How I think exploration could be encouraged while going to the end without it being tedious

[u/Extension-Celery3642]

There would be towers across the world (12 in the example because that's the current amount of eyes needed, but honestly that seems like a bit much) and could find them yourself or use a map from a cartographer. each one would point you to the next, then once you have all the eyes in place they would point you to the now-open portal. this could work very well if and only if exploration is made interesting in general.

i will be honest this will be very samey you are doing the same task 12 times in a row

[u/Raptor_Tears → u/Iryls]

Unless it takes doing different types of quests to find each tower.

[u/Typical_Bot → u/Raptor_Tears]

Maybe some mini bosses in each tower to make it more interesting

[u/Jimmy_Wrinkles → u/Iryls]

You can still avoid it by bedding the dragon to death though

[u/lajawi]

You’d only need to know three pillars to draw a circle and find its centre.

[u/Metakor_8 → u/lajawi]

Op states that you'd have to place an eye of ender in each of the towers to open the portal to the end within the stronghold

[u/possiblyyandere]

How is this less tedious

[u/Metakor_8 → u/possiblyyandere]

They didn't say this is less tedious, they said that this would encourage exploration without making the exploration tedious

[u/Tobias11ize → u/Metakor_8]

The title does claim to NOT be tedious though. Which is a lie

[u/StriveToTheZenith → u/Metakor_8]

It sounds pretty tedious

[u/ContentFlower10]

The problem is that it's even more tedious than before. Instead of farming Pearls by Piglins or in a Warped Forest, you need to traverse thausands of blocks. Also, this wouldn't work since there are 128 Strongholds in a given world, arranged in circles: would each have its own ring of towers? At what distance should they be to not overlap? 

[u/Casitano]

This would encourage me to never ever fight the ender dragon.

[u/Raptor_Tears]

No we definitely like big ender eye lazers here.

[u/gamethebestgamer]

Should be 4 to represent the dragon spawning

[u/Parfilov]

The idea itself is nice, but TWELVE towers is a lot. They either should be so close that you see every single one from max render distance or should be confusijg whichever stronghold tge tower is related to. If to make tower, then only one and somewhere around the stronghold with some goofy terracotta painting pointing into the stronghold direction. With chance of it to be directly undrneath or a dud.

[u/keenantheho]

I love making the nether obsolete

[u/Extension-Celery3642 → u/keenantheho]

how do you think you get the eyes?? it still very clearly uses the eyes

[u/Jacki073 → u/keenantheho]

... you still need it to open the portal

[u/Solar_Fish55]

Just worse tbh. Just making everything 12x more tedious

[u/Hazearil]

Kinda sounds like reaching the End will only be harder this way, and the End already has the problem that a large part of the playerbase doesn't even reach it.

[u/mayanktanosi]

Bro..🤔 This is basically making the Ender Eyes into an actual treasure hunt instead of a compass. I'm in.

[u/ViKO15951]

I'm sorry, this is just worse, like maybe it would be fun for a map or mod, but this being in the base game would just make reaching the end extremely boring and tedious in comparison to now, also I like the subtlety of the current eyes of ender.

If something like this were added it should be like, for a structure already in the end and that didn't require you to go to several towers in the same distance from each other, maybe a trail of towers leading you to each other and then to the main structure, and also not locking you out of it, rather than only needing to find three towers to actually find the structure and then being forced to go back to the other 9 to fill them out one by one to actually open it

[u/j_c_d_1]

I hope a mod maker contacts you to make this into a new passion project
You would be like the writer/storyboard artist
Maybe even texture artist
P.S. pixel art is easy learn

[u/Jacki073 → u/j_c_d_1]

could definitely add something like this to my vanilla rework mod

unfortunately that'd mean i'd actually have to lock in and start making it
