🥚 XfeaturesDragonEgg

📝 Description

XfeaturesDragonEgg is a comprehensive utility plugin for Minecraft servers that introduces advanced tracking, protection, and visual enhancements for the highly coveted Dragon Egg. No more lost or stolen eggs!

🛡️ Container protection: Prevent players from hiding the Dragon Egg in Ender Chests, Shulker Boxes, Bundles, Dispensers, Furnaces, and more. It can only be stored in standard Chests or Trapped Chests.
📍 Advanced tracking: Always know where the Dragon Egg is! Track it in player inventories, chests, placed blocks, or even if it's dropped on the ground.
✨ Visual effects: Players carrying the Dragon Egg emit a unique pink glowing effect and beautiful End Rod particles.
🛡️ Damage immunity: The Dragon Egg (as a dropped item) is completely immune to fire, lava, explosions, cactus damage, and it will never despawn!

✨ Key features

Container restriction: Fully configurable list of blocked container types.
Persistent tracking: The egg's location and state are saved even after a server restart.
Dynamic visual effects: Unique aesthetics for the player possessing the Dragon Egg.
Dropped item protection: Comprehensive anti-damage and anti-despawn mechanics for the Dragon Egg item.
Full message customization: All notifications and interface text can be changed in the configuration.
Easy management: Intuitive commands for administrators to track the egg and reload configurations.
