What is this mod?
This is an extremely simple mod that requires the player to fight and defeat the wither to progress in the game. When you defeat the wither, you will them be able to travel to the end through the portal or by other means. If the player hasn't met the requirements to defeat the wither to get the advancement, they won't be able to enter the end dimension by any normal means. The mod levitates the player up to prevent any accedental deaths from lava under end portals in the stronghold if the player tries to enter the portal before getting the advancement. This mod will also tell the player that they cannot enter the end yet with a message on their actionbar. A simple mod to slow down progression in the story.
