BetterEnd Forge

BetterEnd (Unofficial Forge Port) — Minecraft 1.20.1

This project is an unofficial port of BetterEnd to Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. It exists to make BetterEnd available on Forge for modern Minecraft versions. Forge only (not Fabric). Required on: both client and server. Requires: BCLib, WunderLib.

What this project does

Adds new content to The End: new biomes, blocks, items, mobs, world generation, and exploration features (see Features below). This Forge port includes Forge/1.20.1-specific bug fixes while keeping behavior as close to upstream as possible.

How this port differs from the original

• Loader/platform: Forge (upstream is Fabric)
• Minecraft version: 1.20.1
• Changes: Forge/1.20.1-specific bug fixes (see list below)
• Support: this is an unofficial port; upstream authors do not maintain it

Fixes and changes in this Forge 1.20.1 port

• Added compatibility with the TerraBlender library and mods that use it (Luminous Nether, Garden of the Dead, Biomes O' Plenty, Oh The Biomes We've Gone, etc.)
• Partial compatibility with Concurrent Chunk Management Engine (C2ME) (thanks RedCraft86)
• Only use Bark wood variant for trees (thanks RedCraft86)
• Improved music system (thanks RedCraft86)
• Fix/wall plant facing crash (thanks Maeiro and magcicada)
• [Bug] The armor durability for thallasium and terminite are not working instead its a huge number that doesnt equal what the code says it should (thanks Komodile)

• [Suggestion] Renamed Dragonfly → Ender Dragonfly (entity + spawn egg) across all locales (thanks AcaGamer5)

About BetterEnd

BetterEnd expands and refreshes The End by adding new biomes and enhancing existing ones. Each biome has its own atmosphere, resources, and mobs. The mod also includes custom music, sounds, and effects to make exploration feel alive and interesting.

BetterEnd includes a custom End world generator and custom Central Island structures. With the new generator, End islands can have different shapes, terrain, and heights. Inside islands you can find caves with unique resources.

Features

• 24+ new biomes (more may 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
• New mechanics like Infusion Rituals, Anvil Recipes, End tool progression, and others
• Integrations with other mods (example: 2 new sub-biomes for BYG biomes in 1.16 and some new plants for them)
• Custom End world generator (configurable) with more possibilities than vanilla
• Configs for blocks, items, mobs, enchants, and many other things
