Getting Started

Start by creating the "Guide to the End" or find it in the updated stronghold. Below is a more detailed overview of the mod's content.

Enhanced Stronghold

Spoiler

The real adventure begins! The only change to the Overworld - the stronghold has become significantly larger with redesigned rooms. Special mob spawners add complexity to your journeys, such as invisible cave spiders! The stronghold is now two-level, with the portal room and library on the second floor.

Changes to the Main End Biome

Spoiler

(Top left) Avalon - a mysterious trader rarely encountered. He offers enchantments and upgraded weapons for a price. You can also find Avalon's Coin for a special challenge. (Top right) Turium - a new plant rarely found in the biome or End structures. When consumed, gives Regeneration 2 for a short time. (Bottom left) Compulsors - mechanisms that suck up items and entities. Great for farms or creating traps. (Bottom right) Ancient Guilder - a new End inhabitant who dislikes everything related to Ash Wastelands. You can give him items that will display on his head. If you place the required block nearby, he will transform it into another. End Vaults These structures contain the new resource - Pure Crystals. They are well protected, and vaults can be found by well-like structures on the surface or along island sides. Locations are heavily guarded, with a chance to encounter a mini-boss. The Lamented Islands This giant floating city is home to the first major boss. It's recommended to defeat the Lamentor to determine if you're ready for Ash Wastelands. A small amount of Pure Crystals can also be found here.

Ash Wastelands

Spoiler

Ash Wastelands This biome is full of hostility and shrouded in dark fog upon entry. However, it holds keys to the most powerful equipment and additional useful mechanisms. (Top left) Dark fog in the Wastelands and watching eyes - better to light up the area. (Top right) One of the new biome resources, rarely found on the surface but more common underground. These crystals combine with Pure Crystals to create the best armor in the mod. (Bottom left) Wasteland underground holds its secrets in Ashed Mines - huge cave systems with new life. The second resource, Cordium, is also found here. (Bottom right) One of the underground inhabitants that latches onto your head if awakened. Endgame Structures (Left) Ashed Towers loom over the biome, containing puzzles, traps, and the best chance to find Avalon's Coin at the top. Fell Knights guard their treasures here, with a chance for mini-boss spawn. (Right) Ashed King's Fortress - a massive floating citadel, the mod's final point. You'll encounter various Fell Knight variants, and at the main building's top - the second and final major boss. Ensure you have the best equipment - enchanted diamond armor won't suffice.
