Hello, I am brand new to creating datapacks and I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of how to either disable the ability to place an ender eye in a portal frame, or disable the ability to travel through the portal. Preferrably both honestly.
I'm not looking for someone to give me the exact code, just help me figure it out.
I am brand new to data packs as I mentioned earlier, but I have coding experience as well as Minecraft plugin development experience, but wanted to dip my feet into data packs, and thought this would be a fun way. Thank you!

Well there's an overly complex way that technically achieved what you want, or there's the easy way that produces the same result but isn't exactly what you asked for
The latter is just a matter of running a full command at all players periodically that replaces nearby end portal frames with air or bedrock or something

hmm, there isnt a way to detect the event where the portal frame changes from empty to filled and just cancel it?

Not directly
You would have to detect the player placing the eye of ender, raycast to find the portal block, and fill the area a around that with air, replacing end portal blocks

dang data pack developers have it rough huh

Or another thing I found out you can do is use an advancement to detect entering an end portal block, which triggers before you go through the portal. Then you could do something like tp the player away or remove the portal

ohh that sounds a lot more preferrable honestly
trail holly
But that is a bit finicky
Later I can maybe send you the file I used for it, because I actually had two cases to make it more reliable

i'd appreciate that a lot, thank you!!
