Disable End Portals
by Depixelation
Disable End Portals lets a server owner switch off the End portal teleport, the Eye of Ender stronghold locating and portal frame filling through game rules.
What it does
Three independent game rules control the End. One toggles whether Eye of Ender throws locate the stronghold, one toggles whether a right-clicked portal frame can be filled with an Eye of Ender, and one toggles whether End Portal blocks teleport entities. All three default to true, which keeps the End enabled as in vanilla.
Setting a rule to false removes that path to the End without changing the dimension itself. Players can still reach the End by other means if the server allows it, so the rules only affect the portal and Eye of Ender routes. Because the setting lives in game rules, it can be changed in play without restarting the world.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. It requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric across 14 release versions, 1.19.4 – 1.21.5, under CC0 1.0 Universal, which places the code in the public domain. The source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Stronghold locating toggle
A game rule decides whether Eye of Ender throws can locate the stronghold that holds the End portal.
Portal frame filling toggle
A separate game rule decides whether right-clicking an End portal frame with an Eye of Ender can fill it.
Portal teleport toggle
The third game rule decides whether End Portal blocks teleport entities into the End dimension.
Independent options
Each of the three rules works on its own, so a server can disable one route and leave the others in place.

How it compares
No End is server-side only, uses the MIT License and is published for Fabric for 26.1 – 26.1.1, a range that does not overlap this mod's. PortalNuhUh is also server-side only and Fabric-only, but it targets 26.1.2 and is under a custom license. Simple End Disable is open source under the MIT License and runs server-side only, but it is a Quilt mod for 1.19.2 – 1.21.1. Relative End Portals: Immersive Portals Edition is for Fabric 1.19 – 1.21 and needs the server while clients stay optional, a different environment from this mod's.
