End Portal Timer helps server owners control when players are able to access the End Portal and fight the Ender Dragon. You can set a time limit for when the portal will become active, preventing players from rushing to the End too quickly. When the portal is inactive, players attempting to use it will receive a customizable message informing them of when it will become available.

This plugin is ideal for server owners who wish to schedule a grand Ender Dragon battle with many players for a more immersive and challenging experience. It also caters to those who prefer a more leisurely pace and want to ensure that players enjoy the game's content without rushing through it.

Features

• Timezone-aware unlocking — Configure an exact date, time, and IANA timezone.
• Relative countdowns — Open the portal in seconds, minutes, hours, days, or a combined duration.
• Portal Frame protection — Eye of Ender placement is blocked until the timer finishes.
• Clear player feedback — Customizable countdown messages, sounds, and particles explain why the portal is locked.
• Optional holograms — Temporary countdown holograms are available when DecentHolograms is installed.
• Admin controls — Reload, set the date, start a countdown, view status, or toggle locking without restarting the server.
• Bypass permission — Allow trusted players to use locked frames when necessary.
• Restart-safe announcements — The plugin remembers whether the current unlock has already been announced.

Supported versions

• Minecraft 1.20.x
• Minecraft 1.21.x
• Minecraft 26.1.x
• Minecraft 26.2.x
• Java 17 or newer

The distributed JAR is built against the oldest supported API so the same file can be used across all supported release lines.

Commands

Countdown examples include 60s, 2m, 1h, 1d, and combined values such as 1d2h30m.

Permissions

Administrative permissions default to server operators. The help menu and tab completion show every available command, while execution remains protected by the permissions above.

Quick setup

1. Place the EndPortalTimer JAR in your server's plugins folder.
2. Start the server once to generate config.yml and messages.yml.
3. Configure unlock-schedule.date, unlock-schedule.time, and unlock-schedule.timezone, or run /ept countdown 1d.
4. Run /ept status to confirm the timer.

Example:

unlock-schedule:
  date: "12-31-2026"
  time: "20:00:00"
  timezone: "Asia/Manila"

Optional dependency

DecentHolograms enables temporary holograms when players interact with a locked portal frame. EndPortalTimer works normally without it.
