end astronomico

Proposal to transform The End into an astronomical galaxy called Via Final, with the central island as its core. A purple sun orbits 188 blocks from the portal, while outer islands sit at 273 blocks.

The sun follows an orbit inclined at 22.5 degrees. When passing between the player and the outer islands, it creates a 19.5-minute eclipse with a purple glow, best viewed at 15 chunks render distance.

Events include V eclipses (sun descending) and I eclipses (sun ascending). After a 3-hour 54-minute orbit following an eclipse, the orbit shifts to 11.25 degrees for a cooldown orbit with no events. This establishes a predictable cycle of 7 hours and 48 minutes between total eclipses.

At 27,000 blocks, the Via Final terrain stops generating, leading into intergalactic space. The nearest galaxy, Via Inicial, lies 230 million blocks away for extreme exploration. Far in the void, distant black holes distort light without destroying blocks, adhering to Mojang principles while giving The End an epic astronomical depth.
