Ender Dragon Prime

The datapack reworks the basic dragon battle with a set of default settings meant for single player, and most parts of the fight can be adjusted. Server owners can switch to a stricter preset through a command function, and the author describes the result as an unfair fight rather than a balanced one. Attacking the dragon with enough aggression toggles more Endermen to spawn on the main island, and the dragon perches on the central pillar at regular intervals.

The mod is built for multiplayer servers and for players who want a harder End. It tracks an anger level that rises by a set percentage for each hit and every few seconds, and at 100 percent the dragon releases a large explosion. Players who stay behind obsidian cover take less damage, while those without cover can be destroyed in one hit unless they follow the protected positions. Ender Dragon Prime is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Only the server needs to run it, and players can join without installing it. It is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only and is not open source.
