Discover the Enderite Mod: The Next Evolution of Netherite
If you thought Netherite was the ultimate material in Minecraft, think again. The Enderite Mod for Forge and NeoForge pushes the boundaries even further, introducing a rare, End-dimension resource that lets you craft gear with gravity-defying properties. From void-floating tools to a chestplate that fuses armor with flight, this mod brings a whole new tier of progression that feels both challenging and rewarding. Whether you are a seasoned explorer or a builder tired of losing items to the void, Enderite offers a fresh twist on endgame equipment.
What Makes Enderite Special?
Enderite tools and armor are direct upgrades from Netherite, but they come with unique abilities tied to the End’s mysterious energy. All Enderite items are fireproof, just like Netherite, but their standout feature is the void floating ability. Any Enderite item that falls below Y=0 will simply hover above the void, preventing permanent loss. Even if a player falls out of the world, their precious gear will float safely until retrieved. This alone makes the mod a lifesaver for hardcore adventurers.
Void Floating Enchantment
Beyond the innate item behavior, the mod adds a special Void Floating enchantment that can be applied to gear. This enchantment offers tiered survival chances when a player enters the damage zone below Y=-64:
- Tier 1: 33% chance to survive the void damage
- Tier 2: 66% survival chance
- Tier 3: 100% guaranteed survival
With a maxed-out enchantment, you can literally walk on the edge of nothingness without fear. The enchantment is now datapack-driven, giving server owners and modpack creators full control over its behavior.
Finding and Processing Enderite Ore
Enderite ore spawns exclusively in the End dimension, between heights 12 and 48. However, you cannot simply mine it with a pickaxe. The ore must first be cracked by an explosion—TNT, beds, or creeper blasts will do the trick. Once cracked, its texture changes to a broken variant, and only then can it be harvested with a Netherite pickaxe. This explosive requirement adds a thrilling risk-reward element to every mining trip.
After gathering cracked Enderite ore, smelt it in a blast furnace to obtain Enderite scraps. Combine four scraps with four diamonds in a crafting grid to produce one Enderite ingot. The process mirrors the Netherite upgrade path, making it intuitive for veteran players.
Crafting Enderite Gear
All Enderite tools, weapons, and armor are crafted by upgrading their Netherite counterparts in a smithing table. Starting from version 1.20, you will need an Enderite Upgrade Smithing Template, which can be found in End City chests. The drop chance is configurable, so you can adjust the grind to your liking. Once you have the template, combine a Netherite item with an Enderite ingot to unlock the new tier.
If you prefer a streamlined modding experience, you can grab the Enderite Mod directly through the foxygame.net launcher—a flexible, modern launcher that lets you download and manage mods right from its menu without juggling external files.
Special Items and Their Abilities
The Enderite Mod doesn’t stop at basic tools. Several unique items expand your options in clever ways:
- Enderite Sword: Charge it with up to 64 ender pearls in a smithing table, then sneak + right-click to teleport forward. Perfect for tactical escapes or quick repositioning.
- Enderite Shield: Also chargeable with ender pearls. Sneak + block to teleport attackers away, giving you breathing room in a fight.
- Enderite Helmet: Prevents Endermen from becoming aggressive when you look at them. No more accidental staring contests.
- Enderite Elytra Chestplate: Fuse an Enderite chestplate with an elytra in the smithing table. You get both chest armor protection and flight capability in a single slot, saving inventory space.
- Enderite Shulker Box: A 9x3 inventory box that is fireproof, void-proof, and boasts higher blast resistance than a regular shulker box. It survives TNT blasts and even the void, making it the ultimate portable storage.
- Enderite Respawn Anchor: Charged with ender pearls instead of glowstone, this block allows you to set your respawn point in the End. No more long flights back from the Overworld.
- Enderite Bow and Crossbow: Both can hit Endermen normally, bypassing their projectile immunity. When enchanted with Infinity, the bow no longer requires arrows in your inventory (configurable).
Mod Integration and Compatibility
The Enderite Mod plays nicely with other popular mods. In versions 1.19.1 and above, it requires Architectury API and Cloth Config for full functionality. It integrates seamlessly with the Shulker Box Tooltip mod by MisterPeModder, so you can view box contents without opening them. For players still on 1.16.5, there is a dedicated Tinkers’ Construct addon that lets you forge Enderite tools using the Tinkers system, adding even more depth to your tool customization.
Configuration and Customization
Almost every feature can be tweaked via the config file. You can adjust ore generation (now datapack-driven), the smithing template drop rate, armor stats, and even whether Infinity bows consume arrows. This flexibility makes the mod a perfect fit for modpacks, where balance is key. Recent updates have also added armor trims support, so your Enderite gear can sport the same stylish patterns as vanilla armor.
Why You Should Try the Enderite Mod
Enderite breathes new life into the End dimension and gives you a reason to keep exploring long after you have defeated the Ender Dragon. The void-floating mechanics solve one of Minecraft’s oldest frustrations—losing your best items to the void—while the charged sword and shield introduce fun teleportation tricks. The Elytra Chestplate alone is worth the effort, merging two essential equipment pieces into one. Combined with the mod’s active development and wide version support (from 1.16.5 up to 1.21), it is a stable, feature-rich addition to any Forge or NeoForge setup. Just remember to bring TNT on your next End expedition, and prepare to upgrade your arsenal to a whole new level.
