Endium Expansion

🔹 How to Get Endium

Step 1: Mine Endium Ore

Deep within the End lies Endium Ore, a rare and valuable block that can only be found in the outer islands. It requires a Netherite pickaxe to mine.

Step 2: Smelt into Endium Scrap

Smelting Endium Ore in a furnace or blast furnace yields Endium Scrap, a crucial ingredient in crafting Endium Ingots.

Step 3: Craft Endium Ingots

In a crafting table, combine 5 Endium Scrap and 5 Eyes of Ender to produce 1 Endium Ingot. This step ensures Endium remains an Endgame resource, both literally and mechanically.

🔹 Upgrading to Endium Gear

New Drop: Endium Upgrade Template

Shulkers now have a chance to drop Endium Upgrade Templates upon death. These rare templates are required to upgrade gear.

Smithing Table Upgrade

To upgrade your gear, use:

1 Endium Upgrade Template

1 Endium Ingot

Any piece of Netherite armor or tool

Place these into a smithing table to create Endium Gear.

🔹 Why Use Endium?

Endium gear is significantly stronger than Netherite, offering:

Higher durability

Increased damage (tools)

Improved protection (armor)

Built-in knockback resistance and more (depending on your configuration)

This mod maintains vanilla balance by requiring Netherite as a prerequisite and making Endium both resource-intensive and hard to obtain.
