End Portal Recipe
by Serilum
With the End Portal Recipe mod, the end portal becomes a craftable block that players can place and move, and the recipe needs a dragon egg.
What it does
Players can craft an end portal in survival, pick up its frame blocks from a stronghold and place the portal in another spot, all through this server-side mod. The crafting recipe calls for five eyes of ender, one dragon egg and three end stone. Because the dragon egg is part of the recipe, new portals only become available after the ender dragon has been defeated.
The ender dragon is changed to always drop a dragon egg. On the first kill one egg goes onto the pedestal and one into the player's inventory. Portal frame blocks can still be taken from a stronghold and placed elsewhere, and the mod adds three config options for breaking frames and where they go.
Installation needs Collective, which is listed as a required dependency. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 29 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.3, under All rights reserved, and it is not open source. Public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker.
