There Was ANOTHER Minecraft Leak?!

Not gonna lie it looks kinda fake

Is your character Steven Seagal?

the fortnite collab could be just a big joke and makes the leak fake, the end update thing and dungeons 2 could also indicate that, however its good to have faith that perhaps something of this is real

i hope the end update actually makes it more void like and barren. last time they updated it they both made it full (of terrain) and empty (of replay ability and atmosphere) and the outer end islands killed the vibe of the end almost entirely by making it a repetitive slog for gear instead of ominous and isolated. i hope they’re able to actually fix the END, rather than just making it nether update 2.0 with the exact same aesthetic. like there’s a difference between barren and empty. the current end is empty, but it desperately needs more atmosphere for it to feel purposefully barren. i think if they go a thalassophobia/maybe space inspired direction with mobs and plants it could be good, with maybe void fluid and particles. but i hope it’s not like the dungeons end for example. the dungeons end is exactly what im talking about when i say “nether update 2.0” where it’s just the same lively, alien vibe they’ve done before.

i also highly doubt they’re getting c418 back, who clearly understood the barren, void atmosphere better than anyone else who’s worked on other versions of the end. i love lena raine and the other new composers, but i doubt they’ll be able to capture the same melancholic, reflective, and liminal style of c418s the end and boss.ogg tracks. those 2 tracks nearly save the entire aesthetic of the end and journey to the outer islands, but the outer islands are so bad that it’s not enough. i’m gonna be so upset if they don’t recognize and reflect those tracks, i feel like people already don’t even know boss.ogg exists (i sure didn’t until like a year ago, and i’ve been playing since beta. it’s just soooo quiet in game unfortunately) so my hopes aren’t high but. the end has the potential to be so interesting if the go that direction

It's the new April Fools. Nothing exciting 🙁

I really do love the BetterEnd mod, it's super visually interesting, but I do agree, it takes a lot of the End's visual identity away. Literally, take the biomes and some mobs from Dungeons, 1 to 1 and copy paste them into vanilla. Add some flavor, and reasons to actually be there that aren't "it looks cool" or "I want to get this block type from here" like we have seen with the nether update, and I'll be more than happy

the second one is obviously fake

yeah this one is fake lol

cool video, i saw these leaks on reddit a bit ago. I do know the leaked cape files (less the MCE capes variant file) have been spotted in the game files, specifically the MC movie cape basically being confirmed via the "IDAHO" cape data in bedrock. Idaho corresponds to the mc movie project code name based on leaks. Basically ~45% of the leak is confirmed already, so either someone took all the info we know now and made this with guesses, or its real

man im really not a fan of Better End, and it doesnt help that its name gives off a bit of an arrogant vibe

its not just that it looks "too different" from the vanilla end, or else i woulda had an issue with the nether update. its two things. 1: it just feels too visually cluttered to me, which is something it shares in common with its sibling the better nether mod.

and 2: i really don't want a lush end in a similar way to how the nether was revamped. almost everything in the nether update expanded on elements of the nether that already existed. we know mushrooms grow in the nether, so why not have entire mushroom based biomes? why not have soul sand based biomes? why not create versions of piglins that aren't zombified? etc. it can be argued that the same can be drawn from the end with how the chorus plant literally flowers, but thats like… the only thing it has going for it that would encourage it getting conventional, lush nature?

i guess the same can be said about the nether, but for being a dimension literally called hell, it didn't necessarily fight against the idea of life being present here, even if it was zombified life forms, or whatever the ghasts are, or whoever lived in the nether and made those fortresses. meanwhile the end is… the end. it is defined by finality, isn't it? it's very purposefully a vast, barren expanse, isn't it? heck chorus plants look stiff and stone like anyways, almost inorganic, don't they? it very purposefully has a skybox reminiscent of television static, which i guess doesnt mean anything on its own, but paired with the glitchy soundtrack of the end, is that not supposed to allude to this wasteland being something "wrong", something that wasnt meant to happen, something that defies logic, something that is the antithesis of everything you know reality "should" be? that last point can be debated i suppose, but my point is, it feels like the design of the end doesnt want lush life in it, and i feel like if its gonna be made to be survivable, that it shouldnt be implemented in a way that betrays that design sense.

