My latest scheme is farming a full shulker box of trial keys, the current idea is to flood the mined-out Trial Chamber with Iron Golems to fight all the enemies for me and hopper minecarts will grab the keys, it'll totally work perfectly

I settled on making the secret room in the Ancient City the treasure room. The new Copper Golems will make the perfect inhabitants for the Ancient City center.

I forgot to post the final collection of block ideas I had for the End Update, which I might as well post since small hints of the actual update are popping up. There's one more idea I have for a structure, so I might show that off if I can build what it might look like using my custom texture pack.
Block of Enderite - Mineral storage block for Enderite, which has a small chance of sublimating if not waxed. One-way Glass - Glass crafted with Enderite with one translucent side and one opaque side. Entities can pass through the translucent side, but not the opaque side. Pusher Slabs - Pairs of slabs crafted with Enderite. If one slab is powered with redstone, the other slab slowly glides the other direction, pushing up to 12 blocks with it, until it tries to push 13 blocks or reaches the world border. Warp Modulator - Allows players to teleport throughout the End. Warp Modulators can be paired to each other by using Lodestone Compasses on each pair. Each teleport costs one Entderite Crystal charge from each Warp Modulator, with the cost increasing for every 2000 blocks separating the modulators. They explode if used in the Overworld or the End. End Wax Block - End Clumps can be placed on the ground like snow layers, which soften fall damage. End Clumps can also be used to wax blocks.

More Minecraft ideas, unrelated to the End Update ideas.
Redstone Lantern - Works like a Redstone Torch but is placed like a Lantern. Powering the block the Redstone Lantern is hanging from unpowers the lantern, allowing downward powering of redstone. Redstone Jack-O'-Lantern - Works like a Redstone Block but is broken by Pistons like a Pumpkin. Soul Jack-O'-Lantern, Lightning in a Bottle, placeable Nautilus Shells. Blue Nether Bricks - crafted from Warped Wart Block and Nether Bricks. Pale Gourd and Painted Pale Gourd - Instead of Pale Pumpkins growing in the Pale Garden, Pale Gourds grow and can be painted with dyes. Glow Ink Sacs can be applied to make the paint glow, but they don't emit light. Spritz - Water Elemental counterpart to the Blaze and Breeze. It floats on water and blows a giant bubble to surround and shield itself, then blows smaller bubbles that explode when they make contact with blocks or entities. Spritz Rods can be crafted into stationary bubbles that trap small entities and bounce back large entities without dealing damage. Wearing Feather Falling boots prevents the bubbles from popping when jumped on.

I developed a rudimentary texture pack to test my textures!... It could use some more work. Thankfully the process was easy

My last idea for biomes is the Fragmented Hills and Fragmented Peaks variant. These biomes would made of many small end islands floating high into the sky, with water and End Saltwater freezing in the latter biome. I also edited some previous textures I wasn't happy with. Details in Alt text.
Fan-made textures of blocks and items for a Minecraft End Update Enderite - a rare mineral that sublimates when exposed to air. What does it do? I dunno, but everyone knows the End will contain Enderite when ore is added to the End, and it will be pink/purple. Fallen Star - The End is so ancient, all of its stars have fallen from the sky. Meteor Craters will contain one Fallen Star and Meteoric Iron deposits but are extraordinarily rare. Fallen Stars are crafted into Shimmering Shards, which are the End's equivalent to Netherite. Obsidian Bricks and Chiseled Endstone Bricks. Mother-of-Enderpearl/End Nacre - A block crafted from 9 Enderpearls, which causes teleporting entities to teleport to it, rather than their intended destination. Ender Ghast - Seems like a good fit. It will teleport out of a player's sight if being looked at, unless it is releasing a fireball. The fireballs teleport hit entities upward to cause fall damage. Abandoned Dragon Nests - may be found at the top of some Fragmented Peaks.

