How to Prevent Portal Collapse and Stabilize End Portals

End Portals in this mod remain fragile until players enter the End and defeat the Ender Dragon. Managing player positions is vital to keeping the gateway open.

Keeping the Portal Open Before Entry

1. Keep all contributing players within the 16-block activation radius while the gateway is active.

2. Avoid stepping away from the portal room before anyone enters. If any contributor moves beyond the radius, an amethyst break sound plays, a beacon deactivation sound triggers, and the portal immediately closes.

3. If the portal closes due to someone wandering off, simply have all contributors step back inside the 16-block radius to reactivate it.

Maintaining Portal State and Permanent Stabilization

Once your team prepares to cross into the End:

1. Send at least one contributing player through the portal into the End dimension.

2. The portal will stay open continuously back in the Overworld as long as at least one contributor remains alive in the End.

3. Battle and slay the Ender Dragon as a group.

4. Once the dragon is defeated, a broadcast announces that End Portals are permanently stabilized. From that moment on, all End Portals across the world revert to vanilla behavior, allowing anyone to enter freely without distance or contributor checks.
