so many likes +.+
the issue with this though is that the bow, trident, and crossbow already have enchantments that generally escalates as players transition from iron to diamond to netherite. the shield and elytra also are good enough on their own, their only enchantments, unbreaking mending and the curses, don’t affect how they function much.
If they add another tier of armor and tools they also need more challenges to use them on. Netherite already feels like an op endgame item at its stage of the game even though you can get it before the ender dragon. The end update in my opinion should come after mojang adds some level of challenge and difficulty to the game.
Considering how much of the end is warped or even partially inverted overworld concepts, I'll do you one better by saying that this material shouldn't be an ore but rather something organic. Like the fruit-like core of some gigantic, ancient seeming and bizarre organism, potentially one feeding off the void in some way. Would be really cool to have an upgrade path that doesn't make a thing harder and stronger in the standard material sense, but rather makes it function in a more dynamically powerful way with a look that makes it seem conceivably alive. Symbiotically enhanced rather than simply reinforced. Make a crossbow into a harpoon launcher or giving a bow multiple charge stages, that sort of stuff.
The End in my mind captures the exact opposite of claustrophobia. It's just barren, open, and empty. If new biomes are added, I hope they maintain that feeling.
Yea they could keep on theme. Instead of random natural generation of the overworld, just add more rings further out with 1000 blocks of void in between each one.
Im happy that other people seem to also think that a potential ender set of armour and tools should be a sidegrade rather than an upgrade to netherite.
Agree it make sense like netherite is native for the Nether it's should be good at only in the nether Every set of gear should have it own used beside adding more armor like how they did with leather boots
I feel that unique Items that can be used in addition to netherite would be good, because netherite is hard to get and already strong enough. That being said, I think that any new additions should have there own use so people don't just ignore them and use netherite instead.
tbh i alrd ignore netherite armour and just use diamond armour in pvp cuz the kb helps me more than them (untill u get a more sweaty player but even then its easier to combo someone in neth rather than diamond)@@legobrainbikergaming7422
Make the armor the same but their effect different, netherite doesn't burn in lava but it doesn't really make sense for end armour not to. Maybe give end armor a cooldown ability to teleport/levitate? Not sure what addition you could make while keeping on par with netherite but there's definitely something.
I think it would be cool if netherite armor was design for a tankier build, with higher damage reduction and knockback negation, and end armor for an "assasin" build, with lower armor value but movement speed bonus Tools should be similar, netherite ones being considerably more durable, while end ones being slightly faster
I like this idea, maybe an “enderite” pick could even instamine deepslate but the durability would give people the choice of Varied use/higher frequency vs Specific use/lower frequency
I think it would be cool to also add on the end armor and weapons that if you die in the void with them, they spawn back with you. Not any dying, specifically just from falling into the void. Netherite gear can't be destroyed by the nethers biggest environmental hazard, lava; so likewise i think Enderite gear should also not be destroyed by the ends biggest environmental hazard, the void.
This is a good idea but it should be expanded into a combat update of sorts, the armors shouldn’t directly better then any other set, like leather is still useful with powdered snow, gold is the fastest tools, netherite should be a decision, if you want to be a melee brawler go ahead but if you want to be an archer go with gold which can now boost your speed and adding ‘enderium’ makes you faster, jump boost, and maybe slow falling if you shift. But it’s durably is lower than maybe even diamond.
I would love love love to see more alien-like biomes in the end, particularly biomes that focus on alien plant-life. I think it would be super cool to find end cities with weird unnatural and impressive greenhouses displaying the strange plants that grow in their dimension, perhaps they could be used for some type of potion or ability, but honestly I'd be cool with just having more plants. I think focusing on natural alien fauna would really suit the vibe you discuss in the video
i would love to see song baren biome; perhaps dead plants or abandoned end-huts. also maybe some sort of pristine forest almost completely untouched. maybe even signs of mining and/or experiments with livestock in the end or the goop from crying obsidian, etc... these would be great additions in my opinion last second edit: we could plant corus fruit in the overword for some weird sort of tree
The end is supposed to be a desolate wasteland, a broken world perhaps corrupted by the ender dragon. If we make it filled with life and vibrant alien ecosystems then that wouldn’t feel right, you can have ecosystems and plants, but they should have a sense of emptiness, corruption, unnatural feel to them, the end should feel like an oppressive void where everything has been consumed by a corruption, what looks like what could have been vibrant jungles is now empty besides for some unnatural trees even to this realm and mobs that make no sense in such an ecosystem. The end should feel like, the end; a world corrupted so heavily by the dragon that that’s all that there is left, corruption.
Great video! Just To name a few ideas: 1) New alien looking plants (Nettle Bulds, mussroot banks etc) 2) New Biomes that must keep the end looking eerie 3) A new liquid like water but purple coloured & toxic for players to stand in 3) New hostile mobs that match the enderman theme 4) New structures like purple looking crystal shrines or giant chains holding some islands together 5) A Cave system within the floating islands that contain a strange new ore & other features 7) New dark particle effects added to the landscape 8) A new race of villagers called the faceless ones that you can trade with 9) Add strange whispers as a sound effect in the background 10) Just like weather in the overworld, I would add a sort of geomagnetic storm with purple lighting strikes that happen randomly, maybe even purple acid rain that will damage players unless they seek cover I'm full of ideas, but I think I've wasted enough time brainstorming for one comment 😂
Hey jeracraft, i Hope you are doing well! I like what you propose, i would like this features added but only if they stay authentic to Minecraft, its very important
The problem with an end update is that the eerie feeling of nothingness is the true experience of the end. You have to somehow preserve that. Since netherite protects you against the main threat of the nether, end upgrades should maybe protect you against the void. By letting you teleport back 5 seconds or the last safe place. Or maybe if you die, the things teleport to you (instant or if you are close by) so you dont lose them. Or give you something end themed, like short Levitation or teleporting straight down to avoid fall damage.
One way of making things eerily empty despite there being a lot more to it would be if the lively nature was inherently tough to access for the player. Flip the idea of the overworld and just make the easily traversable parts as barren as the underground while making the underside a voidborne ecosystem, hostile to conventional means of traversal. In that way, void countering end gear would actually have a similar effect to netherite in the nether, letting you feel more at home because you are better guarded against its greatest danger.
I think the idea of more vertically placed islands fits really great here, maybe those new biomes dont need to be lush but more something like a type of desert or mountain. I think when it comes to new end biomes subnauticas biomes can be a really great inspiration for a desolate and alien feel
maybe upon death, end upgrades could return to your ender chest. that seems like a good alternative to the teleporting idea without feeling like it's just a soft "/gamerule keepInventory true".
I love how much thought went into this. I agree with all your points. I've gotten tired of "end villagers" and "end forests" when people talk about an end update. Looking forward to seeing more of this.
Yea the Overworld is all about trees and the Nether is mostly fungi related so we don't need either of those in the End thats just more of the same. What ever they add should be more ethereal and an aspect not overly represented in the other two dimensions.
Bean stalks with the end aesthetic would fit pretty well, Or tree-like foliage that are very tall that curve around in unnatural ways, or I do feel like giving the end SOME life to flourish in the end is pretty great. You see I like to lean more on the idea of "Exploring the mysterious land where you don't belong where nothing makes sense" critters with other worldly abilities like umping 15 blocks tall or smth and they looks like bugs. A cool idea is to make peaceful mobs look like large purple insects or something that could fit as a deep sea creature.
Yea I agreee. Id love to see some more flora but id prefer if it was in the same vein as chorus fruit. Not really anything identifiable and completely alien.
If you're going to add new biomes to the end, the WORST thing you can do is pull from stuff found in conventional nature. No giant mushrooms or weird trees. That immediately robs the End of its alien feel. I'd also keep any new biomes as sparse as what we currently have, using the same limited colour pallets and only sporting a few features each. Since the End is intended to be traversed using Elytra, you can spread everything out in a way that makes it all feel isolated while still ensuring there's plenty to see. I'd especially focus on weird geological formations that are fun to fly through. Like identical pillars of obsidian topped with hoops of shiny black glass, or geometric chasms crisscrossed by skinny bridges of purple stone. For new flora, I'd keep it as weird and un-plant-like as the chorus plants, while also ensuring only one type of plant spawns in each biome to keep that barren sensation that's vital to the End's loneliness. For structures, I'd use MC Escher as inspiration. Upside-down monuments clinging to the underside of islands, cathedrals full of zig-zagging staircases that go sideways or bend back on themselves, and clusters of little floating temples comprised almost entirely of columns. I'd populate these places with only a few artificial-feeling guardians, akin to the Shulker. Off the top of my head, a mob with reversed gravity that walks on the ceiling of these temples sounds very fun.
Nothing immediately recognizable as anything you already know - Like how chorus plants don't actually look like any plant. Buildings with stairs and hallways in odd directions, branching out in ways that don't make sense to traverse by normal means. I don't know that sparseness in particular in necessary, so much as unfamiliarity - I think even dense forests could work, just not of trees. Terraria Calamity Mod's astral infection has a vibe that I think would work great - purplish black monoliths instead of trees, with glowing orange and blue spots. Dark, synth-heavy music, minimal natural light. Beautiful, but strange and unfamiliar. I do like the idea of relatively minimal biomes - High variety, but not lots of different things in the same place. Very minimal color schemes. There can be several colors, but everything has the same set of colors in each place.
The thing with the nether is that it kept its theme very good. Hellscape, fungal plant life, swine animal life, wasteland but still diverse and unique. I hope if mojang ever makes an end update they keep the theme of a barren wasteland but still make it unique to the nether and over world.
The only other think I’d say could work would be warped fungus, having a warped fungus biome would tie it to the nether slightly while still keeping the alien feel of the end
As much as verticality would make sense from a gameplay perspective, if you want to feel alone & alienated this will directly impede that goal. The ability to just have an uninterrupted gaze into the void is hugely important in this regard.
3 biomes I think would be perfect for the end: Obsidian/newblock spires: A massive voidspace filled with large end platforms stemming off of giant prisms floating in the sky at various angles almost like those mushrooms you can fine. for a reason to go there, the spires could be one of the places you find the new ore, and the block they're made out of could get brick varients. Inverted Forest taking advantage of the new verticality of the end, a moss grows on the underside of this biome's platforms, and there are notably "tall" trees hanging from the bottom with leaves that spread out like jungle tree leaves as platforms for you to be able to stand on. the endermoss should have a particle drip like lava to imply that these trees collect dripping minerals from the island. Ancient Dragon grounds Large bone skulls can be found across a land with notably rough terrain. That plus either more chorus or a new bamboo type plant make it clear this biome is meant to be explored in the sky. in this biome you can find a structure called the dragon's nest. It's made of obsidian and crying obsidian, and contains a shulker box with some end themed loot, and a dragon egg will spawn nearby in the weeds of the biome. I think that structures that imply dragons *used* to be in the lands would be great, but im not a structure idea guy
An Inverted forest would be a good idea Inverted Forest - There could be another food source found in the Inverted forest that messes with the gravity the player experiences. The player could consume a berry or root of some sort and then the player can walk on the underside of the main platform where the biome is hanging or inverted from. There could be a time limit that the player would have to watch. If the new root is farmed in the Overworld it would poison plants in a certain radius. That would limit its use.
Another biome which could retain the end's openess should just be clusters of bushels that are purple that spread on for literal chunks or miles, while keeping diversity, they still are wide and expansive, you could fit long-limbed mobs here which are extremely tall that feed on these small bushes on the ground with a possible new fruit for potions.
For one, the first thing they should work on if anything in the end is the dragon fight as well as the dragon model which are both heavily outdated and while I do agree the end should have more structures and blocks what a lot of people don’t get is the end isn’t supposed to have a lot of vibrant colors so it really should stay at least mostly purple and yellow
Having the dragon be capable of actually landing and moving along the ground would be a great starting point, maybe even make it have a second phase where it gets grounded and goes for telegraphed melee attacks.
