Mods are external programs for games, and there are a ton of them for Minecraft. Most mods can completely change the game by introducing unique new features.

Minecraft biomes and terrain have been the same for a while now. New cave and mountain biomes are coming with the 1.18 update, but there is still a reasonable amount of time for that update to come out. Using mods, the current world generation can be enhanced, and more features can be added.

Over the years, the vast majority of Minecrafters have complained about the End not receiving any updates. Sadly, even the 1.18 and 1.19 updates will not bring any End dimension biomes.

This mod fixes the issue by adding two End biomes: the azure forest and the crystal crag.
