DON’T Explore Your End In Minecraft (You’ll Regret It)

These are the end islands in my long-term survival world you’ll notice however that i very deliberately not explored them with anything but my eyes saved for this very narrow stretch that i have going about 6 000 blocks this way but i very deliberately explored my end

In a way that minimized the number of chunks loaded and i really recommend that you do the same sure you need to get your hands on an elytra and a shulker box and maybe some diamond stuff from the entities too but after that point i really recommend that you stop

Exploring and here are the three obvious reasons why one is the fact that obviously you don’t need to i mean you do need more chorus fruit i would say you definitely don’t by the way hello my bx toy cat and i don’t think chorus fruit is a good enough reason to explore

Your end the second is the fact that every single new chunk you add if i fly here right now just for this point i’ve loaded up a whole new chunk in my world that adds 0.05 megabytes to the wall size which doesn’t sound too bad till you explore another and another and

Another dozen and you start to really rack up your file size this isn’t a big deal if you’re playing on pc and you have a big hard drive size uh but if you’re playing the better condition including by the way minecraft for windows um then the more file size you

Add to your world is going to mean longer load times but also it’s going to be more unstable worlds the bigger and bigger your world gets the more likely something is to break it’s happened to me once at a thousand megabytes and it can happen much much more depending on

How big your world size gets so really be cautious of exploring unnecessary chunks just for the fun of it i mean is there even any fun to be had as i mentioned in point one no there’s not but the third point is perhaps the most important because i do believe there is

Going to be some form of update that will make you feel silly for exploring your chunks and only finding these right now what do i mean by that well thank you for asking minecraft will 100 receive an end update and by that i’m not trying to say i have

Predictive powers i just mean that of course at some point they’re going to come back and update the end even if it’s five years from now or 10 years from now but i don’t imagine it will be anywhere near that long i think we’ll be seeing an end update much sooner than

That but we will see an end update at some point guaranteed and as we’ve seen with previous updates which changed the terrain which we’ve seen quite a few off they’ve changed the oceans they’ve changed the swamps they’ve even changed for the most fair one-to-one comparison

The never and let me show you what the never looks like if you’d already explored a lot of it like i’ll be honest i totally had by the way we’ve heard something really interesting from developers about what will happen in the future but right now and indeed in the

Past what would happen is you’d explore your nether as it existed at the time so in in the case of my never it was just all never wastes as you’d call it by today’s uh standards it’s just all never and never never i’m quite lucky because

I i loaded this up in the console never where there was two biomes oh there was a whole soul sand thing with never what’s going on but it was just never never rack and soul sand and that was the entirety of my never it went on like

This for oh my god they came from the sky but it went on like this for literally hundreds of blocks and because i kept exploring it i think i was looking for never quartz or i was just mining up some soul sand but i kept on exploring my end making these lovely uh

Bridges through it and it meant that i have so much of my never which is kind of bland by modern standards i mean what should i never look like well it should look like what it does in my uh never where i actually find new chunks where oh

What’s that we got these these red forests where they’ve we’ve actually got trees and lights and new mobs that produce things oh that’s exciting oh there’s soul sand valleys okay that’s terrible we can ignore those but we have basalt deltas and bastions and it’s just incredible how much better the nether is

Now in the new generation however because i explored so many hundreds of blocks of this old boring generation i have to go so far to get out to this for real this bastion which contains my frogs and my magma cubes and even some piglens i used for trading to get never

Right hoe once uh this bastion is 600 blocks away from my spawn it’s so far i had to make one of these uh blue ice roads and you know the fact that blue ice works in the nether is a miracle at any point you feel like that could stop

Working it’s so hot you can’t play stand water but it’s not so hot the ice melts we don’t question it we just accept the benefits but yeah the fact that um you know the fact that i had to go 500 blocks and i had to make one of these

Pathways just because of how i planned my never is something i want to you know i i regret and it’s something i want to change when it comes to my ends so what happens if you explore your end islands right now your end will look like my

Never where to find anything that comes out in a future update you have to travel hundreds of blocks and when that future update makes the existing update look terrible again the previous never let me show you again on screen and then let me show you the current never look how beautiful this is

I actually had a second bastion not that far from this one but you know you know how it is sometimes you want to destroy these things i did it by hand it took 14 hours and you can watch the entire thing in one 14-hour youtube video which apparently caused four people to

Unsubscribe from the channel so you know if there’s any greater endorsement then this caused people to unsubscribe i don’t know uh what there is but yeah long long story short um this is a really cool part of the never and it’s a shame i have to travel so far and you

Know go through so much effort to get to it which is why for your end you’ve got three options option number one is go really extreme on the do not explore angle which is where you deliberately never go to your end you might not even want to explore a stronghold because

