END UPDATE IDEAS (Inspirations with Nullscape Datapack and Teleportation)

NULLSCAPES IDEA

I love the current vision for the End Update that the devs have! The idea of leaving the End desolate is an amazing idea! I believe that the Nullscapes data pack by Stardust Labs conveys this desolate end vision excellently, with its more vertical & erratic generation. I hope you can get some inspiration from this data pack for any future end changes, especially when it comes to terrain generation!

TELEPORTATION IDEA

When it comes to the end, teleportation is a well known theme, especially with Ender Pearls, Chorus Fruits, End Gateways, & even shulkers. Even so, the Nether is the primary dimension players use to transport. Here are some ideas for a few end-themed blocks to further add to the teleportation idea in the end:

Chorus Rift- A rare naturally generating, uncraftable block similar to the End Gateway, which safely teleports entities to a random location within ~1024 blocks.

Swapper- ONLY WORKS IN THE END, very expensive to craft. Can be linked to another Swapper to teleport entities between them with either a large range or any distance. This block would make the end far more interesting to explore.

Ejector- ONLY WORKS IN THE END, very expensive to craft, & rarely naturally generated. Teleports entities on it to the overworld, using the entities' position in the end. This block along with the Swapper can allow for extremely long distance travel, that even travelling through the nether would take too much time, and it is unreliable for short distance travel.

    The best ideas for an End Update I've read. And still using the nether for faster transportation is useful not only because it's cheaper but also to get to the end portal or to connect shorter distances because it's faster to go trough the nether than getting to the end and back. I love this!

    I think it would also be cool if, similar to how 1 block in the nether are 8 in the overworld, the ejector teleported you to a higher Y in the overworld.

    One important detail with the Swapper and Ejector idea is that they only work in the end. Having the swapper work in any other dimension would break the game completely, but if it only worked in the End, which is supposed to be a desolate place, that would help add more reasons to visit the end and improve the gameplay experience. 

    The idea of restricting blocks to specific dimensions is not new, as seen with the respawn anchor and bed. I hope that Mojang can create mobs and resources that can only be farmed to the End, just like they did in the Nether, with Piglin Bartering, Blazes, and Magma Cubes. One idea for a resource is more End-themed building blocks. The End only has three different kinds of blocks available to build with: End Stone (Bricks), Purpur Blocks and Obsidian, so having more options for tones could help players build a more end-themed base without having to resort to using blocks from other dimensions.

    I believe having the Ejector teleport to the same Y-coordinate could improve the skill ceiling in using the Ejector because it adds risk to the player by punishing players who just place it down without any setup, and it can also reward players for setting up the transportation properly by giving them more freedom of movement.