The End should be more accessible and interesting to players who focus on building rather than combat. It seems like a killing field and I wouldn't mind more interactions with the biome and the Endermen. This is an unpopular opinion but I only play Minecraft for the interactivity and creativity of the biomes. Once my little base/kingdom is established I connect with other Villages and the combat gets old.
@@finnkuudere3516 To that end, a means of establishing a spawn point or at least a permanent fast travel point (via a teleporter hub multi block structure for example) inside the end is a must. Currently the outer end is just an unsustainable base location because if you ever die out there, you always start back at the center island, no checkpoints.
I wanna see some otherworldly or totally alien structures in the End. The sort of thing to have no knowable explanation and give items with no purpose to the player, so that it leaves people perplexed and feeling like they've actually been somewhere foreign.
that idea is not bad stylistically, but gameplay wise that would not give any more tangle reasons to go to the end. it would just be interesting the first time you encounter it, but they ned to also add some real progression related upgrades that give you a better reason to explore
While minecraft dungeons is a completely different kind of game, I've found that aesthetics-wise the artists/map makers for it deserve a *lot* of respect, and frankly much of what they've done should be utilized in minecraft proper. Particularly in regards to The End. Unfortunately, recordings and screenshots don't really do a good job of properly conveying the feel of the place. I also love your observation that fundamentally, The End should be safe for wandering/idling, only becoming a thread when disturbed.
“Safe unless the player interrupts the world” is a really good concept if they were to pull of that it would really feel like a place with some deep lore
I like the idea of the end being divided up by it's distance from the center island, perhaps the verticality of the islands get more extremes and the gravity becomes weaker the further out you go
If they do add some type of end villager I would want it to be extremely rare. Like keep the majority of the end the same but add some type of oasis biome where there is a strange abundance of plants and where end villages can be found. I think if the biome was as rare as say a mushroom island, then the end as a whole would still feel just as lonely. If not lonlier from the villagers perspective as they're the only life for thousands upon thousands of blocks.
I kind of dont hope that happens, but if it must, I like the idea that you simply cant trade. Theres no communication involved. They avoid you, and run when you are near. They fear what they do not understand. Perhaps they sometimes drop items for you, maybe when you complete tasks that are implied but not told. Something different to piglins, at least.
@@fgvcosmic6752 It would make sense if they start liking you if you carry around a dragon's head, or you can only trade using dragon's breath. I'd love to see them make use of the the hatred towards the dragon who enslaved and corrupted everyone.
@@fgvcosmic6752 "I like the idea that you simply cant trade. Theres no communication involved. They avoid you, and run when you are near. They fear what they do not understand.

Maybe the player can discover a ruin or small monument nearby like a desert well that has glyphs that imply instructions as to the need for pacifism and unknown tasks the player can complete. The inhabitants could be a cross between Endermen and Villagers or even smaller Endermen that have separated from the main Endermen group.
Honestly it would be funny if they just added traveling merchant spawns to The End instead of new villagers and villages. Just give him End related items to trade. Maybe replace his llamas with some new floating mounts for the end.
I know exactly the vibe you're talking about; isolated, like you're a foreigner, almost like if you didn't interact with the Endermen they wouldn't even recognize your presence. It feels like you are an invader in someone else's dream. If Mojang can make an End update that both preserves that feeling, while also making it fun and interesting to explore, that would be quite the feat! I like your discussion of verticality, that definitely seems like a missing aspect from the End. Another aspect that is peculiarly absent from the End is both mining and crafting, but I feel as though this exclusion may be deliberate, and adds to the feeling of the End being alien.
It would be awesome if all the new mobs added weren't hostile to you unless certain conditions were met that bugged them similar to endermen. Maybe you could have a stationary plant-like mob that only attacks if you get too close, or a mob that tries to break stuff that it sees you build. The dynamics between the players and these mobs would be so interesting.
I think something that resembles the western air temple from Avatar TLA would fit really well. Like upsidedown structures that dangle on the bottom of a floating island.
I really like what you've said here and what people have said in the comments, but I'd like to add one thing on to what you said about end villagers etc. When I think of the end, the two words I think of are sparse and desolate. I think desolate is especially a key defining trait of the end, and it falls in with the hostility and alien points you made. I don't think that the sparseness as it is right now is a good thing; having to travel literally 3000 blocks to find an end city, only for it to not have an elytra is super frustrating. I'd love the sparseness be taken in regards to the terrain; there's little foliage or only occasional trees, making it feel more empty despite the vast number of additions and new blocks. Perhaps the elytra can be reworked a little bit, as the current design also shuts down minecarts and makes multiplayer servers feel a little worse, but that's more me wishing.
Personally, I think The End _needs_ to have a sort of barren and lifeless feel... Its called "The End," so it makes sense for emptiness to be the theme. They need to revamp The End in a way where it _looks_ visually stunning while giving that same alien, lonely, and empty feeling. Not empty as in lacking content, but empty as in devoid of life. I don't want them to do a repeat of the Nether Update, where they just add a ton of new plants and stuff. For the Nether it works because it feels alive in an unnatural and creepy way, but the End should have only sparse plant life in very specific biomes, like with the Chorus Fruit. I wouldn't mind if they had a rare Chorus Tree to get purple wood or something though, but they would have to do it _just right_ in order to fit the vibe.
Hello Garret This has got to be one of my favourite video essays. The intro sequence is so good (the music you composed sounds like a blend between brian eno's music for airports and C418s volume alpha). Throughout the whole video, the chosen music & footage along with your relaxed though introspective demeanor really immerses one into the sort of mystical foreign mood that is the end. The analogy comparison to the nether's transformation is a good way to put it; instead of it being hostile as the nether is, it is to be foreign and surreal as it is the end. Though I think along with it being foreign and surreal, it is also mystical, and so, not only should their be alien remenants & elusive mobs, though there should also be elusive villages occupied by those who are native to the end (similar to 'little elves deep in the magical forest' mood). Im so glad your channel came into my recommended (its cool to be present to a channel blowing up as yours seems to be as this comment is written).
Thank you for the wonderful comment! I AM SO HAPPY that people are enjoying the intro sequence. I wrote that song almost a year ago and haven't had a use for it until this video. Your comment has made my day!
3:38 just for the intro, i hope mojang watches videos like these. it shows how updates affect us, what details we notice and what we love from an update and they could take some notes
Call me dated, but I like the desolation and emptiness of the end, in a weird way. I know that it does need an overhaul and new stuff, but I guess I’ve grown kind of attached to it. Like the most I would want would be some kind of oasis that you can find rarely with new plants or structures, but I strangely like it as it is. Like you said it feels like we, as the player, do not belong there and that it is weirdly soothing there. I don’t want it to loose that quality.
What if the end was lively, but that part of it was near impossible to comfortably explore? I'm thinking in the direction of flipping the overworld concept and making the surface fairly barren with some differences in the almost always lifeless arrangement of terrain while making the underside harbor a void based ecosystem. Fascinating, but extremely treacherous terrain for the intruding player not to mention that its existence would not be immediately obvious.
An End update is what I've been waiting and wishing for to happen for years now. In my hardcore world ever since I've gotten an elytra I never really went back and explored more of the islands. Because there isn't rly much to explore aside from a few extra elytras. Plus I just hope one day they do make an End update, thus I wouldn't need to go that far away from the main island to find new stuff
Something like the distortion world from Pokemon Platinum could be really cool. Maybe blocks that can change gravity? But other than that, Purple and White Trees would be cool. Maybe Lavender Trees, and Husk Trees? Maybe a Black Tree type too, like Voided Oak? The end needs an update, but it needs to be done right
I had three ideas for an end update: 1) the armor/ore/enchantments gotta be a different path than the overworld and the nether 2) The yellow thing inside the shulker could be that ‘alien’ and it infests all the new mobs or is that thing that makes them move. Add a purple/blue/red End Golem that has different abilities 3) Add a castle at the end of time. It’s where the golems could patrol and could give the theme that someone tried to conquer the end… but ultimately it was a trap as they could never leave without slaying the dragon
Oh, the alien thing makes me think of how zoglins and piglins behave in the overworld. Maybe certain mobs could be corrupted, ender-versions of themselves if you tried to transport them to the end ?
Bro- you nailed it. Any time i discuss an End update with anyone, i ALWAYS stress that it needs to keep the barren, alien vibe. It's the most important thing, and honestly I'd rather have no End update than one that ruins that vibe.
Super sweet vid! I love the idea of verticality and it inspiring exploration like how TOTK did, and I think that wold be insanely satisfying in the end! this would be a huge opportunity for Mojang to incorporate more of the lore they've been hinting at as well.
The end is your ultimate blank canvas for your Minecraft world. This is the realm in which you are the creator of. Your mind is the idea of the end. Just look at all the amazing examples of this in your video. And against the backdrop of the void, breathtaking. Here is the place where we get to truly create.
You're definitely right about adding verticality in the end for the elytra. I think another thing to pair with that would be a launch pad block that flings you in whatever direction you want to go, up, forward or to the side. Would give a bit less finite version of fireworks while being balanced since it has to be placed to work. Plus it'd add some really nice options for the rest of the game. I guess aswell they could add an item that functions like an automated water bucket fall save, but with how OP that is it should probably be difficult to make and one time use like the totem. Both of these things are also super on theme for the end with the shulkers levitation. Though I'd prefer it if it was a new enemy type that is a lot more focused on levitation so shulkers don't get like 7 different uses. Maybe a levitation crystal that you'd get from a difficult enemy type that can be "bottled" in shulkers shells. Oh and after all this time, a use for the dragon egg would be a really nice touch. Sure you probably shouldn't be allowed to raise your own dragon (don't care still want it) but maybe you could add in a giant nest structure where a dragon that was the mate of the og stays with the rest of the eggs. He could serve as a harder dragon fight but if during the fight you place the egg in the arena it would turn him passive. (I've forgotten if you can get the egg multiple times, so if you can't then just make it so the egg spawns everytime you beat the respawned dragon. Though I assume that's already there.) Oh actually yeah that'd be the best of both. Have him function like a tamed creature and let you fly around on him to keep that verticality theme, but keep him exclusive to the end. That way it doesn't change the meta for the rest of the game, just the new additions.
I like the idea of diversifying upgrades. You could pick between netherite, endersteel, or deepsculk armor upgrades deepsculk would come from the deep dimension also, biome names could be "choir forest", "void belt", "great basin", and "ender feilds"
On the note of the 3 upgrades, each set should have its own perks Obviously, Netherite already has protection against being burnt in lava, so maybe give fire resistance and wither resistance, too? Then, the end upgrade would give protection against the void (maybe a keepinv effect or a chorus effect if you are too far from solid ground and falling, whether after a shulker moved you up too high, or whether you fell into the void) and teleport you when a projectile hits you, similar to how endermen teleport away Finally, sculk makes you invisible to wardens no matter the noise, protects against their attacks, and perhaps, with the way how sculk is in the underground, negates more/all fall damage
Bro I havent left a comment on UA-cam in a WHILE, but this had to have one. The commentary, way you speak, calmness in your presentation, perspective in your position as well as the possible positions of others, the footage, everything?? AMAZING. Until you’d mentioned it towards the end I had no idea this video had the views or you had the subs you did. Keep it up man, only up from here 💜
This was probably the best minecraft video I've watched in years. I was expecting this to just be background noise for digging my massive hole in minecraft, but the way you edit is so good. Keep up the good work :)
An Oscar Meyer weiner. I’ll take an eight pack. Preferably the ones filled with jalapeño jeez. They’re usually like 3 dollars at Walmart. Just mail me some when you can. Totally serious. This isn’t a joke.
