3d Biomes In The End

The End needs an update. But at the same time it's point is for it to be an eerie wasteland. I believe there's a compromise. The key would be the recent introduction of 3d biomes.

With 3d biomes the eerie wasteland would still remain, at the y-level of the main island. But at much higher and/or lower y-levels there could be new biomes. Perhaps even completely out of sight due to thick fog. The biome of the main island (perhaps called "End Waste") could do with very slight variation in y-level and generation as an update, while the new biomes could be something completely new.

    This goes well with my newest post for a new end biome. I’m all in.

    This Idea is great! One thing that must be considered is the limited y range of the end. The end islands could not be lower then the current islands without extending the minimum y boundary. A concept I have is the end extending infinitely in all directions (y included), however this would require a complete rework of the chunk system, but it would significantly lower the amount of data stored in a single chunk (if chunks remained 16 block boundaries). This could also be applied to the nether, with vast expanses and twisting tunnels winding far up beyond the nether roof (old chunks would keep the nether roof at least in JE because of builds). This would not need to be applied to all dimensions -- the overworld could remain the same.