in terms of flora and fauna thought, we have are the endermen who speak an incomprehensible language, who drop pearls like some kind of humanoid mollusk. we have endermites, which are basically parasites. we have shulkers, who are again some kind of mollusk, clam thing. we have chorus fruit plants, which feel inspired by ocean coral. ignoring the ender dragon, that very strongly makes me feel that the end has a loose ocean life theme. so in my opinion, if we really must draw inspiration from living organisms for a potential end revamp, i'd like if we stuck to the weirdest that the ocean has to offer, and even then, put much more emphasis on creating lifeless, barren biomes for the end like sharp, jagged mountains of obsidian, shallow oceans of acid as though the end islands holding them up were shaped like dishes, plants that look lifeless and inert, and some whacky abstract stuff that vibe like errors in reality. yknow just, elements of the world that remind us as the player that we don't belong there.

and thats it, thats my take lol, giant unnecessary rant over now

We should have Illager campsites in the End, after what happened in the Echoing Void DLC of Dungeons.

thing is, you need to do a hell lot to make the end not boring, way more than what mojang is willing to put effort on

Yep there was leaks!

The End isn't supposed to look lived it, it's supposed to look alien and barren.

Personally if Mojang ever does an End Update, can we please have the option to put Trims on our Elytra's? Because for years now, the Elytra has always had that same texture since it was added back in 1.9. And I feel like you should be allow to put trims on your wings since you can do it with Armor. I know for some (like myself), we have capes. But I feel like for the average player, they should be allow to put trims on their Elytra's

Just do not nurf the Elytra Mojang. I would hate it if I had to resort to walking on two feet in the End Dimension if the Elytra was nurfed.

Dungeons 2 and an End Update have me pretty skeptical ngl

An overall structure update would be nice. Other than the village overhaul we got a few years ago (and a few adjustments to the mineshafts), It's a bit weird that Mojang hasn't updated basically a single structure added to the game. Dungeons are still cubes with a spawner and a couple of chests, desert and jungle temples feel so outdated in the selection of blocks that's available now for them and the traps are basically useless, etc.

Heck, probably what made me feel wish a structure update the most was the Nether update, where we got so many new things in the Nether, new cool structures on the Bastions, and we even got a lot of new Nether brick variants, but for some reason, the Nether fortresses themselves stayed with the exact same design, not even trying to include the new variants of bricks on it.

Ya'll are hyped for the end update but ya'll seem to forget that we still have biome votes not added to this day. Looking at you savannah and desert.

Mojang dementia confirmed

I would like to see something similar to the 1.16 Nether update, maybe 3-4 new biomes, new ore and tools using that resource, more structures than just the end city and a few more mobs(maybe enderman variants sounds be cool).

The enderman variants might not be able to be placed in the regular minecraft experience , only if they treat Dungeons as a sorta prequel of the canon I think

Similar to the idea of adding potential trial like structure, the context of the achievements don't seem to play out as the most popular thought/theory of the End being whoever was there, indeed stuck there forever til they died. That's why there're chests filled with diamond gears that no resident in the "present" day able to use. It's quite literally THE END. While they could retroactively change the story to include these trial structure (something they did with the Drowns), it would need big changes in the story.

Personally more biomes or special structure should be added, it's basically a wasteland currently and less fun to explore. Yes, there are end ships and cities, but that's about it. If the Overworld and the Nether gotten lots of updates, shouldn't the End got the same too? Not saying to completely change how it looks, but at least add something to it, fans been hoping for it for a long time

I definitely agree that the end needs an update (especially the dragon fight) but i honestly don't think going the route of better end, or even what they did with the nether update, is a good idea. I think the end should remain a barren desert – don't get me wrong, there are still a bunch of cool new bioms you could add while keeping the theme. End mountains, void seas with some type of new flying mod (i personally would love to see some sort of void whale), end archipelagos that utalize vertacality a bit more, shattered end islands (like an end stonw version of shattered savannah), chorus fruit forest. There are so many cool things you could do w/o changing the vibe of the end
