| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Instant portal lock | Uses PortalCreateEvent to replace the portal blocks with Red Stained Glass the exact instant they are generated, eliminating the split‑second window where players could slip through. |
| Unbreakable, protected glass | The red glass blocks are unbreakable while the lock is active. Block‑break and explosion events are cancelled for those blocks. |
| Customizable lock duration | Set the lock length in config.yml (default 5 minutes). |
| Visual & audio feedback | Players see a bright red “THE END IS LOCKED” title, hear a dragon growl, and enjoy continuous particle effects (Dragon’s Breath, End Rod, Portal). |
| Minute‑by‑minute countdown | Chat messages inform players of the remaining lock time. |
| Data persistence | The lock state survives server restarts – the portal stays locked until the timer expires. |
| Simple commands | /lockend – manually lock, /unlockend – force unlock, /lockendinfo – view remaining time. |
| Permission‑based | Only operators (or lockend.use) can invoke the commands. |
| Zero‑lag design | All logic runs on the main thread only during the portal‑creation event and a lightweight scheduled task; no heavy loops or async operations. |