My next idea for an End biome is the Petrified Forest. While the few trees remaining have turned to stone, End Amber contains small pieces of the End's plant life that can be restored when hydrated. Details in the Alt.
Fan-made textures for blocks and items in a Minecraft End Update Petrified Endwood - Wood textured Endstone which generates in Petrified Forests. End Amber - clumps that generate on the side of some Petrified End Wood blocks. End Algae - Strange scum that grows in deep, isolated crevasses in the End. Will grow on End Stone, acting like grass, or on End Saltwater. Enderwood Trees - Strange large tree-like lifeforms that grow from Endercorns. They grow fractally from new Endercorns that grow on the top of newly grown segments. Endercorns can be placed on the side of End Stone, allowing Enderwood trees to grow sideways as well. Enderwood - Not wood, but a combination of fibers and papery materials surrounding a waxy interior. Scrapping with an Axe hollows out the inside dropping End Clumps, leaving behind Enderwood Pipe. End Clumps - Used as a substitute for Planks when crafting Enderwood blocks and items. Enderwood Brambles - Leaves of the Enderwood Tree. Enderweiss - Flower related to Enderwood plants.

My idea for an #EndUpdate is Rejuvenate the End, where the player brings resources from the Overworld to restore life to the End's remains of ancient biomes. Here are blocks that could be found in the End Salt Flats, remains of ancient End lakes or oceans.
Textures for proposed Minecraft blocks and items End Salt Block - found in End Salt Flats, break into End Salt items. Effected by gravity and becomes End Saltwater when next to Water. End Salt - item dropped by End Salt Block, crafting 2x2 back into End Salt Block, and 3x3 into End Halite. Used to add Magenta trims to armor, maybe a potion brewing ingredient. End Saltwater - Causes entities not native to the End to teleport to nearby dry blocks after several seconds. Can be bucketed, but will become regular water in the Overworld or dry into End Salt Block in the Nether unless placed into a Cauldron. End Halite - Found as boulders at edges of End Salt Flats, crafted into End Salt Lamps. End Salt Lamps - Give off light level 10 and prevents nearby entities from teleporting when redstone powered. End Glass - smelted from End Salt Blocks, visually opaque, but allows light through (opposite of Tinted Glass). Ender Ice or Ender Jelly - result of End Saltwater freezing.

This is the device I use to disarm Pillagers. Crossbows have 465 durability, so you're gunna be waiting for a while, so lure a villager or show golem to sit opposite the armor stand so it works automatically. Don't use this on Pillagers with enchanted crossbows enchanted with Piercing or Unbreaking

Three of the towers are complete, so no more putting off capturing Pillagers to populate my partially restored Ancient City. For those who don't know, Pillagers' crossbows can break, rendering them completely passive. Thankfully I have a nearby Pillager-spawning site to source them from.

The center is complete (except for the hidden room), next up is restoring the northwest quadrant roads and towers to turn into the Pillager Village, then adding some automatic farms to give this place a real purpose

getting all the detail right makes the portal awkwardly large but I think I can get it right and it'll be worth it in the end

My Minecraft world's Ancient City has four of these towers in a single quadrant, so I designed them to look like Pillager Towers, and I'll repopulate with disarmed Pillagers. I finalized the city center design, only need to redesign the roads, then it's time for resource collection in survival!

For the Ancient City Restoration project, I decided to go with the second design for most of the pillars, but I redid the quartz pillar and like it much better now, so I'm using that design to replace the two pillars closest to the center, and I'm also using the same theme for the center itself.

Five pillars built in Minecraft. 1: Bamboo shaft with Deepslate and Bamboo capital/base. 2: Light Blue and Yellow Concrete shaft with Stained Terracotta pattern and Dark Oak and Tuff Brick capital/base. 3: Light Blue, Pink, and Yellow Stained Terracotta shaft and Quartz and Basalt capital/base. 4: Quartz and Sea Lantern shaft and Copper and Basalt capital/base. 5: Original Ancient City Pillar, fully restored (all Deepslate)
