About this mod

BetterEnd adds new biomes into the End. Each biome has its own atmosphere, resources and mobs. The sky will have a fresh look with purple nebulas and stars. All biomes have custom music (by Firel), sounds and effects to make them alive and interesting to explore. BetterEnd has a custom End generator and custom structures for the Central Island. With our new generator End islands will have different shapes, terrain, will be on different height. Inside islands you can find caves with unique resources.

Main Features

24+ new biomes (more will 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

Integrations with other mods, for example 2 new sub-biomes for BYG biomes (1.16) and some new plants for them
Custom End world generator (configurable) with more possibilities than vanilla one