Ideas: -New Ore: Enderite can be mined and applied to Diamond Gear. If you fall into the void, the upgraded gear will rise up and float at a certain height above the void. If you die in any other way, you drop it like normal. If the item falls in the void, however, it will rise up and float. In order to apply it to gear, you'll need an Enderite Template which spawns in End City chests. The ore can be found in the Dread Lands biome. -New Item: 1) Totem of Keeping: Dropped rarely by Lost, this Totem will allow you to keep your inventory upon death. Consuming the Totem. 2) Shulk Shield: Using an Enderite Template, you can apply a Shulk Shell to a shield to increase its durability and protectiveness. -New Resource: Dragon Scales: 1-2 Scales are dropped by the End Dragon. You can apply it to an Elytra along with a Dragon Template, which increases its durability and lets you boost faster and further with Dragons Breath. You need to find the template in a new dungeon. Once applied, the Elytra now appears much like the wings of the Ender Dragon. -New Biomes: 1) Chorus Forest: New tree and wood type, has a purple color. 2) Dread Lands: Dark grey moss grows on the end stone. New Mob spawns here. You can find End City Ruins and Crashed End Ships. This is also the only biome where Enderite generates. 3) End Plains: Islands are covered in spots of purple grass with Chorus plants growing. End City's spawn more often in this biome. Essentially the vanilla biome, just with some added life. 4) Inverted Roots: The top if the island is bare, except for roots which sprout up like trees. New dark grey/black wood type. Underneath you can find the trees themselves as well as a light purple grass. Essentially an upside down forest. In order to grow the trees yourself, you must plant them on the bottom of a block. -New Mobs: 1) Lost: Primarily found on the Dread Islands. Unlike Endermen, you need to look at it in order to keep it passive. If it spots you and becomes hostile, it will attack you unless you're looking at it. If you maintain eye contact for too long, though, it will teleport away. Potentially even out of sight. It acts as a guardian of the rare resources found in the ruins. Not much health and dont deal much damage, but managing large enough groups is difficult. They act as a Guardian of Enderite. 2) Shulk: Found in Inverted Root biomes, they are a source of meat in the End. They drop Shulk Muscle, which can be cooked in a furnace. They're much like larger Shulkers. Their shells can also be used to craft a stronger shield. -New Liquid: Ether: Ether spawns in pools on the bottom of Inverted Roots biome islands. Unlike other liquids, this one flows up. Which can sometimes create upward waterfalls. Potentially a way to reach higher islands without Elytra if a waterfall is close enough to one or if players place a bucket. -New Structure: 1) End Castle: A large inverted Castle that spawns on the bottom of any island. This is where you find the Dragon Template in order to craft Dragon Elytra. Lost and Endermen guard this biome. 2) Traders Depot: A single structure that appears much like a shop. Item frames can spawn with some rarer items that are usually sold by wandering traders, as well as a pen for llamas. It can spawn in any biome. Guarantied to spawn a Wandering Trader. 3) Ruins: Ruins of End City's and Crashed End Ships that spawn in the Dread Lands. Rare resources can be found here and are much easier to get.
Another End update would include new End biomes (inspired/based on MC Dungeons & mods), expanded End Cities, new End/non-End mobs (from MC Dungeons like the End mobs, MC Legends like updated Chickens or MC Earth & the Gray Tabby Cat from the Bedrock Edition), new End blocks, new End tools/weapons (includes the unused Purple Arrow), a broken Nether Portal in the End Dimension, new misc items & a new combat system.
I think a smithing template that allows the elytra to be combined with any chestplate would be really cool. Maybe also add the same function to the turtle helmet where you can combine it with any other helmet with the smithing template
An end ore can be like an ore for ranged weapons like bow and arrows that'd be kinda cool. Like you have to add the smelted ore to your bow to give it better upgrades / bow abilities separate from enchants.
As far as keeping the end feeling empty, nullscape mod rules. Though you would want to have more rewards for exploration, and I really liked the idea of the end gen being almost like an elytra parcour, similar to 3d perlin noise. That would allow to spread out the things to find, give that wasteland feeling, while keeping gameplay up.
What I'd love to see in the end would be some sort of gravitational stuff. That's there'd be no clear direction like up and down anymore. Pokémon Platinum made an attempt once with the addition of the distortion world and I loved that feeling. That combined with the elytra would be mind blowing and would fit the theme of ender men, shulkers, and even the ender dragon perfectly imo.
My suggestion is for mojang to somehow alter the gravity in the end, make it weaker or stronger in specific biomes, fully reverse it in one. Each biome's design would match its gravity
Expected a video asking for another nether update completely deterring from what The End is supposed to be, got a video that gave some very good suggestions and explained exactly what an end update should be! One thing I would do different however is while I would give the biomes an alien vibe as you said, I wouldn’t make them purple or some obnoxious color. They should still feel natural to the eye, it should remind you of something, while feeling totally foreign at the same time. I’d also try to make The End still feel a little empty, don’t just clutter the islands with these biomes like if it’s some playground for the player. It’s still meant to feel like “The End” of Minecraft after all.
That's a fair point, because a lot of mods does make the end turn into a vomit of colors. However, the End on an already unnatural color scheme: Purple, Magenta, Black, and Chartreuse(Endstone). I'd already imagine in my idea that we will have something equivalent to Crimson (Magenta) & Warped (Cyan) for two plank colors we don't have, and would be hard to fit anywhere else natural : Purple & Lime. Yellow seems to be occupied by Bamboo, and I'll accept that as a substitute for, "Yellow Planks." Purple - Purple Heart Forest - Endermen marooned natural overworld saplings, and somehow got crossbred with Chorus plants to adapt to a realm lacking soil & water. Again, Crimson occupy Magenta, so it will be strictly in-line with purple dye blocks. Lime - Zen Forest - Completely native alien environment within large swaths of Ender Islands. Azealua Trees would need to be turned into its own wood set, occupying strictly easy-on-eyes mossy green. Mojang knows how to develop textures for Lime, in a way that it doesn't kill your eyes. Zen Forest Biomes will have oozing grays, browns, and asteroid fragment boulders within the surface. This way, blistering lime green does not stabs your eyes, only when you expose Zen Tree logs & turn them into wood products. It's not going to appeal to everyone, but we've been slowly getting, "Dyed Woodplanks," in the form of new trees. Perhaps even a new liquid type called Goop, which doesn't like Water & Lava, but will poison you for being non-native to the End. A whole tech's worth of liquid that can be customized for, "Potion Water," and have biome dependent colorization for Custom Biomes.
minecraft updates are usually always aimed towards the technical side. if we could get something as useful as the newer shulker system out of the end, it would bring almost a whole new half of minecraft to play
Maybe some type of alien type lemon plant that when eaten could work like sus stew, but with 3 types of lemon each with a good and bad effect, either both at once like turtle master, or one or the other like a gamble, Aldo make the effects either last longer or slightly more powerful
You can tell when a video has a lot of work behind it, the intro, thumbnail and ideas or arguments that this video has are amazing and very well thought. I love video essays like this, and I hope to see a lot more on the future, and that is why I’m subscribing to you. Well done man.
I think the end should still keep a similar vibe, just with some added variety like a some flora and fauna, maybe have some of the airships be crashed and ruined
You made a great point about the End being an alien realm that does not follow any kind of normal Overworld logic. I remember watching videos about potential exotic alien life forms, like silicon-based life form. We already had the Endermen, which is allergic to water, the ingredients for life for no reason, the shulker, which hide in floating box, shoots levitation bullets, and both of them rely on teleportation to get around. May be we could expand on this idea, mobs in the End would not follow any conventional rule, the would have strange crystal-like bodies, relies on teleportation and flight to move around the desolate and dsiconnected landscape of The End, now updated to introduce much more verticality.
I would love if they kept the lifeless desolate feeling of the end by not adding any plant-life. I think the overworld and nether are the life-inhabiting dimensions while the end is supposed to be barren. A datapack called nullscape executes this very well and it also adds verticality to the end, something that is very interesting to navigate and very fun to fly through.
I think it'd be really interesting if they added upside-down stuff to the underside of the floating islands, perhaps even with upside-down mobs. Imagine exploring an upside-down cathedral housing upside-down guardians?
i recently started trying the better end mod and my god... it is beautiful, i was gonna use it with the better nether and terralith but there ended up being just way too much to do so i kept it at better end and so far its been glorious
I would love if they made it more like space (I've always imagined the end as outer space) so like adding ice and crystal biomes that would fit this vibe would be so cool. I love the idea of verticality and being even more expansive but keeping that eerie dead feeling. I want this dimension to feel alien and other worldly. Loved the video and keep it up!
I've always thought the end should be more like Xen from Half-Life, perhaps resembling the Black Mesa version we received. It shouldn't be an exact replica, but it should capture the same themes and feelings. Xen, with its strange, otherworldly vibe between galaxies, in my opinion, really suits the Minecraft End-a place that feels alien yet serves a purpose, if that makes sense.
they should add a "Research lab" it would a lot to the lore of Minecraft showing that there used to be people here studying the end and making new inventions to survive, but then they accidentally made a potion that infected them and turned them into Endermen
I have played a datapack that adds more end biomes and I will say, the verticality, or lack there of is a key factor in the vibe. At least for me. Layering of islands vertically gives a sense of mystery, while the current end feels lonely and foreign. The mystery isn't bad, but I do think it would throw the vibe off a bit. P.S. The datapack I played is called Nullscape. I do think it fits the end's vibe better than the datapack you showed in the video. If you want to check it out, I highly recommend it.
My idea for a structure they could add to the End are broken bridges. These end stone and purpur bridges would be stretching from one outer end island to another but would be broken in the center to show that it hasn’t been used in a long time.
2 "biome" I had in mind were the gravity island and teleporting lands. The gravity islands would be a series of small islands that would have their own gravity field that when you come in range, you would start to fall sideways or upside down, and on the islands you could find gravity gems to make new items. For the teleporting lands, there would be blocks that blend into their surroundings, and when you step on them, you randomly get teleported to another one of the blocks, and you can mine to make new traps that teleport people where you set up other blocks.
My End Update Idea: New Biomes: End Islands/Wastes Original End Now can have end ore. Chorus Forest Source of Chorus Wood Purpur Plains Source of Purpur Grass Fragmented Islands Extremely tiny islands surrounded by voids. Contains rare items, particularly End Ore. Also contain silverfish Geyserlands Covered in geysers which erupt with liquid nitrogen New Generation: End Craters Small basins that appear on end islands Ice Geysers Every so often, it will erupt with liquid nitrogren. Appear in End Islands and Geyserlands Liquid Nitrogen Extremely cold variant of water Potent freeze effect Does not affect endermen End Lakes Found filling some craters Contain liquid nitrogen New Terrain: End Mountains Tall mountain ridges on largest end islands. Tops of them have packed nitrogen. End Valleys Deep valleys on largest end islands. Some of them can create holes thorough the island. End Caves Narrow caves on some islands. New Structures: Enderman Villages Spawn in End Wastes, and Purpur Plains ‘Villages’ made of the types of blocks that enderman can pick up. Also appear (much more rarely) in overworld and nether, and avoid generating near water and lava in both cases) Helioids Massive sunlike structures. Distorted Islands Islands with distorted gravity. Makes it possible to walk on sides of blocks. New Mobs: End Jellies Jellyfish-like mob that floats in void. Passive and rideable Endermoths Spawn around helioids Hostile Enderbeasts Spawn in Chorus Forests and Purpur Plains Hostile Drop food source New Blocks: End Soil End equivalent to dirt Generates in Chorus Forests and Purpur Plains Packed Nitrogen Similar to ice Found at peaks of end mountains Extremely cold Gravity Blocks Black blocks with glowing white outline Found in distorted islands Warp Gravity Allows for vertical redstone Chorus Wood+Variants End Stone Variants Heliod+Variants Sun Blocks. Extremely bright. New Items: End Ore Can be used to craft Endite More common in fragmented islands Endite (Diamond+End Ore) Can Float End Tools Can float (not affected by gravity) Similar to netherite in strength End Armor Can float (not affected by gravity) Similar to netherite in strength New Effects: Stunning Can freeze victim in place Potion of Stunning Cold Resistance Can resist cold weather Potion of cold resistance New Plants: Chorus Trees Purpur Grass Chorus Flowers End Lilies Found in End Lakes Can be used to craft potions of cold resistance. Also: Endermen can now pick up Nylium, Soul Sand, and Soul Soil, as well as the new End Soil, Packed Nitrogen, Chorus Flowers, Purpur Grass, and End Lillies.
