Exploring the End Wilds

A sneak peek at Echoing Void’s new mission!

Thank you! Bringing the End over to Minecraft Dungeons has been on the table since the very beginning! We knew we wanted to recreate it in Minecraft Dungeons, but when we sat down to plan it out, we quickly identified a few needs. One amazing thing with vanilla Minecraft is the ability to explore endless amounts of terrain, and in a realm like the End it can be a huge thrill. 

In Minecraft Dungeons however, we need a world that is hand-crafted and densely packed with mobs, so together with Mojang Studios, we did a bit of a “refresh” in the same vein as Flames of the Nether – something that would be instantly familiar to anyone who had ever ventured through an End Portal, but with more materials, plant life, structures, and opponents.

No problem! End Wilds is filled with environmental hazards like void blocks and void liquid that not just cause damage, but inflict a debuff called “Voided”, which multiplies all incoming damage. Prolonged contact with these is a one-way ticket to defeat!  

We have also turned the shulker’s bullets into an opportunity to add new puzzles to the missions. Players will have to hold off from defeating them straight away and instead lead their levitation-debuffing homing bullets through the halls of the End City and into special contraptions powered by them. Another new gameplay feature is elytra flying. As many Minecraft players already know, this item allows you to soar through the air. In Dungeons, you do this between the platforms that separate islands from each other. You can find barrels filled with fireworks throughout the mission to use to catch a ride high up into the air on the back of a rocket. Once the rocket explodes, players are free to glide high above the oblivious mobs below.  

My favourite thing about this feature is the elytra dive, which allows players to dive straight down and slam into the ground with a powerful boom, sending mobs caught in it flying in every direction. I think players are going to have a lot of fun with this DLC!
