The End Dimension: The Wrong Way to End a Game

[@XayXayYT]

What're your thoughts about The End? What would you change about it personally? Do share your thoughts! :) As mentioned in the last video, I've learned a few new editing techniques while making this video. But I think I've mostly learned that it's time to get a new PC so I don't take 1 day to edit 1 minute's worth of video lmao.

[@HelloIAmAnExist]

Thoughts: I think you slightly overexaggerated some points but I 100% agree that Minecraft needs an end update. I've thought so for years, and after the cave update got announced I was hoping that Mojang would start doing more highly requested updates, such as the aforementioned end update. And instead of that, 1.19 was the wild update, WHICH DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE COPPER GOLEM. Like, if it had the copper golem, I would've forgiven it, but their second priority right after the copper golem should've been the end. Last time it was changed was *1.9*. Also funnily enough, Jean was more hostile back then, and had the ramming attack you suggested Changes: give it the nether update treatment. Possibly my favorite update to the game ever, because it did so much for a dimension that's so lacking. New biomes, a new structure, some wood types, some blocks, some mobs, and a whole new meta to speedruns. I'd be willing to accept it being split like the cave update because there's just so much that needs to be done there, and if the extra time means they can add more to the final stage, it's worth it IMO.

Biomes in the end would be sick.

Main things are the search with eyes and for the end cities. Would also be nice if the dragon fight would test what you did already. Final bosses should come back to skills combined as a final test. Maybe snipe a weak point shown briefly, deflect a projectile, maybe we have to navigate up a structure (like the dream of killing a dragon in a crumbling tower on a hill with debris and obstacles to counter with blocks, water, fire, bottles etc and maybe you get knocked down and have to get back up etc, maybe a ballista at the top to fire before getting knocked down) and

[@KnightOfDark]

It’s a BATTLE ARENA. It’s meant to be a field to fight on. Not a place to explore like the overworld. In my opinion the only reason an End City works is because they are structures that make it seem as though ancient builders fled the dragon and thought they could fly back to the overworld, but failed not realizing they would have to defeat the ender dragon first

one of the worst things about fortresses is that it requires *four* time consuming visits to make your way to the end. 1. after grinding endermen to create a pile of eyes of ender, you have to pack your bags and set out across the overworld to discover the mere *coordinates* of a fortress; it is usually incredibly far away, and will require several sleeps so you're not getting side-lined by hostile mobs at night. the journey is slow because you can only go a dozen blocks at a time and have to wait for the eye to make up it's mind. 2. after discovering what you hope to God is a nether fortress and not a bugged location, you'll have to construct a "well cap" to drill down into the fortress. again, it's usually incredibly far away and will take time to build both a "base" as well as a shaft stairwell to get there. you may *also have to build* a railcart system from your nearest base or outpost to get there, which takes a long time, or construct a nether portal to warp there, which requires safety infrastructure in the Nether. 3. after constructing your base, you'll need to begin hauling in a bunch of supplies for yet another cave dive; lighting, mining up a ton of walls, marking corridors so you don't get lost, and killing mobs while stuck in cobwebs. Fortresses also have a nasty habit of generating inter-mixed with spaghetti caves *(or worse, abandoned mineshafts)* which can really sidetrack you and make prepping a nether fortress very long and arduous. 4. Ok, *now* you've found the end portal. since it's always really far away from your "well cap," you'll probably need to construct yet *another* well cap to get directly from the surface down to the portal. at this point, connecting your new cap to the initial cap should be relatively easy (if you're very lucky, it will generate in a plains biome, so you can even see where your first well cap was to make a safe pathway to it. after all this, you'll probably need to haul a bunch of resources back to your base, as well as gather up all of your "end loadout" to go fight the ender dragon.

I kind of feel like the dragon arena could be something that you're not just dumped into, but you have to find, following the trail left by these occult villagers, with distinctly overworld structures being much more common near arenas, and ender villages being less common because they fear settling near the dragon.

[@duckified.]

i hope they do something similar to hypixel skyblock's end island. starting at an entrance near the top and finding your way down through the caves with more numerous and powerful enderman spawning the deeper you go. maybe they could flip it around- make it so you spawn at the very bottom and climb your way up so you can't just dig straight down, and the dragon has more room to fly around at the top with no cave ceiling.

