What a cute little guy oh with Minecraft live out of the way everyone is still asking for an end update so I figured while we wait for Mojang why not make an End update myself let’s start by fixing the ends monotony cuz right now everything’s just purple Look at the nether for example it features a multitude of colors including ones that you wouldn’t expect to find in the nether like cyan and the Warped Forest so how much of a stretch would it be to bring new colors to the end I mentioned like green orange more purple Let’s start with the first biome we’ve worked on being the 10 Dunes I wanted to have an ecosystem resembling something like the Crimson Forest in which mobs pre on each other and I also wanted to give it an overarching theme we initially tried theming the biome mechanics around stealth and caves but This theme didn’t really stick and we just ended up with a bunch of disconnected ideas that didn’t go anywhere so we went back to the drawing board we took the idea of caves and thought about giving players a new way to excavate them what’s a great way to Excavate explosions of course so why not give the biome an explosive theme we began to brainstorm how explosions could be present in our biome maybe a new creeper variant H never mind we scrap that how about okay okay hear me out kinetic energy imagine a block that Builds up energy as it falls and releases it all at once in one big explosion on impact with the ground that’s the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard oh yeah we also covered the entire surface of the biome with this block now we can build the rest of the biome on Top of this literally starting with an alien plant that extracts nutrients from the sand giving their spores explosive properties let’s start with the most obvious part about it being its blocks we have charge stems and Sport charge stems but this block is what interests me they’re the frails of the charge tree Which generate nice little particles these frails also work as a point of interest for the mobs found in this biome encouraging interactions between the predators and prey who would want to go here for the plant spores this little guy’s name is the Salvo we originally called them charge poles as they charge From the charge tree spores and for their tadpull likee appearance however we’ve had way too many things with the name charge in their name already and South Salvo is a much more fitting name given their self-defense mechanism wait so what does Salvo mean hold up let me Check the dictionary there I found it a simultaneous discharge of artillery artillery why the hell would you name this guy for something you’d hear about an A War documentary what a cute little guy and if you somehow manage to survive the Salvo self-defense attack it also gives You a new potion effect which turns you into a literal living ticking Time Bomb if you don’t act fast this effect also makes you faster so if you’re feeling risky you can stack it with speed to get getting back to the Salvo as long as you don’t aggravate them they could be a Very useful mob they have a unique breeding mechanic as they hatch their newborn on their back and aside from looking adorable itself the babies of the salvos can also be bucketed allowing you to easily transport them back to your base so you can f them for a new Item charge Sports can be sheared off the backs of salvos and walking over it transfers your eruptive effect to the block this also turns them into a land mine so make sure sure to step off or else yeah aside from blowing you up when stepped on the sport can be bone meal Allowing you to grow charge trees anywhere you want charge spores also have a linking property that ignites any other explosive block next to it including other charge spores allowing you to create Fuses for your grand explosions now this biome might seem scary already but don’t worry it gets worse meet the salvo’s the Soko they’re an ambush Predator which means that you should probably keep an eye out nearby charge trees which is their favorite hiding spot where they wait for unsuspecting Salos To draw near they do so by burying themselves underneath the tennium sand and jump out when anyone gets near enough locking their prey between their jaws on top of their deadly attack sokos are also nearly immune to explosions so good luck to any Salvo trying to fight These guys if you do manage to kill a Soko you get two different items the first one being their meat I wanted to do something unique with the Soko chops instead of making it a simple food source so I took the opportunity to show the fact that these mobs and plants Found in the tennium dunes have adapted to their environment and the Soko is a great example of that Soko chops are better eaten raw rather than cooked as the meat becomes hard and Rocky when exposed to high heat just like the rocky skin on the front of the Soko it does That because sokos have evolved to grow really hard skin in order to survive the salvo’s explosive self-defense attack I still wanted to make hard and Soko chops useful so even though they’re not really nutritious they apply a new effect that