About this project
What does Maik's Expansion add?
In this mod eyes of ender have a new recipe. First you need to find the Ancient Book that brings the recipe for the Echo Resonator, wich can be obtained in the Ancient City Ice Box, Mansions and in a new structure: the Shelter.

Shelters can be found in snowy plains and, as vanilla igloos, they hide a secret under the carpets.

There you will find a new workbench: the Altar Base, wich has to be activated with a Nether Star becoming the Offering Altar. This bench is also crafteable, so you don't have to find this structure to obtain it. There's also an ender chest in the room, remember that you won't be able to craft eyes of ender yet, so if I where you I would take it with Silk Touch.
In the chest you will find the Ancient Book. It gives you a recipe wich requires Ender Dust (a new drop for the Endermites), Echo Shard and Amethyst Shard. It's not posible to craft in the crafting table, you will need the Offering Altar, wich requires also a Bottle O' Enchanting and the Ancient book.
Now you have the Echo Resonator. When right clicking on a block it adds glowing effect to every living entity including yourself, but that's not the purpose of this item, because it is the ingiter for the Ancient City's Portal.

Welcome to the Dark Abyss, the dimension under the End corrupted by sculk. Here you will find four new biomes: the Garden of Remembrance, the Path of Souls, the Chamomile Forest and the Celestial Lands. There are three different mobs and many structures with unique loot in this dimension, but the most important one is the Skyscraper.

In this new dungeon you might find the Ancient Book wich brings you the new recipe for the Eye of Ender, wich has to be made in the Offering Altar too. Beating Minecraft with this mod brings a lot more time, but it has a reason. Now you have more time for preparing yourself to deal with an stronger Ender Dragon. Now it's your time to discover what more does this mod have for you.
