Scaled Dragon Fight 🌠

A lightweight server-side Fabric mod that dynamically scales the Ender Dragon's health based on the number of players in The End — now with support for delayed initial spawns and XP bar countdowns.

No installation is needed on the client — just drop it into your server's mods folder and configure it to your liking.
