About Better End

BetterEnd expands and refreshes The End by adding new biomes and enhancing existing ones. Each biome has its own atmosphere, resources, and mobs. The mod also includes custom music, sounds, and effects to make exploration feel alive and interesting.

BetterEnd includes a custom End world generator and custom Central Island structures. With the new generator, End islands can have different shapes, terrain, and heights. Inside islands you can find caves with unique resources.

Features

• 24+ new biomes (more may be added later)
• 6 new mobs (with biome variations for some of them)
• Many new blocks, including 9 wood types and 7 new stone types
• Many new items, including new food sources, tools, armor, and weapons
• New mechanics like Infusion Rituals, Anvil Recipes, End tool progression, and others
• Integrations with other mods (example: 2 new sub-biomes for BYG biomes in 1.16 and some new plants for them)
• Custom End world generator (configurable) with more possibilities than vanilla
• Configs for blocks, items, mobs, enchants, and many other things
