About True Ending - Ender Dragon Overhaul
From ModrinthAn Ender Dragon overhaul with progressing difficulty, new attacks, and elegant particle animation.
About
True Ending dramatically overhauls the vanilla Ender Dragon. Fight a now much stronger Ender Dragon, with increased health, new attacks, and new phases that progressively up the dragon's difficulty. Through other additions like longer lasting dragon breath, particle ambience, and a climatic final hit, the Ender Dragon fight is now much more exciting and more satisfying to beat.
Difficulty: Damage from the True Ending Ender Dragon is scaled by difficulty, so if you're looking for a greater challenge, set your world's game mode to Hard. This also works by making the fight easier with Easy mode.
♪ Boss Music
True Ending adds boss music to the Ender Dragon boss fight! If you're using the datapack version, you'll have to download the resource pack by clicking here. Mod users won't have to install the resource pack as its already nicely installed along the mod jar file.
Settings
You can configure multiple settings in True Ending, like the Ender Dragon's health, through its settings menu by using /function true_ending:_settings in chat.
