Why Minecraft End update can't be as simple as fans may think

Minecraft fans have been asking for an End update for years as the dimension has been the same for almost a decade. Mojang Studios have drastically improved the overworld with multiple updates and even made the Nether dimension fleshed out with various structures and biomes. However, the End remains the same. A major update specifically made for this dimension would definitely be a great addition.

Minecraft updates take a lot of time and planning, even for adding small items such as the mace weapon, or the new breeze rod. Considering the task of updating a whole dimension, it would certainly take a lot of effort. This article will look at why an End update cannot be as simple as fans think.

An End update for Minecraft is complicated

Why are Mojang so scared of updating the end? byu/Glinckey inMinecraft

Releasing any update for Minecraft might seem like a simple task on the surface but even smaller updates require a lot of planning, testing, and a proper implementation to make sure it does not affect other aspects of the game. When it comes to major updates, like an End update, things are even more complicated.

The End is a separate dimension like the Nether, and Mojang Studios took their time when updating the Nether. They also took a lot of time to make the caves in the overworld fleshed out. This could mean that the developers already have something planned for the End, and they might reveal it in the near future.

Another interesting point worth noting is the scale of the update. Adding one biome to the End dimension might not be that impactful. The developers might want to add more than one biome at once. Since the End is supposed to be barren and desolate, developers must come up with a way to make it worth exploring without taking away the lifeless essence from it.

Minecraft is getting interesting updates

The developers are listening to the community as Mojang Studios recently announced a restructuring of their update system. Instead of one major update every year, the developers will add smaller updates frequently. This is a welcome change as it keeps the game fresh, and allows developers to tweak the updates based on community feedback.

The Minecraft Live is just around the corner and it might be adding a new mob called the Creaking, and a new biome called the Pale Garden. This crucial information about the update was leaked accidentally on the official website of MC Live. After fans took notice, it was swiftly taken down. Mojang Studios have teased the new mob and the biome in their recent social media posts, solidifying the leaks.
