About this project
What does The Next Generation add?
The Next Generation
This mod makes the following changes to the End Dimension:
Recreates end islands throughout the End dimension, about 4000 blocks apart.
- Extra islands have an equal chance of generating as
end_mainland,end_mainland_mossy, orend_mainland_lava. The island at (0,0) is alwaysend_mainland. - Mossy Mainlands generate with mossy end stone as the primary block rather than end stone.
- Lava Mainlands generate with clustered magma end stone covering about half of the island.
- Extra islands have an equal chance of generating as
Adds new blocks:
Mossy End StoneandMagma End Stone.- Magma end stone deals damage to players consistent with the magma block. Sneaking on it avoids this damage.
Adds new dragon variants:
Mossy Ender DragonandLava Ender Dragon.- The mossy variant summons vexes as its attack.
- The lava variant maintains the dragon breath ability while also shooting fireballs.
