#cancelled
If you're a server owner looking to take back The End for your own purposes, nefarious or otherwise, then you've come to the right place. No more will that pesky dragon bother you or your creations in The End, or any other world you choose.
How it works:
Dragon Cancel takes advantage of the
NBTAPI provided by the lovely tr7zw to edit the
level.dat file contained in any existing world folder you've specified
Specifically, it changes the value of
PreviouslyKilled to
true, so that when a player is teleported to
The End for the first time, the dragon and its portal does not spawn. It will also quite literally cancel any attempts at the Enderdragon
EntitySpawnEvent in that world.
Before
The Ender Dragon spawns in the End with its bedrock portal, and the health bar at the top of the screen shows its health (not depicted).
After
Because DragonCancel changes a value in the world file, the Ender Dragon cannot spawn, and neither does the bedrock portal. Not advised for survival worlds.
Really, it's that easy.
The best part is that this will continue to work even if you remove the plugin from your server (although, it will only cancel new spawns in worlds added to the config while the plugin is loaded).
Instructions:
1. Create the world you want to cancel the dragon in.
2. Stop the server.
3. Add the
Dragon Cancel plugin to your server.
3. Add the
exact name of the world folder to the
config.yml file (you can create it, see example config below). Be sure to add quotes around it, and if you're cancelling multiple worlds, separate each entry with a comma.
4. Start your server.
Caveats:
The plugin will work on any worlds that are in the root server folder. However, it will not work on worlds that are created after the server is started.
The world that you want to cancel the dragon in MUST be created and exist first. It cannot create the
level.dat for you.
Example:
config.yml in plugins/dragonCancel
worlds: ["world_the_end", "spawn"]
-
world_the_end - The End, where the dragon naturally no longer spawns.
-
spawn - The Overworld, for if you don't want a dragon to be able to spawn there (for whatever reason).