is INSP ired by the soko’s knockback resistance the sturdiness effect is very Useful in the end given that the entire Dimension has a void that you really do not want to be knocked into by any means so there’s definitely an incentive to have a few of these on you at all times getting back to the soko’s loot they Also drop their skuts which can be used to craft a brand new explosive weapon wait wait wait so let me get this straight we’re making a biome with trench like formations tank like mobs landmines and explosive weapons Lux I’m not sure we’re making a Minecraft biome I think we’re just recreating World War I don’t say that word you’ll attract Dian Su what you mean World War I are you guys talking about World War I did you know the modern grenade was invented a few years before the first world war you know we should add grenades noonu were Not Lux no don’t even think I think a lot of people have suggested adding grenades in one way or another to Minecraft but let’s be honest Mojang would never add something like that I’m not Mojang so here’s the Spore shell they’re a new projectile weapon that bounces off of surfaces and blows up When it hits entities which allows you to pull off some insane plays with enough skill under your belt not only that they apply the eruptive effect on impact as well you can also shoot them from a crossbow allowing you to Triple the amount of violence you can commit by Using multi-shock okay enough explosives let’s talk building blocks aside from tenum this biome also has a new rock type called belstone unlike normal blocks belstone can withstand just about any explosion you throw at it but there’s a catch as it can only protect against one explosion before it crumbles Into a new block type called crumbling belt Stone this block is one of my favorites because it solves one of the most annoying problems in the end Dimension let me ask you a question have you ever played on a server with friends where everyone hasn’t obtained the Elytra yet cuz I have and 99% of the time players resort to getting between end Islands by building these ugly one block thin Bridges usually made out of cobblestone or wood planks and not only are they an iore but they are also really annoying to get rid of this is Where crumbling belt Stone comes in unlike its normal counterpart it can be broken very fast so if you run out of bridging materials this can save a lot of time compared to mining endstone crumbling belt stone is also affected by grav but it takes 3 seconds for them to Actually fall allowing you to bridge across end Islands without leaving any Trace you might have noticed by now that I really like adding in blocks with new behaviors like tennium sand blowing up when falling a certain amount of time or crumbling belt Zone having a delayed fall and that’s because we want to Encourage players to try to mess around with them and discover new possibilities in the game design world we call this emerging gameplay it refers to when simple behaviors can come together and form complex systems just like Redstone and the next block we’re adding is perfectly described by this due to the Amount of unique interactions it has let’s push the theme of explosives to a new level by adding a TNT variant tum as the name suggests is made out of tenium sand instead of the normal kind and it works very differently from normal TNT when lit TN tenium will only blow up Once it hits the floor just like tenum sand allowing you to almost instantly blow it up by lighting It On The Ground if you do light it up from a height though you might notice that the blast radius gets a tad bit bigger that’s because the longer it Falls the more powerful it gets just with these two behaviors you can probably already imagine what kind of world leaders you could set up using T anium but that’s not all there’s a third behavior that it holds which is inspired by TNT jumping in Old multiplayer game modes like SkyWars tanium has increased Knockback and together with her instant explosion on impact it allows you to easily TNT jump around and that’s about it for the tum newes but don’t worry we have lots of other features planned for the future now as for how you can download this mod I am planning to Release this mod publicly eventually but it’s far from finished and I’ll be honest I don’t want to do deal right now with all the curse Forge comments of kids begging me to fix some obscure bug that only happens to their defective 2007 HP laptop but I’ll make an Exception for some of you if you want to support me on Kofi basically patreon but better one of the perks you get is Early Access to this mod plus other ones like bual which is the mod that I use in my last video not only that you also get Other perks for being a supporter like sneak peeks for things I’m working on and a supporter only chat in our Discord server if all that sounds cool to you I’ve left a link for my Kofi page both in the description of

I take a lot of inspiration from SimplySarc’s visual storytelling and doctor4t’s Modded Minecraft Content SMP videos. This video is probably catered more towards Systemzee’s and Knarfy’s audiences though.
