Heaven's Deus expands on the base game of Minecraft with an overhauled fantasy experience.

Celesteus, a divine land now rampant with the scourge of corruption. The remnant power which once overran and created what today is the End and Nether, now seeks to plunge everything into chaos.

After ridding the End of the Corrupted Dragon and proving yourself worthy to the Gods of Celesteus, you will be invited to the divine land as a hero and eventually as a saviour.

Overall Heaven's Deus aims to prolong the Minecraft progression past the endgame. Changing the endgame but still keeping it separate from the base game to not conflict with it. The Mod requires any player to have beaten the Ender Dragon before entering Celesteus, switch the gamerule:worthyCandidateOverride to True to disable this requirement. Mana potential/talent is also assigned values based on a bell curve, switch the gamerule:manaTalents to False to assign all players the maximum values. This does not affect general gameplay or give max mana from the start. This is all up to player discretion but is designed to be left as they are set by default.
