End's Delight vs Ender's Delight

End's Delight and Ender's Delight are two different Farmer's Delight add-ons for cooking in the End, and they are easy to mix up. End's Delight cooks with Ender Dragon drops, two Dragon Legs, Raw Dragon Meat and Dragon Teeth per kill, adds Shulker Meat, Enderman Gristle and Endermite Meat from Knife kills, four End knives, the End Stove and four feasts. Ender's Delight grows four End crops on End Stone, Amberveils, Chorusflame, Ethereal Saffron and Void Pepper, and adds the End House, the Endstone Stove and meals served in Shulker Bowls, some of them giving Ender Phasing. They share no items, so both are able to run in one world.

Farmer’s Delight Mod Wiki Updated 5 min read

End’s Delight and Ender’s Delight are two separate Farmer’s Delight add-ons that both bring cooking to the End, and since the names are almost the same, they get mixed up a lot. End’s Delight is built around the Ender Dragon, Shulkers and Chorus Fruit, whereas Ender’s Delight adds four new End crops, a small house to find and meals that are served in a Shulker Bowl.

They were made by different people, and neither one lists the other as incompatible, so you’re able to run both in the same world. This page was checked against the 1.20.1 Forge version of each.

What It Adds

The two mods overlap in a few places, like both having their own stove and both using Shulkers, but most of what they add is different. The table puts them side by side before going into each one.

End’s Delight is the bigger of the two, with close to twice as many items, whereas Ender’s Delight is more focused on growing things and has been downloaded more. Neither of them needs anything apart from Farmer’s Delight to work.

End’s Delight

End’s Delight turns the Ender Dragon into food, as it will drop Dragon Legs, Raw Dragon Meat and Dragon Teeth every time it dies. You’ll also get meat from Shulkers, Endermites and Endermen if you kill them with a Knife, and on top of that there are four new knives, a stove, a few drinks and four feasts.

The Non Hatchable Dragon Egg is the strangest part of it, as you’ll craft it from Obsidian, End Crystals and a Dragon Tooth, and then crack it on a Cutting Board using a Nether Star as the tool. That gives you Liquid Dragon Egg and a Dragon Egg Shell, which two of the feasts are served in.

Ender’s Delight

Ender’s Delight is mostly about farming, and its four crops grow on End Stone out on the outer islands. Those are Amberveils, Chorusflame, Ethereal Saffron and Void Pepper Sprouts, and you’re able to plant all of them again on End Stone or Farmland once you’ve picked them.

Its meals come in a Shulker Bowl, which you’ll craft eight at a time from one Shulker Shell, and a couple of them will give you the mod’s own Ender Phasing effect. While it lasts you’ll teleport a few blocks away whenever something hits you, but rain and water will hurt you the same way they hurt an Enderman, so be careful with it.

How It Works With Farmer’s Delight

Both of them use the same parts of Farmer’s Delight, so a Cooking Pot on a stove will do most of the work, and a Cutting Board will cut things like Chorus Fruit into smaller pieces. Each one also has its own stove, the End Stove and the Endstone Stove, and they’ll both heat the pot just like the normal one.

Most of the new mob drops will only show up if you make the kill with a Knife, so you’ll want something like a Diamond Knife before the trip, and the Knives page has the other knife drops. The feasts work like Feasts in Farmer’s Delight too.

The End Stove is built from End Stone Bricks and Popped Chorus Fruit around a Campfire, whereas the Endstone Stove needs Obsidian and a bottle of Dragon’s Breath. That means you’ll only be able to make the second one after the dragon fight.

Getting the Ingredients

Almost everything comes from mobs or plants in the End, and the knife drops are where the two mods are most different. You’ll get both columns if you’re running the pair together.

End mob drops
Source End’s Delight Ender’s Delight
Enderman (Knife)Enderman Gristle, 35%Enderman Sight, always
Endermite (Knife)2 to 4 Raw Endermite Meat (Dried if burning)Mite Crust, always
Shulker (Knife)Shulker Meat, 90%Shulker Mollusk, always
Ender Dragon2 Dragon Legs, 5 to 7 Raw Dragon Meat, 3 to 5 Dragon Teeth (more with a Knife)Nothing extra
PlantsChorus Succulent in the End HighlandsAll four crops on End Stone in the outer islands

Watch out for Enderman Gristle though, as eating it raw will throw you up into the air and take 30% of your health, which can kill you if you’re already low. Cooking it into a sausage or a stew makes it safe, unless you eat them while sneaking.

Which One to Pick

End’s Delight is the one to pick if you’ll be fighting the Ender Dragon more than once, as most of its best food comes from the dragon and it has knives made for End mobs. Ender’s Delight is better if you’d rather have a farm in the End, since its crops can be planted again. If you can’t decide, it’s fine to install both, as they don’t share any items.

Best Picks

The strongest food comes from End’s Delight, as the dragon dishes give level III effects, whereas Ender’s Delight is better for cheap everyday meals. These are the ones most worth making from each.

The Dragon Tooth Knife is also worth making, as it deals 3.5 times its damage to Endermen, Endermites, Shulkers and the Ender Dragon. That makes it the best weapon to bring if you’re going back to the End to fight the dragon again.

Remember to carry some Chorus Flower Tea as well, since it will clear the Levitation that Shulker food leaves you with. It’s brewed in a Cooking Pot from a Ghast Tear and a Dried Chorus Flower.

Versions

End’s Delight is on the same version for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, whereas Ender’s Delight’s 1.21.1 version renames a few blocks, like the Void Pepper plant. The table shows the last file for each one.

FAQ

What’s the difference between End’s Delight and Ender’s Delight?
›

They’re two different add-ons by different authors, even though the names are almost the same. End’s Delight cooks with Ender Dragon, Shulker and Chorus drops and adds End knives, whereas Ender’s Delight adds farmable End crops, an End House and Shulker Bowl meals.

How do you get a Dragon Leg in End’s Delight?
›

The Ender Dragon will drop two Dragon Legs every time it’s killed, along with Raw Dragon Meat and Dragon Teeth. You’re able to bring it back with End Crystals to get more, and a Smoker will turn each leg into a Smoked Dragon Leg for the feast.

What is the Dragon Tooth used for in End’s Delight?
›

Dragon Teeth are used to upgrade a Dragon Egg Shell Knife into the Dragon Tooth Knife at a Smithing Table, which needs a Netherite Upgrade as well. You’ll also need one to craft the Non Hatchable Dragon Egg, along with Obsidian and End Crystals.

Can you use End’s Delight and Ender’s Delight together?
›

Neither mod blocks the other, and each uses its own items, stove and recipes, so they’ll sit side by side in one world. You’ll end up with two stoves and both sets of knife drops.
