BetterEnd

Features

• Crashed ships are real structures now and can be found with /locate structure, and one of their chests is a trapped chest that sets off hidden TNT (BetterEnd#613)
• The ruins, houses, stumps and fallen logs of the BetterEnd biomes are real structures now and can be found with /locate structure (BetterEnd#613)
• A floating Tenanea house now generates rarely in the Blossoming Spires and can be found with /locate structure (BetterEnd#616)

Changes

• More water plants on megalake floors
• Megalakes grow their own underwater life: charnia, bubble coral, pond anemones, menger sponges and end lilies
• Bare end stone and dust shores of megalakes get patches of moss with shore plants
• Megalake shore plants are more varied, dense near the water and thin out randomly within seven blocks
• Megalake rims step down irregularly into the terrain instead of forming a vertical wall
• Big Aurora crystals are about 40% more common in Aurora caves (BetterEnd#615)

Fixes

• Biome buildings stand on the ground again instead of replacing its top layer with bare end stone, and the variants of a building (ruins_1, ruins_2, ...) are one structure that picks one of them (BetterEnd#613)
• Megalakes no longer carve pit ponds into hillsides, and lakes and mountains generate as fast as before
• Generated eternal portals always miss at least one frame block
• Megalakes and mountains generate as fast as before again, and placing a megalake no longer logs tick errors
• Megalakes and End lakes have lush floors again where the lake floor reaches into the cave band
• Megalakes no longer remove tall plants that already grew next to them
• Megalakes and mountains generate the same terrain regardless of chunk order
• Megalake shores slope one block at a time into the surrounding terrain instead of ending in walls
• Megalakes no longer leave terrain plants floating above the water of overlapping lakes
• Megalakes generate again; lakes no longer end up in the neighboring End biome
• Crystal Mountains peaks are crowned with tall, straight crystals again
• Budding Smaragdant crystals only grow at the base of a crystal column (BetterEnd#615)
• Cave floors under stalagmites, shards and crystals are covered with the cave's own floor material (BetterEnd#615)
• Distant terrain in low-fog End biomes blends into the sky instead of showing a coloured band
• End villages: the obsidian house with the Tenanea chest now contains loot
• Cave bushes, cave moss and smaragdant crystals no longer generate on the surface of End islands (BetterEnd#615)
• Slimes split on death into the same End Slime variant instead of extra chorus slimes (BetterEnd#619)
• Barrels in the Shadow Forest and Lantern Woods ruins contain loot again (BetterEnd#620)
• Wooden ladders use the 3D ladder model again (BetterEnd#617)
• Coming back from the End through an Eternal Portal could leave the player stuck in the portal
• Shift-clicking items out of the End stone smelter moves them into the whole inventory, not only the hotbar
• End structures no longer stall world generation with density-function End mods like Stellarity (BetterEndBetterEnd#391)
• German: label for the guidebook config option and typos on the Eternal Ritual guidebook page
• The BetterEnd creative tabs keep related blocks and items together (BetterEnd#533)
• End wood planks, slabs, stairs, doors, fences and furniture catch fire like vanilla planks (5/20) instead of like logs (5/5)
• Bulb lanterns have their intended hardness, lantern sound and light again; iron bulb lanterns gave no light