[@mr.rabbit5642]

@@duckified. When I read your comment about "finding way down through caves" I imagined smt like huge floating island waaay ABOVE the dragon arena, with smt like a cave maze (like tunnels in asteroids in the movies xd maybe made by the dragon?) and it ending with like a little doorway and a platform RIGHT above the End fountain (far below you), with view over the arena. The fountain would have amt like a slow descent/levitation effect around it or represented with particles, so you would have to jump into the fountain to survive the fall. It would also give the fountain a PURPOSE XD Maybe it should be some kind of a portal/transitional location so you don't _actually_, have a huuuuge island above the arena..? It wouldn't be like the nether roof, with bedrock all around, so you could later fly around and get on top of it.. and having the view from above sounds so cool. Maybe it would be a transitional location where you would have to find a /portal/ within a cave maze, that would take you onto the End Fleet Ship right above the fountain that you would have the view from.

[@connormainwaring8866]

I thoroughly disagree with the first part about eyes of ender and strongholds. I think exploration is a core part of the game, and the eye throwing mechanic makes it feel like a little quest. I don't want a quest marker pointing exactly where I need to go. I enjoy the quest of finding it, navigating through the maze of the stronghold. Sometimes the eye leads directly to the portal room, and I wish it always lead directly to the "entrance" staircase. I wish there was some benefit to finding more than one stronghold, like if there was some kind of cool non-renewable reward.

[@HelloIAmAnExist]

You forgot to mention the coolest thing ever about the end The portal is soooooooo mesmerizing It's so beautiful I actually love it so much lol The way it doesn't move like you'd expect when you move your head around makes it feel like the portal is a hold in space-time and it's just AHHH it's so good

The end dimension actually has 2 tracks already to it (which is honestly one more than I initially thought). The one more likely to be heard is "The End", which is a rather long track that has subtle elements of various overworld music but it ends up sounding all slowed, corrupted, and deteriorating like it's a distant diminishing memory, evolving into alien synths, faint chimes, and static noise. There's apparently a "Boss" track too, but it isn't too different, if not even more subtle, and it is too quiet you can't hear it over all the dragon noises.

[@never_unsealed]

Everything surrounding the end (eyes, stronghold, dragon fight) are relics from very old versions of Minecraft, when the game didn‘t have that much content in general. Remember, the nether used to be only a huge netherrack cave, oceans had nothing but gravel at the bottom and only 10% of structures existed back then. They updated everything and filled it with so much content that today the end stands out for being so dull. Does anyone else feel like playing 1.6 when walking through the stronghold based on how boring and lifeless it is?

[@RyanProvchy]

That is a good point. Minecraft started small and simple, and has evolved to become the massive and complex world it is today. The overworld has become more interesting and varied, oceans and villages and caves have become cooler, the nether has become so much cooler and more fun to explore than it once was. I don't think we should say that Mojang did a bad job with the end, but rather that the end is the next thing they need to update. Which is why I'm looking forward to the 1.22 end update

[@Kriskl]

Fair point. But the trouble with stronghold and end portal room locating sounds like a skill issue.

[@Oznerock]

Personally I'd add "biomes" to the end that are mostly just structures from the overworld and nether, but even more ruined and lifeless, floating in the void. It's music tracks are already corrupted and dead versions of a lot of other tracks in the game, so it would be very sensible in my opinion.

[@manuelinstructions5396]

This honestly could work and could possible work lore wise. The endermen can grab blocks so perhaps they are trying to turn the end into the over world from either the commands of the ender dragon or they all decided themselves. They are stealing structures block by block but they can’t seem to recreate the structures perfectly or in the correct place

[@Ezel_142]

The weirdest thing is that originally the dragon actually was more hostile towards the player. It used to fly towards the bottom of the arena more often, and ram into the player, flinging them up into the air. Especially when the player had to climb the pillars, they had to keep an eye on the dragon, so it doesn't push them off and potentially kill them from fall damage. The pillars also used to be taller from what I recall, and there was a big risk of dying from fall damage without Feather Falling. Shooting the crystal with the bow was more difficult. But for some reason they updated the fight (might be 1.9 or somewhere around it?), making it more boring and lackluster. Maybe it was to make it not drag as much as it used to, because without a bow it indeed was a rather slow fight, but they did it by making the fight a lot less threatening. Sure, the old Ender Dragon wasn't that hard once you understood how it works, but at least there was more of a threat of dying. I think they should have a little bit of a compromise between those two versions, where you have to constantly pay attention to the boss, while also having the new additions like Dragon's Breath or the caged crystals.

