No End
by Macdogg
No End blocks players from entering the End dimension, so a world stays on the Overworld and Nether until the server owner decides otherwise.
What it does
The mod is a datapack-style restriction: when a player tries to enter the End, the attempt is stopped automatically and the player is sent back to spawn. End portals still activate, but the entry is blocked at once, so the End cannot be reached by normal play. Keeping the final dimension closed locks away the End boss and the end-game progression that comes with it.
Because the restriction works through the world, it fits survival worlds that should stay within the Overworld and Nether, hardcore challenge worlds, and lore-based RPG servers where the End is forbidden content. It runs in singleplayer and multiplayer, and the other progression systems of the game are left untouched. Installation means placing the datapack in the world's datapacks folder and reloading the world with the reload command.
No End is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with one build, 1.0.0+mod for 1.21.10, released on 2025-12-03. Only the server needs the mod: players may join without it. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
End entry blocked
Attempts to enter the End are stopped, and the player is returned to spawn without reaching the dimension.
End portals disabled
End portals still activate, but the entry they lead to is blocked, so the End stays sealed.
Dragon Elytra kept out of reach
Because the End is closed, the Dragon Elytra and the end-game rewards behind it stay out of play.
Datapack reload
The restriction is applied from the world's datapacks folder and takes effect after a reload command.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners who want to keep the End closed and players who join those servers. Players on singleplayer worlds that use the datapack are also covered.
How it compares
Nether Start/Wither Challenge is an MIT-licensed option for 1.21.4 that changes the Nether start instead of closing the End. No End instead blocks the End outright and is released under All rights reserved. Unlock The End goes the other way, opening the End with All rights reserved and support for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11.