Mentioning the twilight forest mod gave me nostalgic chills i heaven't felt in a long long time. To this day one of the best mods to have ever existed.
The outer end islands sort of feel like an out of bounds area in a way, not as much because there actually are things there for you to find, but a little. I like that a lot, honestly.
I'm totally obsessed with all the ideas in this video. The idea of them keeping or enhancing the alien feel or the desolation of the end dimension is so exciting to me but I fear that they have been heading away from that direction for a while now. I want the end biomes and structures to be genuinely impossible to comprehend, with almost like a cosmic horror element to it. The idea of a new armor set that doesn't one-up netherite but is instead a branching path is also something that would do so much for the endgame, almost like picking between Mending and Infinity on a bow. I really hope we see something like this one day, great video
Not gonna lie, I love the vibe of this video, both professional and informal. Really good ideas for the end, and it's made me think about making a mod!
If you like the end vibe, you should try out the underground mod. In it, you feel relatively safe, exploring, finding new ores, and then suddenly this big monster comes out of nowhere and starts slapping you around and it’s terrifying and it’s fun
One thing that drives me crazy is when people discuss and end update they want to cram this dimension full of crap! I'm so glad your ideas kept the original idea of the dimension in mind. The end is a wasteland floating in the void and keeping the waste land concept not only makes arriving at an end city rewarding but keeps the empty feeling. I hope for some weird exotic end stuff comes but spread out across the end. Your ideas were wonderful! A shulker helmet is in order!
ive always wanted to see the Far-Lands again, and i think it would be perfect for The End. I can see a update coming soon because everyone keeps asking for it
This just came to my mind, but I think armor sets that improve different "classes" for the endgame would be awesome. Like you could have an armor set that buffed the damage of bows/crossbows but didn't have as much defense this would be your ranger class, then like a new set that buffed the attack speed of axes or buffed the cooldown on shields as well as providing more defense this being your tank class, I think it would be interesting as it would change the progression of the game. You could even provide different variants of all the armor that we currently have to provide different bonuses creating new progression. Maybe this would be a little too far out of minecrafts traditional style though.
I really liked your suggestion of more verticality in the end. I've not heard that suggestion before and it is very fitting for the end. It matches with the elytra and the shulkers mechanics. I think sourcing ideas from the twilight forest is also a good suggestion that mod has few interesting vertical dungeons and utility items like magic beans, the uncrafting table and the dark tower devices (vanishing blocks and Reappearing Blocks that become ethereal when activated or builders that extend) would fit the alien tech vibe. I also think the Aether mod has a lot to offer an end update: ridable and passive flying mobs (like the moa or aerwhale) would fit the theme well. The cloud blocks which break your fall or project you up might also fit. It is worth saying that although those mods are good sources of inspiration it would not be good to just copy what is there. We want those mods to still exist and have value on their own but also for the end to have its unique feel. I think more ways to travel around the end is important, the teleporters or bridging are not good enough options before the elytra or if you lose your elytra.
a cool addition idea I have ontop of this would be a form of anomalous liquid found in the end one that acts like water but instead of hurting the enderman, it hurts the player it would be a cool explanation to how the obsidian pillars were built
When you mentioned end cities, I got a really dope idea. I feel like canonically to me, the end is the overworld but towards the end of time. I think there should be a biome simply called the Memory Range which is just a clusterfuck of ancient ruins making up the terrain of the biome with all very different architectural styles, towering spires, maze like corridors, stairs that go to nowhere, bridges that criss cross and intersect like hanging vines in a jungle. Between these ruins, ender-men and strange constructs wander the ruins, you see faceless ghosts watching you and roaming around aimlessly.
I think it would be cool to really make the end feel like an alien planet. I’m imagining huge geological formations, rare ores that can’t be found anywhere else, maybe even oceans filled with some foreign liquid that can be bottled and brewed into potions. I also agree with what you said about verticality. I think making all the islands on the same plane is a big missed opportunity for adventuring that can only be done with an elytra. Great video!
I said the exact same thing about there being an end update with an alternative armor upgrade to Netherite. Force players to make meaningful choices between two good options!
Also, a thing to consider is the end being loaded, like on a server I play in u have to travel at least 50k blocks diagonally, so a lotta ppl won’t see it, I like the way moving introduced deepslate, letting it be loaded into existing world
I really like your approach at an End Update. It needs to stay mostly empty and alien feeling. The strange vibes need to stay. I think having Enderite (or my name idea, Enderium) being a sidegrade of Netherite is a great idea. They will have the same damage, durability, defense, etc, but their unique properties will be different. Netherite doesn’t get destroyed by fire/lava. So instead, Enderium could be immune to explosions. Netherite armour has knockback resistance. So instead, Enderium armour could reduce ender pearl and kinetic energy (elytra) damage. I feel like the tools need something too, so Enderium tools could have less durability and less enchantment luck than Netherite tools, but have faster mining/attack speeds. Now for the End itself, I do think it should have biomes, but I don’t think there should be anything like grass or foliage. The End feels very dead, so having that kind of life doesn’t make too much sense to me. We can definitely have a rare few plants/crops or even trees, but they should be spread out and without much ground vegetation. For structures, there should be quite a few different ones, but they should all be very rare. This adds to the excitement of exploring the End, as every time you go there you may have a different experience by finding a different rare structure. Some of these structures could have a similar mechanic to the vaults from the Trial Chamber, where everyone in a world can get loot individually from one another. My final idea, which you mentioned, is having the End islands at various heights. Although the End is all separate floating islands, it feels very flat, as they are all at the same Y level. I think every single island that spawns should be at a random height, and some rarer, more special islands could spawn really high up, making them hard to reach without an elytra. I really hope you all like my ideas. The Enderium thing feels like a great and fun balance to me, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks for reading.
Hello ,TheGeekFactor I really enjoy your content and have ideas for the end dimension, that being the end islands variations inspired by real life islands: -Small Ilets(coral islands irl) The common small islands floating wide open in the void sometimes surrounding larger islands -End Stone Islands(limestone islands irl) Uncommon medium size islands that are found sometimes with small islets around it and may rarely contain ores. -Volcanic islands(mostly the extinct kind) The rare large island containing many important ores for surviving the end and sometimes a sort of oasis biome that rarely spawns -Continental islands The hardest and rarest to find, surrounded by smaller islands from top to bottom, containing many important ores, the lushest biome(oasis of some sort) is where it is usually found and most mobs are found here with structures as well.
I think a great idea for new structures in the end would be some sort of floating structure way up near the build limit, encouraging players to look way up in the sky and risk staring endermen in the face, any maybe another structure buried in the end islands, only really discoverable by peering over the edge of islands and staring down into the deadly void to get a glimpse of an unnatural formation hanging below.
I really like the idea of the armour sets branching off, with netherite and the end version having different buffs, like how betherite doesn’t burn in lava, the end version could have its own buff, like as you mentioned, reduced E pearl damage, other stuff could be used too, like maybe a built in feather falling, but this was a good idea, good job :D
I really like the music of the end, how they are distorted versions of the overworld music, really makes me feel like the End is like a glitch or something
I like the idea of the end being populated with 'barren' biomes, similar to the Savanah and Badlands. No new wood types, or at least trees. But perhaps instead of a naturally generated tree, we can find saplings in chests (as though migrant brought them over for wood, but couldn't find soil to grow it. And there could be rare structures of large circular shallow pools surrounded by end bricks with a single water source block flowing outwards, as though its the only water source for miles around. Around these you would have the only other vegetation, scraggly purple, lavender, or white weeds. High above, you could have flying islands composed of 'End Sand', another gravity affected block that will resume its descent the moment you break the weeds that grow above. Perhaps these floating islands could have a rare, albeit valuable resource, End Crystal, that grows from End Clusters (like Amethyst).
the problem with most end update ideas is they essentially just copy-paste what the nether update added but put some end filter on it. this video actually presents good and unique ideas for an end update, and i thank you for it
This is the only good criticism video on minecraft that isnt screaming about the busier bees update or not having 10 new dimensions and bosses. You also understand the core way minecraft and the end in general is supposed to be played, how its supposed to feel. Good video!
My dream with this smithing table was to every armor variation has different stats. So you could literally have a ton of different options, depending on what you want. Not just as a cosmetic, but as a viable variation. Like building a set on a RPG
I totally agree with the verticality thing and even think maybe they could take advantage of the increased world depth in the overworld in the end as they could have so much verticality through that. Can you imagine being on an island that's high up in the sky and then accidentally falling, but instead of falling into the void like you'd expect, you land on another island that was so far down, you couldn't even see it before? That would be awesome!
I think adding what look like human/player made ruins of things like drill sites, factories, etc would be cool as a sort of visual way of showing that you cant destroy or take advantage of the end without it striking back at you
I like the idea of having "obsidian geode structures" every now and then. If you crack it open, you might find useful crystals on the inside or, if you're unlucky, the geode is already home for some hostile creatures that don't like to be disturbed. Mimic chest philosophy.
Great video! I absolutely agree with the alien and foreign and somewhat unwelcome feelings you get playing in the end. Even the music is a drawn-out somewhat twisted version of Overworld music. Those would be great design emphases for an End update. I’m a smaller content creator as well so it’s great to see good work getting noticed and seeing you grow, keep it up man!
I think the end should have kind pf a mystical magical like vibe. Something that seems almost enchanted, but also eerie at the same time, like maybe you feel alone there, or that just something seems off, but you can't quite figure out what. I think that they should also make actual end crystals. Not like the ones used to heal the ender dragon, but actual crystal formations, maybe even some of different colors. Those are just some of my ideas for what the end should look like though.
I would love to hear your thoughts on a potential end update! I’d love to hear your wacky ideas! Perhaps you think another dimension should be added! Perhaps they should finally do the quality of life update! I wanna hear it all!
I think a new armor set would be too much and adding to much content past the ender dragon would be bad. Maybe a new biome and/or structure, mabye a piece of armor similar to the turtle shell or a new weapon but nothing else. The End is called The End for a reason its not just called that for ambience, no its literally the end.
@@jander2684 I mean, it's the end cause it's the third and final dimension, doesn't mean it can't/shouldn't have more going on. It's remained unchanged for so long and now that not only the nether but also overworld are both son fleshed out it's super underwhelming as an end-game exploration to just be flying between the same flat islands with nothing but chorus trees, endermen and the occasional end city. I agree that armour may be a bit much but a few extra biomes and unique unusual looking items with special use cases like the turtle shell would be really cool - maybe even a shulker-boss guarding it (or you get the materials required to craft it from them)
Upside down buildings on the other side of those islands? Maybe new creatures that live upside down? Maybe buidlings that pop in and out of existence? I dont think they should put in armor but instead new weapons for pvp.I always thought that they could just put in more utility weapons instead of letting players use stuff like rods or water.
Like a huge fan that u use to push back entities, or a grapling hook or a Kunai rope dart like scoprion. An artifact that you would hold and fire would damage it instead of you.
One Idea I have is a new rare ender eye that can be put on shields, that allows you to hold one mob by sneaking while shielding from a few blocks away, this would let you transport mobs or kill them by chucking them into the void. I bet you could kill someone by let a warden out. I have few other wacky ideas for the end .
I hope they maintain the "deadness" of the End. Focusing on the foreign terrain generation instead of adding the equivalent of a new wood set is what I'm picturing.
Yeah, as much as the better end mod looks fascinating, it's basically the opposite direction of where I want an official end update to go.
Facts. Like literally the whole theme of the place is emptyness with the void and everything
The Nether was also barren, and that was the point. But would you ever want to go back to that?
