YUNG's Better End Island first beta release! (1.19.2)
🕑 Added 2023-07-21 17:11:32 +0000 UTC
This is a mod that overhauls the main End Island where the dragon fight takes place.
Obsidian pillars, End gateways, the spawn platform, and the portal itself in the middle of the island have all been redesigned. Additionally, the dragon no longer spawns from the start - instead, it will be summoned once a player gets close to the bell tower in the center.
To resummon the dragon, the 4 crystals no longer go right next to the portal. Instead, you'll see 4 bedrock blocks on the floor inside the tower, one in each directional wing of the building. The crystals can be placed on these 4 blocks to start summoning the dragon again. That being said, we do actually still support vanilla crystal summoning positions, to avoid confusing players who aren't familiar with the mod.
The dragon's AI itself is unchanged.
This mod has been tested and should be compatible with Better End, Nullscape, Ender Trigon, and Savage Ender Fight. But bugs do happen, so please back up your world before trying anything.
Mod Compatibility Notes
Better End:
- Since the island is smaller than in vanilla, obsidian spikes will spawn closer to the center
- If any spikes are missing or you have any other issues with generation, try using the /end_island reset command while in the End (see below)
Progressive Bosses:
- Extra cage placement may be a little scuffed, but works
- /end_island reset command may not properly reset fight history/progress on Progressive Bosses' side of things. Avoid using if possible.
Endergetic Expansion:
- End Gateways in the Outer End will be from EE instead of BEI. Everything should still work properly though.
Using BEI on Existing Worlds
We've provided the /end_island reset command. Using this command while in the End will attempt to reset the dragon fight back to its initial state and replace any previous portal/pillars with our redesigned versions. But once again, this command attempts some major things behind the scenes, so please back up your world before trying!
And I think that's everything. We're actively looking to iterate and improve this mod, so please let us know your feedback in the discord. Enjoy!
Comments
Ah yeah, I realized that after posting lol. I'm working on another command that will erase only vanilla pillars. You should also be able to delete the region files in the center of the end, without deleting the rest of the end, to remove the vanilla end island so you can regenerate it. Haven't tested it myself though
using the /end_island reset command only partially erased the original pillars on my server world. But otherwise, it looks amazing. I will try erasing the entire end dimension and see how it should look when properly spawned. :)
