No Strongholds / No End
by AntDev
No Strongholds / No End stops the game from generating stronghold structures, so the End portal room is not placed in new worlds.
What it does
The mod keeps strongholds from generating in newly explored chunks, which removes the End portal route that depends on them. It works alongside most worldgen mods and datapacks that change the vanilla stronghold structure, and it can be removed to let strongholds generate naturally again. Servers that need a stronghold later can add the structure manually through a datapack. Installation is a server-side step: only the server requires the mod, and clients can join without it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, in 26.2 and earlier builds covering 1.21.11 – 26.2, under the MIT License, and the code is not open source.
Key features
Stronghold generation disabled
New chunks no longer place strongholds, so the End portal room stays unreachable by its usual path.
Works with worldgen datapacks
It coexists with most datapacks and mods that modify the vanilla stronghold structure.
Manual re-enable
Strongholds can be added back later by placing the structure manually through a datapack in the server's datapack order.

How it compares
Infinite Stronghold is server-side too, with files for 1.21 – 26.2 under the MIT License and not open source. Disable Dimensions is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and covers 1.21 – 26.3, which also removes whole dimensions instead of only strongholds.

What the author says
It should work with most worldgen mods/datapacks that modify the vanilla stronghold structure as long as the datapack is placed above both 'vanilla' and the worldgen/structure datapack If you wish to enable access to the end later, you will have to manually add the structure using
