Unlocking the Ultimate Gear: Elektrosonikai’s Enderite Upgrade Datapack
If you have ever felt that Netherite gear, while impressive, still leaves something to be desired, then this datapack is about to redefine your endgame. Elektrosonikai’s Enderite Upgrade transforms the familiar progression of Minecraft by introducing two entirely new tiers of equipment: the unbreakable Enderite and the devastatingly powerful Void tier. It is not just about better swords and pickaxes; it adds custom 3D models, fully enchanted items, boss-summoning recipes, and even a way to retrieve spawners. Whether you are a seasoned builder, a redstone engineer, or a combat enthusiast, this datapack injects fresh purpose into the late game.
What the Datapack Adds
At its core, the Enderite Upgrade allows you to take any Netherite-tier weapon, armor, or tool—along with other durable items—and elevate them to an unbreakable Enderite version. The Enderite Helmet and Chestplate are crafted directly in a Crafting Table, while the remaining pieces are forged in a Smithing Table. After the 1.20 update, you will use an amethyst shard as the smithing template for these upgrades. From there, select items can be pushed even further to the Void tier, again using the Smithing Table with a netherite upgrade smithing template. Void items are expensive but boast unique abilities and animated 3D models, provided you have Optifine or CIT Resewn installed to see the custom armor properly.
Enderite and Void Arsenal
Every Enderite and Void piece comes fully enchanted straight from the crafting grid, saving you the grind of an enchanting setup. The real magic, however, lies in their special effects:
- Void Falling Guillotine: Right-click to teleport up to 9 blocks ahead through air, water, or lava, at the cost of a portion of your health.
- Void Bowcaster: Fires primed TNT with a fuse of 80 instead of arrows, and ghast fireballs in place of spectral arrows.
- Void Golem Launcher: Spawns an iron golem for just 1 iron block, making village protection four times cheaper than the vanilla method.
- Staff of Unmaking: Retrieves spawners and multiplies netherite scrap from ancient debris when you right-click with your head 2 blocks from the target.
- Void Inferno Staff of Unmaking: Can also pick up end portal frames, budding amethysts, and end crystals.
- Void Scythe: Grants 5 seconds of regeneration upon a kill while held in either hand.
- Enderite Katanas: Dual wielding two grants speed and jump boost.
- Dragonswords: Provide speed and jump boost in either hand, with a greater boost when holding two.
- Claymore: Gives a strength effect while held.
Progression and Crafting Recipes
Before you can wield these legendary items, you will need to gather a host of rare materials. The journey begins long before you face the Ender Dragon. Keep an eye out for crying obsidian in ruined portals and bastion remnants—it is essential for crafting respawn anchors, which in turn are an ingredient in Dragon Eggs (the datapack’s “Enderite Ingots”). Shipwrecks lead you to buried treasure maps for the Heart of the Sea, needed for Silk Touch enderite tools and the katana. Enchanted golden apples serve as the upgrade material for Fortune IV enderite tools, while ghast tears, ender pearls, blaze rods, and glass combine to create end crystals, which feed into the Chorus Plant (Chorus Chrystal) recipe, another precursor to Dragon Eggs.
For those looking to easily manage mods and datapacks, the foxygame.net launcher offers a convenient, modern interface where you can download and install add-ons right from the menu, making it simple to try out Elektrosonikai’s Enderite Upgrade without digging through file folders.
Amethyst geodes become a critical resource, providing amethyst blocks for the Chorus Plant recipe, budding amethyst for Silk Touch void tools and several Void weapons, and amethyst shards as the smithing template for enderite gear. Wither skeleton skulls, beacons, ancient debris, totems of undying, and spawners all weave into the complex crafting tree that ultimately unlocks Budding Amethyst and End Portal Frames—the keys to Fortune V tools and the most destructive Void equipment.
Inferno Bosses and Unique Drops
The datapack introduces spawn eggs for nearly every mob, crafted with a dragon egg and a mob-specific ingredient. Some eggs create inferno boss variants, which wield magma-themed armor and weapons. Defeating these bosses is the only way to obtain the most powerful items in the pack, including inferno weapons with animated 3D models. Two bonus bosses—the Dark Lord (dragon egg + spawner + beacon) and the riptide Inferno Drowned (dragon egg + spawner + block of copper)—offer an extreme challenge. Boss weapon drops hover around 10% (15% with Looting V), but be warned: attack speed does not affect mobs, so melee bosses can strike with devastating speed.
Known Issues and Tips
A few quirks exist: custom enchantment glints do not work, and in versions before smithing templates, the Enderite Katana recipe may not appear in the recipe book, though you can still craft it manually. The recipe page is slightly outdated—currently, a Heart of the Sea smiths the riptide Enderite Trident, an enchanted golden apple the loyalty variant, budding amethyst the Void Trident of Riptide, and an end portal frame the Void Trident of Loyalty. Always check the changelogs on Planet Minecraft if recipes seem broken, and report any persistent issues to the creator, though fixes may take time.
Conclusion
Elektrosonikai’s Enderite Upgrade is a sprawling, ambitious datapack that rewards exploration and resourcefulness. It turns the endgame into a multi-layered quest for unbreakable tools, teleporting weapons, and inferno boss battles. While the recipe complexity and occasional compatibility hiccups might intimidate newcomers, the sheer creativity and power of Void-tier items make the effort worthwhile. If you crave a fresh challenge and a reason to revisit every corner of your world, this datapack delivers an experience that feels almost like a new Minecraft expansion.
