end lore things i’ve been thinking about
-phantoms have the same green eyes that endermen did before their eye color was changed to purple, and like endermen, their eyes remain visible when affected by invisibility (I think)
-phantoms were previously able to spawn in the End
-very Interesting that elytra can only be repaired with phantom membranes, even though those are only obtainable in the overworld now - implies some other native organic material with which elytra were originally crafted (giant End beetles??? hell YEAH I’m here for that!!)
-it would make sense for the End to be populated with more flying creatures in general. like teleportation, it’s a good adaptation for traversing the floating islands, and it would give the additional bonus of roosting on the cliffsides or undersides of islands - niches yet unfilled.
-flying could connect to shulker bullets’ levitation ability... very interesting (I like the idea of an End plant that causes levitation, too)
-this would also fit nicely with all the floating ships that were probably a central form of transportation between islands
-maybe chorus adapted to teleport you when you eat it in the hopes of spreading its seeds further
-endermen and chorus could have some kind of symbiotic relationship, with the chorus providing the endermen with abundant food, and the endermen roaming far and wide to disperse new chorus seeds (the reason no discarded seeds grow in other dimensions is the lack of end stone to take root in)
-the End’s people, who built the cities, could have been deeply in tune with nature, as evidenced by the spiraling designs of their buildings echoing the growth patterns of chorus trees
-What Happened To The Other Dragons??
in conclusion, more End plants and mobs please mojang, i need to see my dimension’s ecology thrive
