The Hungering Portal
The End portal doesn’t simply open anymore — it hungers. Before anyone can step through, it must be fed: a ritual of rare offerings laid at the frame and witnessed by a gathering of players. Only then does the way open… to a far deadlier End.
Requirements
Section titled “Requirements”- Minecraft 26.2, Fabric with Fabric API
- Works installed on the server alone (clients can be vanilla); install on clients too for the config screen.
Download
Section titled “Download”The ritual
Section titled “The ritual”Bring the portal what it craves and offer each one up by dropping it at the frame:
- A Trident, a Netherite Block, a Sniffer Egg, an Enchanted Golden Apple
- A Totem of Undying, a Beacon, a Mace
- Sixteen Wither Roses, a Conduit, and a Zombie Head
With every offering placed and enough players present as witnesses, the portal opens. Fall short and it grows impatient — it seals itself and hands your offerings back.
A harder End
Section titled “A harder End”Beyond the portal waits a reworked, multi-phase Ender Dragon — five phases with crystal-fueled revivals that turn the old victory lap into a real test for the group that opened the way. (The End fight is derived from RogueCraft, CC BY-SA — credit to MonoCode.)
Details
Section titled “Details”- The number of players required to open the portal is server-configurable, with an in-game config screen for operators.
- Ships as a datapack-in-jar plus a mixin that suppresses the vanilla fight, so nothing double-triggers.
- Fully localized per player from the server side, so even vanilla clients read it in their own language. English and Traditional Chinese are included.
