About
BetterEnd: New Dawn is an independently maintained, unofficial continuation of BetterEnd that keeps its End-expansion experience available with ongoing fixes and compatibility improvements. It transforms the End with more than 24 biomes, six mobs with some biome-specific variants, and a configurable world generator that creates varied island shapes, terrain, heights, and resource-filled caves, alongside custom Central Island structures. Exploration brings new plants, resources, music, sounds, particles, and visual effects, as well as nine wood types, seven stone types, decorative blocks, food, tools, armor, and weapons. Gameplay additions include Infusion Rituals, custom anvil recipes, and an End-specific tool and equipment progression; Resonance hammer enchantments can mine 3×3×3 or 5×5×5 areas, with rituals for crafting their enchanted books and a built-in recipe book. Recent additions include the Flower Islets and Waterfall Ponds biomes, Ruined End Bridges, Dragon-Helix trees, Amaranita patches, reworked End lakes and biome-specific shores, plus boats, chest boats, and an End Lotus Raft. Infusion Pedestals and Eternal Portals have visual construction guides, and loot tables for all BetterEnd mobs can be customized with datapacks and reloaded in-game. Configuration options cover world generation and content such as blocks, items, mobs, and enchantments, while compatibility work includes integrations with other biome and world-generation mods.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked its files without running them.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.10 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. All 10 are for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Not read yet
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We have not read its code yet
The file checks found no code that connects to the internet.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.None yet. See each file in Releases
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.
AI
AI was used for its sound
Suno is named in the sound files in its files.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.No AI content or AI features declared.
- Code historyThe public code on GitHub: who made each change, credit lines such as "Co-authored-by", and its files.Nothing found
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found4 of 40 changelogs read
- Its filesFiles that AI coding tools leave behind (like AGENTS.md), and the texts inside the files you download.Nothing found
- Images in its filesHidden data in the images of the files you download, where AI image tools write their name and settings.Nothing found2,008 images read
- Sounds in its filesThe tags of the sound files in the files you download, where some AI music tools write their name.Suno named in music metadata in 2 sound files40 of 45 sounds read
- Code of the modThe code and files of the mod, read without running it: addresses of AI services, AI libraries, AI model files and a place for your own AI key.No AI service, AI library or AI model file660 code files read

Known conflicts
These projects do not work together with BetterEnd: New Dawn: their authors or BetterEnd: New Dawn's author say so. If you install both, the game can crash or some features can stop working. Some of them do the same job as BetterEnd: New Dawn, so you only need one.