[@TwentySeventhLetter]

Like many features from 1.9, I feel like this compromise is gonna be the key to making the fight memorable

The point about an introduction really strikes with me, it could be done really simple and still be effective. Take terraria for example, when you beat the last pillar you get a text at the bottom of the screen announcing impending doom is approaching. Your screen shakes but returns to normal. You continue on as normal but the screen shakes again, this time pulsating. The music starts to slowly fade out and eventually silence, and all at once with one final powerful tremor the screen fades to white and the moon lord appears. It’s very simple but also serves as a great introduction to what is essentially a god coming to destroy you lest you destroy it.

[@Vmast3r]

The thing I hate the most about the end is killing the dragon with beds. It's so anticlimactic and disappointing that you kill the end of the game boss with some outdated mechanic. What are your thoughts on that?

[@XayXayYT]

Honestly, I think they can keep that mechanic. Given that beds exploding are an "Intended Game Mechanic", they probably won't take it away anytime soon. My issue mostly stems from the fact that the dragon doesn't fight back at all, and just allows you to attack it with swords or beds. Now if it were more threatening, maybe it would defend itself against exploding beds, that could be a slight fix.

I feel like giving the ender dragon some form of blast resistance wouldn’t be a bad idea. Not an immunity, just a resistance.

When the Ender Dragon bar appears, the End music could start playing on that glitchy part. Imagine the Minecraft melody getting distorted, really feels like that dimension is THE END of something that the overworld were. The music reminding how the overworld were, with that nostalgic melodies, slowly getting distorted and intense. This would be a perfect OST for the Ender Dragon fight, while the fight is a hell of difficulty like you said. The music is reminding you to face your fate while you stare to the empty void around the island. This is stuff ahahah

[@wortwortwort117]

There are two main issues with the End as a whole. 1. In any given world you travel to a nether fortress, and the stronghold, then the game ends... that's it. There should be more locations you need to visit, perhaps adding more to Eyes of Ender Recipe and having those ingredients found in new structures / dimensions. 2. The concept of "endgame" doesn't really work with Minecraft because it takes like 5 hours to reach the end. So there is no reason to lock Elytra / Shulker boxes behind the Ender Dragon. I think reaching the end should not plop you on the center main island but will place you anywhere in the end relative to the stronghold coordinates, then you can loot end cities and such at your own pace, you're allowed to leave at any time through the stronghold to End portal you entered through, but the EnderDragon could be waiting on the center island

Hopefully they take a page out of your idea because it seems like a great way to make the End much more enjoyable to go through than right now.

I think the Stronghold should stay relatively empty. I like that there's a mystery to who built it and why the end portal is there. I agree with everything else you've said and I think expanding on why strongholds are there would be more interesting than just using Illegers. Create a new entity or remnant of an entity that build a stronghold to protect the portal and keep others out. In addition to this, I like the Ender Dragon being a bigger threat. Adjust the End so it feels like a climactic battle. One worthy of a portal being built, then abandoned. Maybe even increase the stakes a bit. Have the player explore the end a bit more before finding the dragon. Include remnants of this missing people and the destruction the dragon caused to what they built. Leave a bit of mystery, but dial up the threat.

[@ngabel8956]

I actually really like the eyes of ender. Throwing them out and chasing them down is a more engaging experience than simply looking at a compass needle or following a waypoint. The eyes breaking adds ambiguity, presenting players with several choices. 1) Throw fewer eyes at the risk of straying off path and exploring a bit more of the overworld. 2) Be as swift as possible at the risk of running out and having to restock. 3) Overstock on eyes before setting out.

