End Game Enhanced

Introduction

End Game Enhanced is a mod that aims to, well, enhance the end game by adding new best in slot items for almost every slot, as well as new reasons to kill just about every aggressive Mob in the game, including the Warden. The mod adds over 200 new items to the game, ranging from new tools and weapons to new Totems and Potion Flasks as well as new uses for vanilla items like amethyst and echo shards. This will be a brief introduction but anything you want to know about this mod can be found in the Github wiki I've made, which is linked to this project. Let's get right into it by looking at some of the new best in slot items.

Inevitable items

Inevitable items are a new tier above Netherite. They aren't meant to be overpowered, but provide some powerful effects and have unique properties. There are 14 Inevitable items in total and to collect them all you'll need to go just about everywhere, kill just about everything, and do just about everything the vanilla game has to offer. Here's a look at a weapon, a tool, and a piece of armor:

Netherrath

This sword's special trait is: Nether's Flame. When in your main hand your enemies are lit on fire for 15 seconds. But if you happen to find yourself in the Nether AND you yourself are on fire, the sword will keep you on fire and provide you with Strength II and Regeneration II. How you come to be on fire in the first place is up to you.

Infernal Pickaxe

This pickaxe's special trait is: Superheated. It's able to smelt the Gold and Iron Ore that you mine straight into ingots. Silk Touch is prioritized and Fortune is still taken into account for the number of ingots you get. It can also be used as a divining rod by using it on blocks to search for ores. It's also the only tool able to mine and obtain Reinforced Deepslate.

Obsidian Chestplate

This Chestplate is part of the Inevitable Obsidian armor set which provides some powerful effects, and even more if wearing the full set. Alone this chestplate provides the Conduit power effect and if wearing the full set it gains a pair of Obsidian wings, among other effects.

How to obtain them

Inevitable items are crafted using the Smithing Table the same way you might be familiar with making Netherite gear in vanilla. So you'll need a Smithing Template, an upgrade ingredient, and your base item. The next couple of sections will explain these items a bit more, starting with the Smithing Templates.

Smithing Templates

Inevitable Smithing Templates are obtained from different loot sources all over the game and there's a unique one for every Inevitable piece of gear. The only exception being the Obsidian Armor, which all use the same Template. There are 11 Inevitable Smithing Templates in total.

Essence

Essence is made by combining blocks, mob drops, and various other items. This Essence is then combined in specific ways to make Pure Essence, which are used as the upgrade ingredient in Inevitable Smithing. There are 65 Essence in total, including Pure Essence.

Unique mob, crop, and block drops

Nearly every aggressive mob in the game has been given a unique item they drop and several crops have also been given unique drops. These unique items are used to make Essence. Most of them also have conversion recipes, so they can be turned into vanilla items. There are 30 unique mob drops, 9 unique crop drops, and 2 unique block drops.

Netherite Upgrade path

Netherite is no longer a direct upgrade from Diamond. Diamond must now be upgraded to Onyx and then to Netherite, each using a different new Smithing Template. While a Netherite ingot is of course still the ingredient for Netherite, you'll need an Onyx to upgrade from Diamond, which is one of the several new gems.

Gems

Five new Gems have been added, as well as new ways of obtaining and using existing vanilla gems by randomly obtaining them from mining ores and killing some mobs. All ores and some mobs roll a gem table when they're mined or killed and those gems can be used to craft tools, among other things. In total there are 7 Gems, including the Diamond and Emerald from vanilla. The Onyx being the most rare and valuable of them all.
