5 Things I Want to See in the Minecraft End Update
Sep. 11, 20241. Overhauled Biomes
The current End dimension has five differentMinecraft biomes, but since they all feel and look the same, it’s no wonder if you didn’t know that. Because of this, it’s important that every biome has itsown personality, ambient,mobs, blocks, dangers, and perhaps rewards when Mojang decides to give it a facelift.
This also means that the central End island should be revamped, from obsidian pillars to the End portal. When you think about it, the End dimension is essentially represented as an alien-like land so the opportunities for unique areas are endless.
The most creative possibilities are perfectly captured by theBetterEnd mod, which transforms the whole dimension into a spectacular foreign world full of colors, shapes, and attractions.
As you can see above, there is a lot to see and experience in the End dimension. Essentially every biome has its own color, along with its flora elements and impressive terrain features. When you think about the End, this is definitely what you should see instead of barren End Stone islands.
Overhauled biomes also imply the addition of various new building and decorative blocks to the End. Currently, the blocks you can get in the End are oneDragon egg, end stone blocks, chorus flowers, purpur blocks, end rods, andobsidian. This is nowhere near the number of blocks that Nether provides.
Looking at the BetterEnd mod again, you get so many types of blocks that your head will start to spin (in a good way). There are new ores, materials, wood types, stone types, precious blocks,light source blocks, utility blocks, transparent blocks, plain and detailed blocks, as well as stairs, slabs, and walls for lots of available full solid blocks.
So, in the potential Minecraft End update, one trip to this dimension couldget you all sorts of different blocksfor your next fantasy kingdom build or even better an alien-inspired planet or custom biome.
Endermen and shulkers are really cool and special, but this gigantic dimension needs more mobs that’s for sure. The End dimension should be absolutely full of life of all sizes, shapes, and colors. Imagine purpleslimes, twisty quick monsters, friendly big-eyeddoggos, glowy fish, camouflaging carpet mobs,horse-like mounts, giant jellyfish, gorgeous dragonflies, and so many more creatures awaiting you in this world.
The main theme around the End mobs so far isteleporting, so I think it only makes sense that whatever is introduced to the End has an ability to teleport or be teleported.
We cannot deny thatEnd citiesareone of the best structuresin the game, because of all the diamond gear andelytra wingsthey provide us with. Though, just as they say every person needs a friend and the same goes for Minecraft structures. Similarly to mobs, Mojang could go any route with End structures and they won’t be wrong.
The developers could add avillage-like structurethat offers a place to rest and collect yourself, an underground giant spider lair with traps and quick enemies, a massivepalace structureover the void with rare loot, and various other buildings. Just like Overworld and Nether have ruins of some structures, End should too.
Maybe there was an End city ship crash or perhaps some prehistoric beings abandoned small huts andsuspicious sandand gravel inside will reveal their story. You can get so excited just by thinking about all the stuff that could be added.
The End dimension is the final destination in Minecraft’s progression and so it has all the most OP loot, including shulker shells, elytra, and the rarest item in the game – Dragon egg. What if there is even more good stuff that constantly encourages you to come back to the End? Maybe a powerful ore that offers a new precious material.
Perhaps, there is a newsmithing templatethat allows you to upgrade netherite or even an item that you can use to teleport mobs a short distance.Minecraft 1.21introduced themaceto Minecraft, but the End dimension can include its version of thevaultthat could provide a void core to make a void mace.
There can also just be epic variations of existing items, like a newmusic disc,armor trims, armor pieces, tools, and even a new type of elytra that also protects you while wearing it.
With that, those were the End update features I’d love to see one day in vanilla Minecraft. I did go overboard on some suggestions, but you can’t blame me for wanting the End update so much. So, how do you feel about this long-awaited update? Do you agree with my ideas? If your ideas differ from mine, then make sure to leave them in the comments below for everyone to see.
