End Pickaxe

End Pickaxe adds a single item, a pickaxe that can break End Portal Frames in survival mode. Vanilla frames cannot be removed once placed, so a misplaced portal stronghold stays that way. Holding the End Pickaxe is the only way to break a frame, and every other tool still leaves frames unbreakable, as in vanilla. Breaking a frame returns the frame itself as an item, and an Eye of Ender placed inside it drops too. When a frame breaks, the End Portal blocks around it disappear and the portal closes cleanly rather than hanging in place.

The item works like a regular pickaxe on every other block, and the rest of the world stays vanilla. The mod adds no new blocks, recipes or config options that change how digging works. The pickaxe has 2031 durability and is fire resistant. Efficiency speeds up breaking frames, and at Efficiency V a frame takes about half a second. In creative mode, frames broken this way leave no drop, so builders are not held back. End Pickaxes generate as rare loot in End City treasure chests, at about a 2 percent chance per chest.

End Pickaxe is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.21.1 only. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and the server alone runs it. Fabric API is optional on Fabric. The code is released under the MIT License, and the project is not open source in the sense of publishing its full source tree.