The part about eyes of ender is so relatable man. I was recently finding a stronghold in survival on version 1.19.4 and I spent SO MUCH TIME trying to find said stronghold…I don’t even know how much area I mined out hoping the stronghold was nearby, and my diamond pickaxe nearly broke because of it. I literally had to give up, enable cheats, go into spectator mode, and find the stronghold that way. I’ll admit I don’t usually get to the point where I go to the End in survival, but in all my years of playing Minecraft, I’ve never had the eyes of ender screw me over THIS much. Great vid man, you honestly deserve way more subs than you currently have. Hi, future me here: from what I remember there actually IS a way to find the portal room in the stronghold. It has to do with how the doors are placed. I don’t remember if doors placed further away from you lead you to the portal room or vice versa, but I remember learning about this trick. Though, I’m not sure if Mojang ever did away with that, or if this fact is inaccurate. Again, I don’t usually get to the End in survival, so I could be completely wrong, lol

[@svetlananikolaeva8039]

The trick is to go through backwards doors until you get to the starter staircase and the portal is usually within 5-7 rooms from it. The starter staircase is a spiral staircase that leads nowhere(may be more precise than that) and backwards doors are doors that are further away from you

I was a little concerned when you mentioned giving the End a story, but I think you made it work.

Emphasize it to the player All that suspense, and all of your struggle just to be met with a barren wasteland of abandoned cities few n' far between. Remove Elytra as a chest item and make the Ender Dragon drop a crucial material for the Elytra, and make it craftable with phantom parts giving them a use aside from being annoying.

[@outsideconfidence12]

See the thing is many people dont understand this aspect about minecraft, now i do agree the final boss fight is a bit boring, however you dont have to do it if u dont want to. Minecraft isnt a straight line game, its a sandbox, meaning you can do whatever you want, and the enderdragon fight isnt really an endgame fight, its just another side fight, like the wither, or the warden or the guardian. Players can choose to do it or not, and i think mojang keeps this fight simply for that reason, to show that its not anything special to beat the enderdragon, its just an option if u want u can, or if u dont want u dont have to.

I think that when you go out to the End islands, you should be able to find MASSIVE pillars of blocks from the Overworld and Nether.

I think the roles of the outer islands and main dragon island should have their order reversed. The player could start in the outer Islands of the end and have the gateways leading back to the overworld. There could be a new structure "the citadel" that acts as the gateway to the dragon, only reachable via elytra due to it being found floating far out in the void. This idea mostly came from minecraft dungeons but it could make the ending more impactful, especially if the enderdragon fight was overhauled to revolve around flying with the elytra and making it feel more difficult, like a final challenge.

For me, the Eyes of Ender and the Stronghold are meant to be a "calm before the storm." Something to build suspense and anticipation of what you're going to find, similar to how long mining obsidian takes. Even if you know everything in the Nether already, it's still exciting to know you're going to get there. Granted, they both should be better. Perhaps using 8 eyes of ender to create a Stronghold Map would work better and make the journey there less annoying, and then giving the stronghold really good loot would make the journey throughout it more worthwhile (or reuse stuff from the Trial Chambers to create some final challenges). However, my "calm before the storm" argument would be better if the Dragon wasn't both boring and easy. It's always baffled me that people grind for perfect enchanted Diamond gear, when Iron with basic enchantments, a Water Bucket, some blocks, and/or slow falling is all you really need (that's not even mentioning the bed method). Give it a shot, it's way easier than you'd think. Then after that, I 100% agree that the Dimension itself is boring. I feel that it should be eerie, like nothing is supposed to be there. Structures should be nonsensical, with intentionally weird generation like they were ravaged by dragons and repaired by Endermen doing their best. There should be actual crops, perhaps having "end-dirt" that grows the beetroot seeds you see in all of the chests, but when grown in the end, Beets become Chorus Beets, and have you levitate. End-Stone shulkers should be all over the place, giving more chances for boxes.

