Dragon Egg CTF
by icanhazsmard
Dragon Egg CTF adds a capture-the-flag style rule set to the dragon egg, so a server can keep the egg from being hidden, destroyed or duplicated.
What it does
The mod targets the dragon egg dropped after the End fight. Its egg item can be locked so it cannot be placed inside an Ender Chest, which stops a player from pulling the egg out of sight right after the fight. Settings control whether the egg glows while held or dropped, whether it is invulnerable to fire, cactus and despawning, and whether it can fall into the void. Each of these protections can be configured separately.
Anti-duplication covers the egg as well as modded storage items. The mod checks items inside bundles and shulker-style containers against the container rules, so an item cannot be stored in a way that bypasses the limit. Sand-based duplication schemes are blocked for the egg, while the normal sand supply stays unchanged. Dragon Egg CTF requires Fabric API and works with Universal Graves, which the author built to be compatible with it.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric only, for three game versions: 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, with 2.2.0+26.3 as the latest file. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source, though an issue tracker is public.
Key features
Egg locked from Ender Chests
The dragon egg cannot be inserted into an Ender Chest, so it stays in the open where other players can contest it.
Glowing egg
The egg can glow when it is dropped or held, making it simple to spot in the world or in a player's hand.
Egg protections
Fire, cactus, despawning and the void can each be turned off or on separately, keeping the egg safe from accidental loss.
Anti-duplication for storage
Modded storage items must follow container rules, so bundles and shulker-style items cannot hide extra copies of the egg.