@@calvinjohnson6242 End is supposed to be barren, it is literally called the end. If you play through minecraft and find yourself searching for an elytra, the end feels incredibly eerie when you are far away from anything but nameless islands and endermen. The nether is supposed to be chaotic, so the empty feeling didn't fit is as much. Hope this helps
@@forrestgorby7980 The word “End” doesn’t necessarily imply a barren wasteland. Though I agree the eerie sense of loneliness the End inspires is good, I don’t ever go there unless I want an elytra because it’s boring. More gameplay value needs to be added. That’s the truth.
If the End got more challenges, plants, biomes, and mobs… it would be better. We would go there more often. We would have more fun there. It would be a more involved experience and feel like a part of the game.
I don’t get a feeling of “barren alien wasteland” from the End. I get the immersion breaking feeling of playing in an unfinished area of the game. An incomplete prototype that was added years ago and doesn’t live up to the game that exists today.
I feel like if there ever is a end ore, it should be used to upgrade tools that typically can’t be upgraded, such as the bow, crossbow, shield, elytra, trident, and so on.
Edit: Damn when did I get so many likes +.+
Good idea. Especially since Netherite fills the role of standard stuff. Adds progression but makes it fair for the devs place.
the issue with this though is that the bow, trident, and crossbow already have enchantments that generally escalates as players transition from iron to diamond to netherite. the shield and elytra also are good enough on their own, their only enchantments, unbreaking mending and the curses, don’t affect how they function much.
If they add another tier of armor and tools they also need more challenges to use them on. Netherite already feels like an op endgame item at its stage of the game even though you can get it before the ender dragon. The end update in my opinion should come after mojang adds some level of challenge and difficulty to the game.
FLETCHING TABLE!!!!
Considering how much of the end is warped or even partially inverted overworld concepts, I'll do you one better by saying that this material shouldn't be an ore but rather something organic. Like the fruit-like core of some gigantic, ancient seeming and bizarre organism, potentially one feeding off the void in some way.
Would be really cool to have an upgrade path that doesn't make a thing harder and stronger in the standard material sense, but rather makes it function in a more dynamically powerful way with a look that makes it seem conceivably alive. Symbiotically enhanced rather than simply reinforced.
Make a crossbow into a harpoon launcher or giving a bow multiple charge stages, that sort of stuff.
The End in my mind captures the exact opposite of claustrophobia. It's just barren, open, and empty. If new biomes are added, I hope they maintain that feeling.
Agoraphobia:)
Yea they could keep on theme. Instead of random natural generation of the overworld, just add more rings further out with 1000 blocks of void in between each one.
@@conyjuul2099not really
@@Sh3wbs Its not like exactly the same. But its similar. Its more complex than jsut plain agoraphobia though
@@ricochet4674 yeah i agree
Im happy that other people seem to also think that a potential ender set of armour and tools should be a sidegrade rather than an upgrade to netherite.
Agree it make sense like netherite is native for the Nether it's should be good at only in the nether
Every set of gear should have it own used beside adding more armor like how they did with leather boots
Reminded me of how Terraria handled it’s progression for armour lol, Enderite and Netherite should be on par with each other
I feel that unique Items that can be used in addition to netherite would be good, because netherite is hard to get and already strong enough. That being said, I think that any new additions should have there own use so people don't just ignore them and use netherite instead.
tbh i alrd ignore netherite armour and just use diamond armour in pvp cuz the kb helps me more than them (untill u get a more sweaty player but even then its easier to combo someone in neth rather than diamond)@@legobrainbikergaming7422
Make the armor the same but their effect different, netherite doesn't burn in lava but it doesn't really make sense for end armour not to. Maybe give end armor a cooldown ability to teleport/levitate? Not sure what addition you could make while keeping on par with netherite but there's definitely something.
I think it would be cool if netherite armor was design for a tankier build, with higher damage reduction and knockback negation, and end armor for an "assasin" build, with lower armor value but movement speed bonus
Tools should be similar, netherite ones being considerably more durable, while end ones being slightly faster
I like this idea, maybe an “enderite” pick could even instamine deepslate but the durability would give people the choice of Varied use/higher frequency vs Specific use/lower frequency
I think it would be cool to also add on the end armor and weapons that if you die in the void with them, they spawn back with you. Not any dying, specifically just from falling into the void. Netherite gear can't be destroyed by the nethers biggest environmental hazard, lava; so likewise i think Enderite gear should also not be destroyed by the ends biggest environmental hazard, the void.
This reminds me too much of terraria…
It would be cool if you upgrade gold armour/tools to get enderite armour/tools
This is a good idea but it should be expanded into a combat update of sorts, the armors shouldn’t directly better then any other set, like leather is still useful with powdered snow, gold is the fastest tools, netherite should be a decision, if you want to be a melee brawler go ahead but if you want to be an archer go with gold which can now boost your speed and adding ‘enderium’ makes you faster, jump boost, and maybe slow falling if you shift. But it’s durably is lower than maybe even diamond.
I would love love love to see more alien-like biomes in the end, particularly biomes that focus on alien plant-life. I think it would be super cool to find end cities with weird unnatural and impressive greenhouses displaying the strange plants that grow in their dimension, perhaps they could be used for some type of potion or ability, but honestly I'd be cool with just having more plants. I think focusing on natural alien fauna would really suit the vibe you discuss in the video
I would live to see any biomes in the end. There are 2 and one is called Void
@@housebywill1715WHATS THE OTJER ONE?????
@@menowantlive9549He’s saying the other biome is literally just the void the islands are floating in.
i would love to see song baren biome; perhaps dead plants or abandoned end-huts. also maybe some sort of pristine forest almost completely untouched. maybe even signs of mining and/or experiments with livestock in the end or the goop from crying obsidian, etc...
these would be great additions in my opinion
last second edit: we could plant corus fruit in the overword for some weird sort of tree
The end is supposed to be a desolate wasteland, a broken world perhaps corrupted by the ender dragon. If we make it filled with life and vibrant alien ecosystems then that wouldn’t feel right, you can have ecosystems and plants, but they should have a sense of emptiness, corruption, unnatural feel to them, the end should feel like an oppressive void where everything has been consumed by a corruption, what looks like what could have been vibrant jungles is now empty besides for some unnatural trees even to this realm and mobs that make no sense in such an ecosystem. The end should feel like, the end; a world corrupted so heavily by the dragon that that’s all that there is left, corruption.
Great video! Just To name a few ideas:
1) New alien looking plants (Nettle Bulds, mussroot banks etc)
2) New Biomes that must keep the end looking eerie
3) A new liquid like water but purple coloured & toxic for players to stand in
3) New hostile mobs that match the enderman theme
4) New structures like purple looking crystal shrines or giant chains holding some islands together
5) A Cave system within the floating islands that contain a strange new ore & other features
7) New dark particle effects added to the landscape
8) A new race of villagers called the faceless ones that you can trade with
9) Add strange whispers as a sound effect in the background
10) Just like weather in the overworld, I would add a sort of geomagnetic storm with purple lighting strikes that happen randomly, maybe even purple acid rain that will damage players unless they seek cover
I'm full of ideas, but I think I've wasted enough time brainstorming for one comment 😂
Hey jeracraft, i Hope you are doing well! I like what you propose, i would like this features added but only if they stay authentic to Minecraft, its very important
On the 8th one you just described backrooms facelings, kind of, i dunno.
How about a black water, called the Abyssal Fluid?
It could slowly drag you under, before teleporting you deep into the void.
@@DrakusLuthos cool idea
@@DrakusLuthosi kind of like that better, it’s more mysterious and different from anything we’ve seen
The problem with an end update is that the eerie feeling of nothingness is the true experience of the end. You have to somehow preserve that.
Since netherite protects you against the main threat of the nether, end upgrades should maybe protect you against the void. By letting you teleport back 5 seconds or the last safe place. Or maybe if you die, the things teleport to you (instant or if you are close by) so you dont lose them. Or give you something end themed, like short Levitation or teleporting straight down to avoid fall damage.
One way of making things eerily empty despite there being a lot more to it would be if the lively nature was inherently tough to access for the player. Flip the idea of the overworld and just make the easily traversable parts as barren as the underground while making the underside a voidborne ecosystem, hostile to conventional means of traversal.
In that way, void countering end gear would actually have a similar effect to netherite in the nether, letting you feel more at home because you are better guarded against its greatest danger.
Ender pearls teleport you, so it would fit the end theme to have your end-upgraded items teleport to safety somehow.
I feel like Elytra is the thing that protects you against the End.
I think the idea of more vertically placed islands fits really great here, maybe those new biomes dont need to be lush but more something like a type of desert or mountain. I think when it comes to new end biomes subnauticas biomes can be a really great inspiration for a desolate and alien feel
maybe upon death, end upgrades could return to your ender chest. that seems like a good alternative to the teleporting idea without feeling like it's just a soft "/gamerule keepInventory true".
I love how much thought went into this. I agree with all your points. I've gotten tired of "end villagers" and "end forests" when people talk about an end update. Looking forward to seeing more of this.
Yea the Overworld is all about trees and the Nether is mostly fungi related so we don't need either of those in the End thats just more of the same. What ever they add should be more ethereal and an aspect not overly represented in the other two dimensions.
Bean stalks with the end aesthetic would fit pretty well, Or tree-like foliage that are very tall that curve around in unnatural ways, or
I do feel like giving the end SOME life to flourish in the end is pretty great. You see I like to lean more on the idea of "Exploring the mysterious land where you don't belong where nothing makes sense" critters with other worldly abilities like umping 15 blocks tall or smth and they looks like bugs.
A cool idea is to make peaceful mobs look like large purple insects or something that could fit as a deep sea creature.
Yea I agreee. Id love to see some more flora but id prefer if it was in the same vein as chorus fruit. Not really anything identifiable and completely alien.
@@L3thalBones
Overworld: Trees
Nether: Fungi
End: Chorus
If you're going to add new biomes to the end, the WORST thing you can do is pull from stuff found in conventional nature. No giant mushrooms or weird trees. That immediately robs the End of its alien feel.
I'd also keep any new biomes as sparse as what we currently have, using the same limited colour pallets and only sporting a few features each. Since the End is intended to be traversed using Elytra, you can spread everything out in a way that makes it all feel isolated while still ensuring there's plenty to see.
I'd especially focus on weird geological formations that are fun to fly through. Like identical pillars of obsidian topped with hoops of shiny black glass, or geometric chasms crisscrossed by skinny bridges of purple stone. For new flora, I'd keep it as weird and un-plant-like as the chorus plants, while also ensuring only one type of plant spawns in each biome to keep that barren sensation that's vital to the End's loneliness.
For structures, I'd use MC Escher as inspiration. Upside-down monuments clinging to the underside of islands, cathedrals full of zig-zagging staircases that go sideways or bend back on themselves, and clusters of little floating temples comprised almost entirely of columns. I'd populate these places with only a few artificial-feeling guardians, akin to the Shulker. Off the top of my head, a mob with reversed gravity that walks on the ceiling of these temples sounds very fun.
Nothing immediately recognizable as anything you already know - Like how chorus plants don't actually look like any plant. Buildings with stairs and hallways in odd directions, branching out in ways that don't make sense to traverse by normal means.
I don't know that sparseness in particular in necessary, so much as unfamiliarity - I think even dense forests could work, just not of trees. Terraria Calamity Mod's astral infection has a vibe that I think would work great - purplish black monoliths instead of trees, with glowing orange and blue spots. Dark, synth-heavy music, minimal natural light. Beautiful, but strange and unfamiliar. I do like the idea of relatively minimal biomes - High variety, but not lots of different things in the same place. Very minimal color schemes. There can be several colors, but everything has the same set of colors in each place.
The thing with the nether is that it kept its theme very good. Hellscape, fungal plant life, swine animal life, wasteland but still diverse and unique. I hope if mojang ever makes an end update they keep the theme of a barren wasteland but still make it unique to the nether and over world.
