Dragons Curse
by pinecraft77
Dragons Curse is a server-side Fabric mod that keeps players out of the outer End islands and Elytra flight until the Ender Dragon is defeated.
What it does
Until a player has defeated the Ender Dragon, the mod blocks access to the outer End islands and stops Elytra gliding there. Once the dragon is defeated, the restriction lifts for that player and the Elytra is no longer removed. The mod is built for servers that want progression gated behind the dragon fight, and it can be used on survival servers, RPG progression servers and economy-balanced gameplay.
Dragons Curse runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. Server owners can set the radius and the messages shown to players, and permission nodes allow chosen accounts to bypass the restriction. Interface text is available in more than ten languages. Files are published for Fabric only, with builds for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, and the mod is also available for Paper. It requires Fabric API. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Outer End access gate
Players cannot reach the outer End islands or glide with an Elytra there until they have defeated the Ender Dragon.
Elytra removal before the dragon fight
Players who have not defeated the dragon lose their Elytra in the outer End, so the gate applies to flight as well as travel.
Configurable radius and messages
Server owners choose the restricted radius and how the warning messages behave for players who approach it.
Permission bypass
Permission nodes let selected players or staff pass the outer End restriction on a server.
Multi-language support
Messages are translated into more than ten languages for players on the server.

How it compares
Personal End is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, so it covers an earlier range than Dragons Curse. Ender Dragon Destroys End Island is also server-side only, but it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 26.3 under All rights reserved. DragonHRT is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 under a custom license, and it runs on client and server, so players must install it as well.