What’s the point if you’re not going to use that beautiful portal and so this is a very extreme way to guarantee that when any end update comes out as it might be doing somewhat soon you will be able to benefit from a full brand new dimension you could also pretend and

Benefit this way if you just delete your end in the game files but i i try to recommend the game as it’s vanilla played so your second option is just to say ah what do i care i’m just gonna explore it now and then i’ll explore anything i haven’t explored later and it

Will appear in as the new generation if the overworld updates for anything to go by where you see the weirdest things happen to woodland mansions or to other terrain as it meets the new generation um this is gonna cause some weird things to happen which i personally see as a

Positive but it’s also going to mean when that end update comes out you’re not going to know where to explore you’re just going to have to look around and hope that things come in the third option is kind of taking a reasonable middle ground and saying sure the main

End island is so iconic that uh you know it might be revamped in some way but realistically you need to kill the dragon you need uh to go get elytras and shulkers and so saying you’re going to go to your main end the one in the

Center and then you’re going to go to a couple of end cities you’re going to keep going till you find one with a ship and then that’s it you’re going to have a very clear narrowly defined radius of exploration and this strategy is basically saying i’m going to use my end

The minimum that i need to so that when there is an update it will be all around me everywhere we have seen interesting signs that hint they do want to change how it works even better to make sure that you can explore your existing worlds without feeling like you’re you

Know almost ruining something that you’re saving there’s a very interesting thing there but it’s also really interesting that on the java edition the end is actually defined as a whole bunch of different biomes did you know that i didn’t know that there is the end midlands the end highlands the end

Barons and the small end islands unless we forget the end which is incredibly creative named uh that was the original end biome which used to be the entire dimension and the other four biomes were added after 1.9 on the bedrock edition of the game the end biome was all added

At the same time and the entire dimension consists of just that one biome so i mean in reality there’s no functional differences but technically speaking there are five separate biomes on the java edition uh the end cities and the end uh gateways can only generate in the highlands in the

Midlands which basically ex explains size the barons are meant to be the edges of those main islands and the small end islands are those tiny things you see just kind of flying around like even in the intro of this video and so that that is the explanation behind end

Biomes it’s interesting that they do have biomes right now but it really feels like they don’t i could speculate forever on what they’d add in an end update i mean it wouldn’t be cool if there were oars that could be found in some of these wouldn’t it be interesting

If there were different structures or something to do with the caves where you could actually start mining through these and find anything but endless end stone although now that i’ve said it out loud endless endstone no way yeah no it’s endless right now it needs to be

Ending it has to have an end or it’s not end stone okay this is the dumbest point no i’m going to finish now uh by talking about the interesting change they might be making because their goal is to make it so you can explore your existing worlds we’ve had direct confirmation

From mojang time and time again that they want to fix this problem even going as far in the 1.18 update as making the smoothening between old chunks and new chunks better and also making it so fewer chunks would be saved previously this was done by using your your render

Distance to work out which chunks you’d seen and therefore which chunks you’d want to stay the same but after that update they made it so your simulation distance was used instead and so any chunks which had been simulated or altered in any way those would be the

Ones that would actually be saved to your file and therefore wouldn’t be changed by some future update now the goal and the future goal is to make it so even just block by block the game could work it out i mean if you’ve only been halfway into a chunk why should the

Rest be saved and so this is an interesting way of doing things another interesting idea is making it so only chunks you actually interact with ie break a block in place a block kill a mob you know something has changed about that chunk from what it would generate

From the seed only then would it save to the disc this would have the secondary benefit of making your world sizes much smaller which would then make exploration a lot better on multiple levels and i think it’s a really smart idea for minecraft i think there’s a lot

Of really smart ideas for minecraft such as you know making mining in the end worthwhile such as adding some new environments there such as maybe some extra mobs or structures but those are all things that we’re gonna have to find out when we find them out i think

Whenever they’re ready to get their teeth into a big update that’s when the end update’s coming out and we know that an end update is going to be a preface to any new dimension but those are all just fun things that i want to share

With you and i wanted to also put the psa out that yes exploring your end islands just for fun just for quirkiness is something you really shouldn’t do on a long-term survival world because long-term survival world management is really important it’s something i cover a lot on this channel and i hope that

You all enjoy this video where i showed you a bit of my world by the way if you like my world and you want to see my weird 6 000 block long end road with random signs for people who were kind benefactors of it uh then you can see

This and everything else that my let’s play has to offer it’s currently on the marketplace and it just had or is about to receive an update because i do update it every few months to add in the things that have been added here it is a free

Set of updates you get once you buy the map once you get updates forever and you can see what’s going on my let’s play world in person on any bedrock platform which i think is a really cool a little benefit on my opinion and that’s why i’m

Advertising it to you right now go buy it use your your fictional minecraft coins that obviously observate the fact that you’re using real money some of which goes to me which is why i’m telling you about it You