😮nullscape
The new End being designed to be traversed with an elytra is a really good idea that could be easily missed in an actual update
The only other think I’d say could work would be warped fungus, having a warped fungus biome would tie it to the nether slightly while still keeping the alien feel of the end
As much as verticality would make sense from a gameplay perspective, if you want to feel alone & alienated this will directly impede that goal. The ability to just have an uninterrupted gaze into the void is hugely important in this regard.
I think it would still work if there was verticality, but still large gaps between islands.
I completely agree
3 biomes I think would be perfect for the end:
Obsidian/newblock spires:
A massive voidspace filled with large end platforms stemming off of giant prisms floating in the sky at various angles almost like those mushrooms you can fine. for a reason to go there, the spires could be one of the places you find the new ore, and the block they're made out of could get brick varients.
Inverted Forest
taking advantage of the new verticality of the end, a moss grows on the underside of this biome's platforms, and there are notably "tall" trees hanging from the bottom with leaves that spread out like jungle tree leaves as platforms for you to be able to stand on.
the endermoss should have a particle drip like lava to imply that these trees collect dripping minerals from the island.
Ancient Dragon grounds
Large bone skulls can be found across a land with notably rough terrain. That plus either more chorus or a new bamboo type plant make it clear this biome is meant to be explored in the sky. in this biome you can find a structure called the dragon's nest. It's made of obsidian and crying obsidian, and contains a shulker box with some end themed loot, and a dragon egg will spawn nearby in the weeds of the biome.
I think that structures that imply dragons *used* to be in the lands would be great, but im not a structure idea guy
An Inverted forest would be a good idea
Inverted Forest - There could be another food source found in the Inverted forest that messes with the gravity the player experiences. The player could consume a berry or root of some sort and then the player can walk on the underside of the main platform where the biome is hanging or inverted from. There could be a time limit that the player would have to watch. If the new root is farmed in the Overworld it would poison plants in a certain radius. That would limit its use.
Another biome which could retain the end's openess should just be clusters of bushels that are purple that spread on for literal chunks or miles, while keeping diversity, they still are wide and expansive, you could fit long-limbed mobs here which are extremely tall that feed on these small bushes on the ground with a possible new fruit for potions.
Underrated
Great ideas, though I think making the plant-life "Trees", "weeds", or "bamboo" is a failure to respect the alienness that this video is asking for.
For one, the first thing they should work on if anything in the end is the dragon fight as well as the dragon model which are both heavily outdated and while I do agree the end should have more structures and blocks what a lot of people don’t get is the end isn’t supposed to have a lot of vibrant colors so it really should stay at least mostly purple and yellow
End dragon is way too iconic and should stay
@@joea7590 the fight itself is fine it just needs a remaster
Having the dragon be capable of actually landing and moving along the ground would be a great starting point, maybe even make it have a second phase where it gets grounded and goes for telegraphed melee attacks.
The End should be more accessible and interesting to players who focus on building rather than combat. It seems like a killing field and I wouldn't mind more interactions with the biome and the Endermen. This is an unpopular opinion but I only play Minecraft for the interactivity and creativity of the biomes. Once my little base/kingdom is established I connect with other Villages and the combat gets old.
@@finnkuudere3516 To that end, a means of establishing a spawn point or at least a permanent fast travel point (via a teleporter hub multi block structure for example) inside the end is a must. Currently the outer end is just an unsustainable base location because if you ever die out there, you always start back at the center island, no checkpoints.
I wanna see some otherworldly or totally alien structures in the End. The sort of thing to have no knowable explanation and give items with no purpose to the player, so that it leaves people perplexed and feeling like they've actually been somewhere foreign.
that idea is not bad stylistically, but gameplay wise that would not give any more tangle reasons to go to the end. it would just be interesting the first time you encounter it, but they ned to also add some real progression related upgrades that give you a better reason to explore
@@helpsloan Of course, but I'm just saying that this would add heavily to atmosphere. The End doesn't need incentive anywaysz
While minecraft dungeons is a completely different kind of game, I've found that aesthetics-wise the artists/map makers for it deserve a *lot* of respect, and frankly much of what they've done should be utilized in minecraft proper. Particularly in regards to The End. Unfortunately, recordings and screenshots don't really do a good job of properly conveying the feel of the place.
I also love your observation that fundamentally, The End should be safe for wandering/idling, only becoming a thread when disturbed.
“Safe unless the player interrupts the world” is a really good concept if they were to pull of that it would really feel like a place with some deep lore
I like the idea of the end being divided up by it's distance from the center island, perhaps the verticality of the islands get more extremes and the gravity becomes weaker the further out you go
If they do add some type of end villager I would want it to be extremely rare. Like keep the majority of the end the same but add some type of oasis biome where there is a strange abundance of plants and where end villages can be found. I think if the biome was as rare as say a mushroom island, then the end as a whole would still feel just as lonely. If not lonlier from the villagers perspective as they're the only life for thousands upon thousands of blocks.
I kind of dont hope that happens, but if it must, I like the idea that you simply cant trade. Theres no communication involved. They avoid you, and run when you are near. They fear what they do not understand. Perhaps they sometimes drop items for you, maybe when you complete tasks that are implied but not told. Something different to piglins, at least.
@@fgvcosmic6752 It would make sense if they start liking you if you carry around a dragon's head, or you can only trade using dragon's breath. I'd love to see them make use of the the hatred towards the dragon who enslaved and corrupted everyone.
@@fgvcosmic6752 "I like the idea that you simply cant trade. Theres no communication involved. They avoid you, and run when you are near. They fear what they do not understand.

Maybe the player can discover a ruin or small monument nearby like a desert well that has glyphs that imply instructions as to the need for pacifism and unknown tasks the player can complete. The inhabitants could be a cross between Endermen and Villagers or even smaller Endermen that have separated from the main Endermen group.
Honestly it would be funny if they just added traveling merchant spawns to The End instead of new villagers and villages. Just give him End related items to trade. Maybe replace his llamas with some new floating mounts for the end.
I know exactly the vibe you're talking about; isolated, like you're a foreigner, almost like if you didn't interact with the Endermen they wouldn't even recognize your presence. It feels like you are an invader in someone else's dream.
If Mojang can make an End update that both preserves that feeling, while also making it fun and interesting to explore, that would be quite the feat!
I like your discussion of verticality, that definitely seems like a missing aspect from the End. Another aspect that is peculiarly absent from the End is both mining and crafting, but I feel as though this exclusion may be deliberate, and adds to the feeling of the End being alien.
It would be awesome if all the new mobs added weren't hostile to you unless certain conditions were met that bugged them similar to endermen. Maybe you could have a stationary plant-like mob that only attacks if you get too close, or a mob that tries to break stuff that it sees you build. The dynamics between the players and these mobs would be so interesting.
I think something that resembles the western air temple from Avatar TLA would fit really well.
Like upsidedown structures that dangle on the bottom of a floating island.
I am so glad your content is finally getting the recognition it deserves, I cannot wait to see where your channel goes!
yes but he is a menace with the lefthanded option turned on
I really like what you've said here and what people have said in the comments, but I'd like to add one thing on to what you said about end villagers etc. When I think of the end, the two words I think of are sparse and desolate. I think desolate is especially a key defining trait of the end, and it falls in with the hostility and alien points you made. I don't think that the sparseness as it is right now is a good thing; having to travel literally 3000 blocks to find an end city, only for it to not have an elytra is super frustrating. I'd love the sparseness be taken in regards to the terrain; there's little foliage or only occasional trees, making it feel more empty despite the vast number of additions and new blocks.
Perhaps the elytra can be reworked a little bit, as the current design also shuts down minecarts and makes multiplayer servers feel a little worse, but that's more me wishing.
Personally, I think The End _needs_ to have a sort of barren and lifeless feel... Its called "The End," so it makes sense for emptiness to be the theme. They need to revamp The End in a way where it _looks_ visually stunning while giving that same alien, lonely, and empty feeling. Not empty as in lacking content, but empty as in devoid of life. I don't want them to do a repeat of the Nether Update, where they just add a ton of new plants and stuff. For the Nether it works because it feels alive in an unnatural and creepy way, but the End should have only sparse plant life in very specific biomes, like with the Chorus Fruit. I wouldn't mind if they had a rare Chorus Tree to get purple wood or something though, but they would have to do it _just right_ in order to fit the vibe.
Hello Garret
This has got to be one of my favourite video essays.
The intro sequence is so good (the music you composed sounds like a blend between brian eno's music for airports and C418s volume alpha). Throughout the whole video, the chosen music & footage along with your relaxed though introspective demeanor really immerses one into the sort of mystical foreign mood that is the end.
The analogy comparison to the nether's transformation is a good way to put it; instead of it being hostile as the nether is, it is to be foreign and surreal as it is the end. Though I think along with it being foreign and surreal, it is also mystical, and so, not only should their be alien remenants & elusive mobs, though there should also be elusive villages occupied by those who are native to the end (similar to 'little elves deep in the magical forest' mood).
Im so glad your channel came into my recommended (its cool to be present to a channel blowing up as yours seems to be as this comment is written).
Thank you for the wonderful comment! I AM SO HAPPY that people are enjoying the intro sequence. I wrote that song almost a year ago and haven't had a use for it until this video. Your comment has made my day!
3:38 just for the intro, i hope mojang watches videos like these. it shows how updates affect us, what details we notice and what we love from an update and they could take some notes
Call me dated, but I like the desolation and emptiness of the end, in a weird way. I know that it does need an overhaul and new stuff, but I guess I’ve grown kind of attached to it.
Like the most I would want would be some kind of oasis that you can find rarely with new plants or structures, but I strangely like it as it is.
Like you said it feels like we, as the player, do not belong there and that it is weirdly soothing there. I don’t want it to loose that quality.
What if the end was lively, but that part of it was near impossible to comfortably explore? I'm thinking in the direction of flipping the overworld concept and making the surface fairly barren with some differences in the almost always lifeless arrangement of terrain while making the underside harbor a void based ecosystem. Fascinating, but extremely treacherous terrain for the intruding player not to mention that its existence would not be immediately obvious.
The end has a Limbo like quality to it
That's lame😂
An End update is what I've been waiting and wishing for to happen for years now. In my hardcore world ever since I've gotten an elytra I never really went back and explored more of the islands. Because there isn't rly much to explore aside from a few extra elytras. Plus I just hope one day they do make an End update, thus I wouldn't need to go that far away from the main island to find new stuff
Something like the distortion world from Pokemon Platinum could be really cool. Maybe blocks that can change gravity? But other than that, Purple and White Trees would be cool. Maybe Lavender Trees, and Husk Trees? Maybe a Black Tree type too, like Voided Oak? The end needs an update, but it needs to be done right
Effectively all new trees needs to be in-line with Dyes. Purple Heart easily fits that bill.
@@risa1467 Yeah it would be a Purple Tree, but like name wise, like how it's the Warped, Dark Oak, etc
I had three ideas for an end update:
1) the armor/ore/enchantments gotta be a different path than the overworld and the nether
2) The yellow thing inside the shulker could be that ‘alien’ and it infests all the new mobs or is that thing that makes them move. Add a purple/blue/red End Golem that has different abilities
3) Add a castle at the end of time. It’s where the golems could patrol and could give the theme that someone tried to conquer the end… but ultimately it was a trap as they could never leave without slaying the dragon
Oh, the alien thing makes me think of how zoglins and piglins behave in the overworld. Maybe certain mobs could be corrupted, ender-versions of themselves if you tried to transport them to the end ?
Bro- you nailed it. Any time i discuss an End update with anyone, i ALWAYS stress that it needs to keep the barren, alien vibe. It's the most important thing, and honestly I'd rather have no End update than one that ruins that vibe.
Super sweet vid! I love the idea of verticality and it inspiring exploration like how TOTK did, and I think that wold be insanely satisfying in the end! this would be a huge opportunity for Mojang to incorporate more of the lore they've been hinting at as well.
The end is your ultimate blank canvas for your Minecraft world. This is the realm in which you are the creator of. Your mind is the idea of the end. Just look at all the amazing examples of this in your video. And against the backdrop of the void, breathtaking. Here is the place where we get to truly create.
