There's more to a desert than an endless stretch of sand. Endless Dunes opens a new Minecraft: Java Edition dimension called Endless Hell, where pale dunes give way to oases, fossils and ruined settlements. Those scattered traces of life give players something to investigate instead of simply another landscape to cross.

The first downloadable datapack contains four biomes, six structures, three recipes and an advancement tree to guide exploration. It's built for Minecraft 1.21.1, and a launch-day hotfix repairs notes found in chests. This is an early invitation to wander a strange new place, with just enough buried history to make the next ridge worth climbing.