[@reinbew62]

Correct, the end is SUPPOSED to be like that. You can even see that if you turn the music on. It has a creepy, lonely and mysterious vibe to it. It's just that... the ender dragon is a bad boss. Most of the final bosses you see is introduced and foreshadowed the entire game, you know who the bad guy is, you know your motive. Kirby and The Forgotten Land for an example, does a great job at this. The more you proceed in the game, the more you feel that you are getting close to the final boss. And when you reach the (spoilers) lab, you fight with the leader of the Beast Pack, Leongar. Once you beat him, the real bad guy, Fecto Forgo awakens and it's introduced PERFECTLY, it consumes everything in sight as it chases you, then it absorbs your friend, the one you were trying to save this whole time, Elfilin and becomes it's true form, Fecto Elfilis. It goes way up and you climb a tower, you find every ability in the game in that tower and after reaching the top, you get a cutscene where Fecto Elfilis slowly floats down while opening it's wings, you see a majestic yet intimidating being. The music helps a lot with this feeling too, the fight itself is great and the final section... I'm not going to talk about it. I gave enough spoilers.

[@dylan.bissendmylife]

One of the coolest mods to come out recently imo is End Remastered. I haven't finished my current playthrough with the mod so I don't know yet if it actually changes the End itself, but it completely changes the journey to get there. Instead of going to the Stronghold, you have to search for a structure on the surface called the End Castle, which is a giant castle with all kinds of different rooms and loot, as well as the End Portal (duh). But it doesn't end there. Instead of farming endermen for pearls, then farming blazes for powder, then crafting a bunch of eyes, you only need two eyes of ender. Why? Because most of the eyes in this mod are found in structures around the world or dropped by certain mobs (including the wither), with only two of them having to be crafted by combining an eye of ender with different materials that the mod adds. And once you've gathered up all the different eyes you need, you can pop them into the portal frame and go through as normal. Admittedly the mod isn't perfect for everyone because not every player likes the exploration aspect of the game, but for me it's amazing. Minecraft should place way more of an emphasis on exploration and adventure, and this mod gives the best possible incentive to go out to find different structures instead of hunkering down in whatever slices of the world you've claimed as your own, building a zillion farms, and never leaving the territory that you consider to be yours. Ok tangent about exploring over. The bottom line is that if you're looking for a more engaging and interesting path to the End, this mod is amazing for that, and Mojang should definitely take at least some inspiration from it to overhaul the worst aspect of the game. If you're more of a "secret underground fortress" enjoyer but still think the vanilla stronghold sucks, I'd recommend Yung's Better Strongholds. Yung has a whole collection of mods overhauling various structures in the game, and they're all amazing. I absolutely recommend them to anyone who wants to make exploring the world that much more fun.

I've never liked the eyes of ender, I've always found them annoying. The end, with the elytra, and ships and islands, Feels much more like a minor annoyance now than a proper sendoff.

My question is how would you even add drawings on walls in mc

[@nathanielmartins5930]

@@tinnedfoil906 There are already chisel blocks in mc. Have certain areas and structures generate unique chisel patterns.

blud forgot to mention sometimes strongholds dont even HAVE portals >:[

[@gabrielchastain6091]

Those are good ideas but the idea that something ancient once was there in those strongholds and is long abandoned along with most structures in Minecraft really makes you feel like you are the only person around but others once lived there before you gone without a trace I don't know if adding illagers would mess with that feel

[@sonicwaveinfinitymiddwelle8555]

The End is actually doing exactly what it was meant to be. It is not overwhelming and keeps your focus in the stuff you came in for.

[@theoneandonlymr.d]

thats what i was thinking 🤝

[@BLET_55artem55]

I don't think it was supposed to be boring to a point of extreme frustration and abundance of the world

[@XayXayYT]

The Nether still keeps you in focus of the blaze rods you're looking for, while not being completely empty though imo

[@nobodys_here07]

​@@XayXayYT I'm pretty sure Mojang mentioned how they always intended for the End to feel barren and seemingly devoid of most resources.

