Who owns the dragon egg
by ThirtyFangs
Who owns the dragon egg is a mod that records which player holds the dragon egg and announces that player to the server, and only the server needs to run it.
What it does
A datapack tracks the dragon egg whether it sits in a player's inventory or Ender Chest. Once a player has held it, the server broadcasts a message with that player's name, saying who owns the egg and where it is kept. If the owner is offline, the message stays anonymous until that player logs back in.
The mod works on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and is also offered as a data pack. It is published for 1.21 – 26.3 with 17 release versions, the latest being 1.1+mod for 26.3. Only the server must run it, while players may add it without any effect.
Key features
Possession announcements
The server tells everyone who holds the dragon egg and how long they have had it, once the possession reaches 10 minutes.
Inventory and Ender Chest detection
The datapack checks the player's inventory and Ender Chest, so storing the egg in either place still counts as ownership.
Online and offline owners
An owner who logs off keeps the egg claim, and the broadcast stays anonymous until that player returns.
Named messages
Broadcasts name the owner and the storage location, so the whole server sees the holder without a command.

Use cases
Survival servers
Server owners who want a public record of the dragon egg holder can run the mod without asking players to install anything.
Who it’s for: Server owners who run survival worlds and want announcements about the dragon egg holder, and players who enjoy competitive egg hunts on a shared server.
How it compares
Dragon Reborn is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, with files for 1.20 – 26.1.1. Only the server needs it, and players can join without it. Dragon Egg Recipe is also not open source and works on the server alone, but its files cover 1.16 – 26.3 and it changes crafting rather than announcing ownership.
