Why Minecraft is in dire need of an End update

As Mojang continues to work on yet another Minecraft update, players are yet again urging the developers to bring new additions to the third and last dimension, the End. The eerie and mysterious floating dimension of the sandbox game is no longer too eerie and mysterious simply because it has been seen and explored numerous times by millions of players.

Hence, gamers feel it is time for Mojang to bring something new to the End dimension.

Reasons why Minecraft needs an End update

Overworld and Nether dimensions have already been updated

One of the biggest reasons why the End should be updated in the coming installments is because the first two dimensions, the Overworld and the Nether, have already been updated several times.

Back in 2020, Minecraft brought a massive update to the Nether realm, adding new biomes, structures, and a new endgame material to make gear from. This drastically changed the mechanics of the sandbox and was considered one of the best updates the game ever had.

Structures like bastion remnants and biomes like warped and crimson forests were added. New ancient debris blocks were also included, from which players could extract netherite, a new material to make gear, which was stronger than diamonds.

Right after that, Mojang came up with an announcement to bring major changes to the Overworld. They introduced the Caves and Cliffs update, which was so massive that the developers had to split it in two. These updates were followed by the Wild update and the Trails and Tales update as well, which added even more blocks, structures, world generation changes, and mobs to the Overworld.

Even in 2023, Mojang announced the Minecraft 1.21 update, which will yet again add more features to the Overworld.

While the End realm did receive some minor changes in the past, no major features were added to it. Since Mojang has now updated two of Minecraft's realms, they should update End in the future as well.

End's features have already been explored by most in the Minecraft community

Despite the End realm being the last dimension players go to, it has been visited by millions countless times. Since Mojang has not really added new content to it, many in the community are now somewhat bored of even going to it in newer worlds since all of it is already explored.

The End only has the main island, which has several obsidian towers, a center bedrock fountain, and an end portal that allows players to visit other islands, which mainly have chorus trees and endermen. End Cities are the only attraction apart from the main island, where players obtain great loot and Elytra, an overpowered gear with which they can fly.

While the End is still important for the endermen farm, the wither farm, shulker shells, and Elytra, the dimension does not offer anything major apart from that, especially something new.

Features like new structures, mobs, items, and blocks could greatly improve not only the realm itself but also Minecraft as a whole. It can encourage players to enter the desolate floating dimension once again.