You're definitely right about adding verticality in the end for the elytra. I think another thing to pair with that would be a launch pad block that flings you in whatever direction you want to go, up, forward or to the side. Would give a bit less finite version of fireworks while being balanced since it has to be placed to work. Plus it'd add some really nice options for the rest of the game.
I guess aswell they could add an item that functions like an automated water bucket fall save, but with how OP that is it should probably be difficult to make and one time use like the totem.
Both of these things are also super on theme for the end with the shulkers levitation. Though I'd prefer it if it was a new enemy type that is a lot more focused on levitation so shulkers don't get like 7 different uses. Maybe a levitation crystal that you'd get from a difficult enemy type that can be "bottled" in shulkers shells.
Oh and after all this time, a use for the dragon egg would be a really nice touch.
Sure you probably shouldn't be allowed to raise your own dragon (don't care still want it) but maybe you could add in a giant nest structure where a dragon that was the mate of the og stays with the rest of the eggs. He could serve as a harder dragon fight but if during the fight you place the egg in the arena it would turn him passive.
(I've forgotten if you can get the egg multiple times, so if you can't then just make it so the egg spawns everytime you beat the respawned dragon. Though I assume that's already there.)
Oh actually yeah that'd be the best of both. Have him function like a tamed creature and let you fly around on him to keep that verticality theme, but keep him exclusive to the end. That way it doesn't change the meta for the rest of the game, just the new additions.
I like the idea of diversifying upgrades.
You could pick between netherite, endersteel, or deepsculk armor upgrades
deepsculk would come from the deep dimension
also, biome names could be "choir forest", "void belt", "great basin", and "ender feilds"
On the note of the 3 upgrades, each set should have its own perks
Obviously, Netherite already has protection against being burnt in lava, so maybe give fire resistance and wither resistance, too?
Then, the end upgrade would give protection against the void (maybe a keepinv effect or a chorus effect if you are too far from solid ground and falling, whether after a shulker moved you up too high, or whether you fell into the void) and teleport you when a projectile hits you, similar to how endermen teleport away
Finally, sculk makes you invisible to wardens no matter the noise, protects against their attacks, and perhaps, with the way how sculk is in the underground, negates more/all fall damage
Bro I havent left a comment on UA-cam in a WHILE, but this had to have one.
The commentary, way you speak, calmness in your presentation, perspective in your position as well as the possible positions of others, the footage, everything?? AMAZING. Until you’d mentioned it towards the end I had no idea this video had the views or you had the subs you did. Keep it up man, only up from here 💜
This was probably the best minecraft video I've watched in years. I was expecting this to just be background noise for digging my massive hole in minecraft, but the way you edit is so good. Keep up the good work :)
*The editing*
*The style*
*The voice-over*
give this man an oscar!
An Oscar Meyer weiner. I’ll take an eight pack. Preferably the ones filled with jalapeño jeez. They’re usually like 3 dollars at Walmart. Just mail me some when you can. Totally serious. This isn’t a joke.
Ideas:
-New Ore: Enderite can be mined and applied to Diamond Gear. If you fall into the void, the upgraded gear will rise up and float at a certain height above the void. If you die in any other way, you drop it like normal. If the item falls in the void, however, it will rise up and float. In order to apply it to gear, you'll need an Enderite Template which spawns in End City chests. The ore can be found in the Dread Lands biome.
-New Item:
1) Totem of Keeping: Dropped rarely by Lost, this Totem will allow you to keep your inventory upon death. Consuming the Totem.
2) Shulk Shield: Using an Enderite Template, you can apply a Shulk Shell to a shield to increase its durability and protectiveness.
-New Resource: Dragon Scales: 1-2 Scales are dropped by the End Dragon. You can apply it to an Elytra along with a Dragon Template, which increases its durability and lets you boost faster and further with Dragons Breath. You need to find the template in a new dungeon. Once applied, the Elytra now appears much like the wings of the Ender Dragon.
-New Biomes:
1) Chorus Forest: New tree and wood type, has a purple color.
2) Dread Lands: Dark grey moss grows on the end stone. New Mob spawns here. You can find End City Ruins and Crashed End Ships. This is also the only biome where Enderite generates.
3) End Plains: Islands are covered in spots of purple grass with Chorus plants growing. End City's spawn more often in this biome. Essentially the vanilla biome, just with some added life.
4) Inverted Roots: The top if the island is bare, except for roots which sprout up like trees. New dark grey/black wood type. Underneath you can find the trees themselves as well as a light purple grass. Essentially an upside down forest. In order to grow the trees yourself, you must plant them on the bottom of a block.
-New Mobs:
1) Lost: Primarily found on the Dread Islands. Unlike Endermen, you need to look at it in order to keep it passive. If it spots you and becomes hostile, it will attack you unless you're looking at it. If you maintain eye contact for too long, though, it will teleport away. Potentially even out of sight. It acts as a guardian of the rare resources found in the ruins. Not much health and dont deal much damage, but managing large enough groups is difficult. They act as a Guardian of Enderite.
2) Shulk: Found in Inverted Root biomes, they are a source of meat in the End. They drop Shulk Muscle, which can be cooked in a furnace. They're much like larger Shulkers. Their shells can also be used to craft a stronger shield.
-New Liquid: Ether: Ether spawns in pools on the bottom of Inverted Roots biome islands. Unlike other liquids, this one flows up. Which can sometimes create upward waterfalls. Potentially a way to reach higher islands without Elytra if a waterfall is close enough to one or if players place a bucket.
-New Structure:
1) End Castle: A large inverted Castle that spawns on the bottom of any island. This is where you find the Dragon Template in order to craft Dragon Elytra. Lost and Endermen guard this biome.
2) Traders Depot: A single structure that appears much like a shop. Item frames can spawn with some rarer items that are usually sold by wandering traders, as well as a pen for llamas. It can spawn in any biome. Guarantied to spawn a Wandering Trader.
3) Ruins: Ruins of End City's and Crashed End Ships that spawn in the Dread Lands. Rare resources can be found here and are much easier to get.
Another End update would include new End biomes (inspired/based on MC Dungeons & mods), expanded End Cities, new End/non-End mobs (from MC Dungeons like the End mobs, MC Legends like updated Chickens or MC Earth & the Gray Tabby Cat from the Bedrock Edition), new End blocks, new End tools/weapons (includes the unused Purple Arrow), a broken Nether Portal in the End Dimension, new misc items & a new combat system.
I think a smithing template that allows the elytra to be combined with any chestplate would be really cool. Maybe also add the same function to the turtle helmet where you can combine it with any other helmet with the smithing template
An end ore can be like an ore for ranged weapons like bow and arrows that'd be kinda cool. Like you have to add the smelted ore to your bow to give it better upgrades / bow abilities separate from enchants.
Not to mention that if you shoot it, your arrows would teleport right back to you or they could cause you to teleport away from danger.
As far as keeping the end feeling empty, nullscape mod rules. Though you would want to have more rewards for exploration, and I really liked the idea of the end gen being almost like an elytra parcour, similar to 3d perlin noise. That would allow to spread out the things to find, give that wasteland feeling, while keeping gameplay up.
What I'd love to see in the end would be some sort of gravitational stuff. That's there'd be no clear direction like up and down anymore. Pokémon Platinum made an attempt once with the addition of the distortion world and I loved that feeling. That combined with the elytra would be mind blowing and would fit the theme of ender men, shulkers, and even the ender dragon perfectly imo.
Wow. Your channel started growing FAST! Can't wait for the future :)
My suggestion is for mojang to somehow alter the gravity in the end, make it weaker or stronger in specific biomes, fully reverse it in one. Each biome's design would match its gravity
Expected a video asking for another nether update completely deterring from what The End is supposed to be, got a video that gave some very good suggestions and explained exactly what an end update should be!
One thing I would do different however is while I would give the biomes an alien vibe as you said, I wouldn’t make them purple or some obnoxious color. They should still feel natural to the eye, it should remind you of something, while feeling totally foreign at the same time.
I’d also try to make The End still feel a little empty, don’t just clutter the islands with these biomes like if it’s some playground for the player. It’s still meant to feel like “The End” of Minecraft after all.
That's a fair point, because a lot of mods does make the end turn into a vomit of colors.
However, the End on an already unnatural color scheme: Purple, Magenta, Black, and Chartreuse(Endstone). I'd already imagine in my idea that we will have something equivalent to Crimson (Magenta) & Warped (Cyan) for two plank colors we don't have, and would be hard to fit anywhere else natural : Purple & Lime.
Yellow seems to be occupied by Bamboo, and I'll accept that as a substitute for, "Yellow Planks."
Purple - Purple Heart Forest - Endermen marooned natural overworld saplings, and somehow got crossbred with Chorus plants to adapt to a realm lacking soil & water. Again, Crimson occupy Magenta, so it will be strictly in-line with purple dye blocks.
Lime - Zen Forest - Completely native alien environment within large swaths of Ender Islands. Azealua Trees would need to be turned into its own wood set, occupying strictly easy-on-eyes mossy green. Mojang knows how to develop textures for Lime, in a way that it doesn't kill your eyes.
Zen Forest Biomes will have oozing grays, browns, and asteroid fragment boulders within the surface. This way, blistering lime green does not stabs your eyes, only when you expose Zen Tree logs & turn them into wood products. It's not going to appeal to everyone, but we've been slowly getting, "Dyed Woodplanks," in the form of new trees.
Perhaps even a new liquid type called Goop, which doesn't like Water & Lava, but will poison you for being non-native to the End. A whole tech's worth of liquid that can be customized for, "Potion Water," and have biome dependent colorization for Custom Biomes.
I would create the voidlands massive areas of nothing to the point you can’t even see the other islands with highest of render distances
I love how you focused on the feel of the end rather than just dumping content.
here before it goes viral
I am here too!!! :D
We should gate-keep this
Me also
yes
bro will do anything for some amount of recognition
minecraft updates are usually always aimed towards the technical side. if we could get something as useful as the newer shulker system out of the end, it would bring almost a whole new half of minecraft to play
Maybe some type of alien type lemon plant that when eaten could work like sus stew, but with 3 types of lemon each with a good and bad effect, either both at once like turtle master, or one or the other like a gamble, Aldo make the effects either last longer or slightly more powerful
You can tell when a video has a lot of work behind it, the intro, thumbnail and ideas or arguments that this video has are amazing and very well thought. I love video essays like this, and I hope to see a lot more on the future, and that is why I’m subscribing to you. Well done man.
I think the end should still keep a similar vibe, just with some added variety like a some flora and fauna, maybe have some of the airships be crashed and ruined
You made a great point about the End being an alien realm that does not follow any kind of normal Overworld logic. I remember watching videos about potential exotic alien life forms, like silicon-based life form. We already had the Endermen, which is allergic to water, the ingredients for life for no reason, the shulker, which hide in floating box, shoots levitation bullets, and both of them rely on teleportation to get around. May be we could expand on this idea, mobs in the End would not follow any conventional rule, the would have strange crystal-like bodies, relies on teleportation and flight to move around the desolate and dsiconnected landscape of The End, now updated to introduce much more verticality.
I would love if they kept the lifeless desolate feeling of the end by not adding any plant-life. I think the overworld and nether are the life-inhabiting dimensions while the end is supposed to be barren. A datapack called nullscape executes this very well and it also adds verticality to the end, something that is very interesting to navigate and very fun to fly through.
I think it'd be really interesting if they added upside-down stuff to the underside of the floating islands, perhaps even with upside-down mobs. Imagine exploring an upside-down cathedral housing upside-down guardians?
i recently started trying the better end mod and my god... it is beautiful, i was gonna use it with the better nether and terralith but there ended up being just way too much to do so i kept it at better end and so far its been glorious
I would love if they made it more like space (I've always imagined the end as outer space) so like adding ice and crystal biomes that would fit this vibe would be so cool. I love the idea of verticality and being even more expansive but keeping that eerie dead feeling. I want this dimension to feel alien and other worldly. Loved the video and keep it up!