[@LineOfThy]

@@XayXayYT that's because the nether doesn't just exist for you to collect blaze rods

[@davidmoreira2334]

Best name ever to a silverfish, you had me rolling with that one. About the ender dragon fight, I agree with it not being almost an issue, she basically does not fight back, at least prior to 1.9 she would ram at you and make you fly dozens of block if you were not ready but now it's just some "gas"

[@UdderlyEvelyn]

I think chorus fruit and the end islands and cities are neat. I think the cities are too common, though, and I also think there needs to be more content in the end - ores, more mobs, caves, etc.. The ender dragon fight needs to be more fun, end crystals are boring, add mobs to defend them and remove the slog of getting up and down the pillars by putting them on the ground and making them immune to projectiles. Add verticality to the end with layers of islands, maybe add a lower layer with some overworld stuff spawning and some new stuff and an upper layer with rare materials and harsh mobs and environment. Make the end get brighter as you go lower, insinuating the overworld could be below but just making it an even weirder place, never confirming it.

[@rowanstree8499]

yeah, but nothing that ruins its barren feel

[@bthegamer6969]

This guy completely overlooks the point THE WHOLE POINT IS ITS THE END dont get me wrong an end update would be great but thats only an issue because i want more not because the end os bad its actually really good

[@HumanoidDerpling]

I had an idea for an End rework where it gets more dangerous but more rewarding the further out you explore. Unique structures, biomes and mobs could generate in each arc of the End. Eldritch monsters could lurk in the outermost parts of the End, banished there by the dragon, and even the terrain could grow hostile at a certain point. Water could become more essential the farther on you go, perhaps in some cases being your only usable weapon. I think something the End would also benefit from is being more 3 dimensional. While depth is a big part of the Overworld and the Nether, most of the End islands generate on the same Y level, and going much deeper than that is heavily punished. Since one can't simply staircase downward, you'd have to MLG or do some other niche thing, further preventing the End from getting too boring.

[@Yutingen]

sandbox games don't need storyline, but the end do need a update :/

[@the_cat_the_cat]

5:26 me and my friend had a world that we were playing on, and the glitch where the eyes of ender didn't even lead to the stronghold happened to us. we had to use the locate command to actually get into the stronghold, but THEN we explored the entire stronghold, and we couldn't find the portal room. We THOUGHT it was the entire stronghold. we had to go into spectator mode, and we found out that there was a 1 block thick stone wall between the part of the stronghold we were already in, and the part that had the end portal. The stronghold generated split into two parts, basically. to add more insult to injury, that 1 block thick wall was in the room that we entered the stronghold from... a regular gameplay really should not require this much 'cheating' to actually beat the game

[@Doughbee]

We need music for the final battle, it literally can make a fight so much more memorable

[@Kadibaba]

in the lore ender dragons are actually species that are about to be extinct thats why our ancestors tried to protect them. Maybe instead of killing we can try to save the last dragon and tame him.

[@noelopez3437]

My ideas really just boil down to improve the Ender Dragon fight by making it attack more actively, and basically bring over the Dungeons End into vanilla, it's so interesting and it's a shame that normal Minecraft doesn't use the stuff in its spinoffs, so much hidden potential there.

[@SuperPhantomUser]

The one thing that maybe could have saved the boss fight was just some good music Right now you're just fighting the Dragon in silence, and so much of the Minecraft soundtrack is godlike, I'm sure they could put together an epic End theme for this

[@uncroppedsoop]

there actually is a song. but it's _that_ understated and easy to miss, that it can feel like you're just fighting the dragon in dead silence

[@adakalyoncu1913]

There is a soundtrack to the end but it actually plays after the fight. It is quite scary if you hear it for the first time, even worse than cave sounds if you ask me

[@Readspiraloyster]

The thing is is that there is a story tied around the end is just Mojang themselves don't want to tell anyone they want us to find out or even come up with her own and I do have to agree that is towards the ends detriment So I think revealing a small amount of this story and updating the battle and the end to be better what did overall good update for the end so I'm still in agreeance with you

[@BinglesP]

I remember in Brendaniel’s “Rating Every Minecraft Block” video, he nicknamed the End as “the Moon”. More accurate comparison than Heaven, that’s for sure.

[@DarkenPeak]

Well,this is a cool way to face a boss fight but if it were to happen speedruns would be much harder
