Ars Dragongate
by ringoway
Ars Dragongate holds the magic of Ars Nouveau addons back until a player defeats the Ender Dragon, then releases it across the whole world at once.
What it does
Until the dragon falls, content from Ars Nouveau addons stays sealed. Gated items cannot be crafted, recipes do not resolve in crafting tables, furnaces or Ars machines, and attempts to cast are stopped with a message on screen. Machines and items stay dormant, GUIs refuse to open, and baubles, tools and foci cannot be used. Lore tooltips appear on sealed items, and holding Shift shows the details.
The gate is a single world-wide flag. When the Ender Dragon dies, the flag flips, an announcement sounds, and the change syncs to every client, so a single kill opens magic for the whole server. The gate fails open, so it cannot leave a world unplayable. Placing gated blocks is still allowed, which lets players set up before the seal breaks.
The gate works from the mod id, and the list of gated namespaces can be changed to lock other magic mods instead. Ars Dragongate requires Ars Nouveau and is published for NeoForge only, in one release: 0.1.0 for 1.21.1. The server and every player need the mod installed. The mod is all rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Gated crafting and recipes
Gated items are genuinely uncraftable, and recipes in tables, furnaces and Ars machines stay unresolved until the seal breaks.
Dormant machines and tools
Machines and items stay inactive, and baubles, tools and foci cannot be used while magic is sealed.
Single world-wide flag
Killing the Ender Dragon flips one world-global flag, syncs clients and announces the change with a sound.
Configurable gated namespaces
The gate follows the mod id, and the list of gated namespaces can be changed to lock other magic mods.

How it compares
Create: Ars Nouveau Compat is server-side only, all rights reserved and not open source, with NeoForge files for 1.21.1. Anti Magick: Ars Nouveau is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, also for 1.21.1. Ars Technic is client and server under the MIT License, but it is not open source. Ars Dragongate differs from these by holding magic back rather than adding to it, so addon content stays sealed until the dragon dies.