I've always thought the end should be more like Xen from Half-Life, perhaps resembling the Black Mesa version we received. It shouldn't be an exact replica, but it should capture the same themes and feelings. Xen, with its strange, otherworldly vibe between galaxies, in my opinion, really suits the Minecraft End-a place that feels alien yet serves a purpose, if that makes sense.
Lmao the ending was funny, felt like I was having a slightly awkward but funny convo with a friend, good video
they should add a "Research lab" it would a lot to the lore of Minecraft showing that there used to be people here studying the end and making new inventions to survive, but then they accidentally made a potion that infected them and turned them into Endermen
I have played a datapack that adds more end biomes and I will say, the verticality, or lack there of is a key factor in the vibe. At least for me. Layering of islands vertically gives a sense of mystery, while the current end feels lonely and foreign. The mystery isn't bad, but I do think it would throw the vibe off a bit.
P.S. The datapack I played is called Nullscape. I do think it fits the end's vibe better than the datapack you showed in the video. If you want to check it out, I highly recommend it.
My idea for a structure they could add to the End are broken bridges. These end stone and purpur bridges would be stretching from one outer end island to another but would be broken in the center to show that it hasn’t been used in a long time.
imma have to watch that
no idea why its on my main page but all for it
unfortunetly its during work hours 😢
2 "biome" I had in mind were the gravity island and teleporting lands. The gravity islands would be a series of small islands that would have their own gravity field that when you come in range, you would start to fall sideways or upside down, and on the islands you could find gravity gems to make new items. For the teleporting lands, there would be blocks that blend into their surroundings, and when you step on them, you randomly get teleported to another one of the blocks, and you can mine to make new traps that teleport people where you set up other blocks.

Mentioning the twilight forest mod gave me nostalgic chills i heaven't felt in a long long time. To this day one of the best mods to have ever existed.
The outer end islands sort of feel like an out of bounds area in a way, not as much because there actually are things there for you to find, but a little. I like that a lot, honestly.
I'm totally obsessed with all the ideas in this video. The idea of them keeping or enhancing the alien feel or the desolation of the end dimension is so exciting to me but I fear that they have been heading away from that direction for a while now. I want the end biomes and structures to be genuinely impossible to comprehend, with almost like a cosmic horror element to it. The idea of a new armor set that doesn't one-up netherite but is instead a branching path is also something that would do so much for the endgame, almost like picking between Mending and Infinity on a bow. I really hope we see something like this one day, great video
Not gonna lie, I love the vibe of this video, both professional and informal. Really good ideas for the end, and it's made me think about making a mod!
The twilight forrest comparison is bang on, well said
You can thank my girlfriend for that one. I sent her my script to edit and she was the one who came up with the twilight forest comparison.
If you like the end vibe, you should try out the underground mod.
In it, you feel relatively safe, exploring, finding new ores, and then suddenly this big monster comes out of nowhere and starts slapping you around and it’s terrifying and it’s fun
One thing that drives me crazy is when people discuss and end update they want to cram this dimension full of crap! I'm so glad your ideas kept the original idea of the dimension in mind. The end is a wasteland floating in the void and keeping the waste land concept not only makes arriving at an end city rewarding but keeps the empty feeling. I hope for some weird exotic end stuff comes but spread out across the end. Your ideas were wonderful! A shulker helmet is in order!
ive always wanted to see the Far-Lands again, and i think it would be perfect for The End. I can see a update coming soon because everyone keeps asking for it
This just came to my mind, but I think armor sets that improve different "classes" for the endgame would be awesome. Like you could have an armor set that buffed the damage of bows/crossbows but didn't have as much defense this would be your ranger class, then like a new set that buffed the attack speed of axes or buffed the cooldown on shields as well as providing more defense this being your tank class, I think it would be interesting as it would change the progression of the game. You could even provide different variants of all the armor that we currently have to provide different bonuses creating new progression. Maybe this would be a little too far out of minecrafts traditional style though.
I really liked your suggestion of more verticality in the end. I've not heard that suggestion before and it is very fitting for the end. It matches with the elytra and the shulkers mechanics. I think sourcing ideas from the twilight forest is also a good suggestion that mod has few interesting vertical dungeons and utility items like magic beans, the uncrafting table and the dark tower devices (vanishing blocks and Reappearing Blocks that become ethereal when activated or builders that extend) would fit the alien tech vibe.
I also think the Aether mod has a lot to offer an end update: ridable and passive flying mobs (like the moa or aerwhale) would fit the theme well. The cloud blocks which break your fall or project you up might also fit.
It is worth saying that although those mods are good sources of inspiration it would not be good to just copy what is there. We want those mods to still exist and have value on their own but also for the end to have its unique feel. I think more ways to travel around the end is important, the teleporters or bridging are not good enough options before the elytra or if you lose your elytra.
a cool addition idea I have ontop of this would be a form of anomalous liquid found in the end
one that acts like water but instead of hurting the enderman, it hurts the player
it would be a cool explanation to how the obsidian pillars were built
When you mentioned end cities, I got a really dope idea. I feel like canonically to me, the end is the overworld but towards the end of time. I think there should be a biome simply called the Memory Range which is just a clusterfuck of ancient ruins making up the terrain of the biome with all very different architectural styles, towering spires, maze like corridors, stairs that go to nowhere, bridges that criss cross and intersect like hanging vines in a jungle. Between these ruins, ender-men and strange constructs wander the ruins, you see faceless ghosts watching you and roaming around aimlessly.
I think it would be cool to really make the end feel like an alien planet. I’m imagining huge geological formations, rare ores that can’t be found anywhere else, maybe even oceans filled with some foreign liquid that can be bottled and brewed into potions. I also agree with what you said about verticality. I think making all the islands on the same plane is a big missed opportunity for adventuring that can only be done with an elytra. Great video!
I said the exact same thing about there being an end update with an alternative armor upgrade to Netherite. Force players to make meaningful choices between two good options!
Also, a thing to consider is the end being loaded, like on a server I play in u have to travel at least 50k blocks diagonally, so a lotta ppl won’t see it, I like the way moving introduced deepslate, letting it be loaded into existing world
Minecraft dungeons did the end perfectly imo. If they do it in vanilla like they did in dungeons, I will be happy. Very good video btw.
I really like your approach at an End Update. It needs to stay mostly empty and alien feeling. The strange vibes need to stay.
I think having Enderite (or my name idea, Enderium) being a sidegrade of Netherite is a great idea. They will have the same damage, durability, defense, etc, but their unique properties will be different.
Netherite doesn’t get destroyed by fire/lava. So instead, Enderium could be immune to explosions.
Netherite armour has knockback resistance. So instead, Enderium armour could reduce ender pearl and kinetic energy (elytra) damage.
I feel like the tools need something too, so Enderium tools could have less durability and less enchantment luck than Netherite tools, but have faster mining/attack speeds.
Now for the End itself, I do think it should have biomes, but I don’t think there should be anything like grass or foliage. The End feels very dead, so having that kind of life doesn’t make too much sense to me. We can definitely have a rare few plants/crops or even trees, but they should be spread out and without much ground vegetation.
For structures, there should be quite a few different ones, but they should all be very rare. This adds to the excitement of exploring the End, as every time you go there you may have a different experience by finding a different rare structure. Some of these structures could have a similar mechanic to the vaults from the Trial Chamber, where everyone in a world can get loot individually from one another.
My final idea, which you mentioned, is having the End islands at various heights. Although the End is all separate floating islands, it feels very flat, as they are all at the same Y level. I think every single island that spawns should be at a random height, and some rarer, more special islands could spawn really high up, making them hard to reach without an elytra.
I really hope you all like my ideas. The Enderium thing feels like a great and fun balance to me, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks for reading.
Hello ,TheGeekFactor I really enjoy your content and have ideas for the end dimension, that being the end islands variations inspired by real life islands:
-Small Ilets(coral islands irl)
The common small islands floating wide open in the void sometimes surrounding larger islands
-End Stone Islands(limestone islands irl)
Uncommon medium size islands that are found sometimes with small islets around it and may rarely contain ores.
-Volcanic islands(mostly the extinct kind)
The rare large island containing many important ores for surviving the end and sometimes a sort of oasis biome that rarely spawns
-Continental islands
The hardest and rarest to find, surrounded by smaller islands from top to bottom, containing many important ores, the lushest biome(oasis of some sort) is where it is usually found and most mobs are found here with structures as well.
I really think they need more light blocks if anything. Neon, different colors, just anything aesthetically pleasing in a building.
I think a great idea for new structures in the end would be some sort of floating structure way up near the build limit, encouraging players to look way up in the sky and risk staring endermen in the face, any maybe another structure buried in the end islands, only really discoverable by peering over the edge of islands and staring down into the deadly void to get a glimpse of an unnatural formation hanging below.
I really like the idea of the armour sets branching off, with netherite and the end version having different buffs, like how betherite doesn’t burn in lava, the end version could have its own buff, like as you mentioned, reduced E pearl damage, other stuff could be used too, like maybe a built in feather falling, but this was a good idea, good job :D
I really like the music of the end, how they are distorted versions of the overworld music, really makes me feel like the End is like a glitch or something
I like the idea of the end being populated with 'barren' biomes, similar to the Savanah and Badlands. No new wood types, or at least trees. But perhaps instead of a naturally generated tree, we can find saplings in chests (as though migrant brought them over for wood, but couldn't find soil to grow it. And there could be rare structures of large circular shallow pools surrounded by end bricks with a single water source block flowing outwards, as though its the only water source for miles around. Around these you would have the only other vegetation, scraggly purple, lavender, or white weeds.
High above, you could have flying islands composed of 'End Sand', another gravity affected block that will resume its descent the moment you break the weeds that grow above. Perhaps these floating islands could have a rare, albeit valuable resource, End Crystal, that grows from End Clusters (like Amethyst).
That thumbnail made me feel sooo nostalgic man. Thank you for the video!
the problem with most end update ideas is they essentially just copy-paste what the nether update added but put some end filter on it. this video actually presents good and unique ideas for an end update, and i thank you for it
This is the only good criticism video on minecraft that isnt screaming about the busier bees update or not having 10 new dimensions and bosses. You also understand the core way minecraft and the end in general is supposed to be played, how its supposed to feel. Good video!
They should change the gravity in the end, to somewhat explain the floating islands/ships/etc.
My dream with this smithing table was to every armor variation has different stats. So you could literally have a ton of different options, depending on what you want. Not just as a cosmetic, but as a viable variation. Like building a set on a RPG
ive never seen it pointed out that the end feels safe but that’s such a good point
I totally agree with the verticality thing and even think maybe they could take advantage of the increased world depth in the overworld in the end as they could have so much verticality through that. Can you imagine being on an island that's high up in the sky and then accidentally falling, but instead of falling into the void like you'd expect, you land on another island that was so far down, you couldn't even see it before? That would be awesome!
I think adding what look like human/player made ruins of things like drill sites, factories, etc would be cool as a sort of visual way of showing that you cant destroy or take advantage of the end without it striking back at you
I like the idea of having "obsidian geode structures" every now and then. If you crack it open, you might find useful crystals on the inside or, if you're unlucky, the geode is already home for some hostile creatures that don't like to be disturbed. Mimic chest philosophy.
Great video! I absolutely agree with the alien and foreign and somewhat unwelcome feelings you get playing in the end. Even the music is a drawn-out somewhat twisted version of Overworld music. Those would be great design emphases for an End update.
I’m a smaller content creator as well so it’s great to see good work getting noticed and seeing you grow, keep it up man!
I think the end should have kind pf a mystical magical like vibe. Something that seems almost enchanted, but also eerie at the same time, like maybe you feel alone there, or that just something seems off, but you can't quite figure out what. I think that they should also make actual end crystals. Not like the ones used to heal the ender dragon, but actual crystal formations, maybe even some of different colors. Those are just some of my ideas for what the end should look like though.
