No Creative Ender Chests
by danbrown
No Creative Ender Chests turns off Ender Chest access for players in Creative mode, while Ender Chests keep working in survival.
What it does
The mod disables Ender Chests for players who are in Creative mode and leaves them untouched for everyone else. A server that runs several worlds, such as a survival world next to a Creative test map, can allow Creative building there without the chest contents following players into that map. Items cannot be stashed through Ender Chests as a workaround for bringing gear into a Creative test map from survival worlds.
The author describes the reason as a common problem: the Ender Chest inventory is shared between worlds, so a player could carry items into a test map by way of the chest. Blocking Ender Chest use in Creative mode closes that route. The mod works on both client and server, so the server and every player need it.

This mod disables Ender Chests only if a player is in Creative mode. A very specific use case. Well, long story. I have a server with multiple worlds running, one of the worlds is a test map where players are allowed to use Creative mode and WorldEdit there. Happens that no matter what I do, the Ender Chest inventory…
