Minecraft 1.22: The End Update Finally?
For years, the community has begged Mojang to update The End. While the Nether got a massive overhaul in 1.16, the End remains a barren wasteland of yellow stone and chorus fruit. However, recent snapshot file names and developer tweets strongly suggest that Update 1.22 will finally address the void dimension.
What to Expect: New Biomes
Concept art shared during Minecraft Live hinted at "The Toxic Garden" and "The Upside Down Forest." These new biomes would break the monotony of the End Islands.
- Void Jellyfish: A new neutral mob that floats in the void space between islands. They can be ridden if tamed with Chorus Fruit.
- Enderite Ore: A potential new tier above Netherite? Leaks suggest a purple-tinted ore found only on the underside of End islands, making mining extremely risky.
Dragon Rework
Harder Boss Fight
The Ender Dragon fight has been trivial for years. 1.22 aims to give the dragon new phases, including a ground phase where she attacks with wings and tail, requiring shield usage.

About time. The End is so boring after you get the Elytra.
