    Ran across an Ender Dragon in the Overworld ???
    (evidently someone is using some nonsense exploit).

    Killed it. I saw an End Portal / TP'd away - went about my business - crashed. Now I log in / crash to desktop (crash log below). Fine getting to the Hub.

    It looks like the log error is related to the farmland block (attached). Any assistance appreciated.

    You say that you found a dragon... In the over world, and someone spawned using an exploit? Do you know who the person exploiting this is?[DOUBLEPOST=1468307050][/DOUBLEPOST]I agree with you that the problem may be tied to the Biomes O' Plenty 'newfarmland' block.

    No idea who had it spawned - from what I can tell they were using trenches / rifts in the underground - i have an idea of where it is (didn't mark it) - there's a pillar of dirt / the dragon was underground.

    Interesting. Very interesting. I'm curious as to who did this and how the exploit works... Anyways, I've no idea how to fix the rendering of the Biomes o plenty 'NewFarmland' block, so I'm afraid I'm not able to help that much.

    I logged in and managed to TP away. Likely related to a nearby location that I flew past - and unrelated to the geniuses who are spawning EDs in the overworld. I'm fine now, but that location and that exploit likely need attention.

    Assuming you're online right now, you should create a ticket. The exploit might've somehow even corrupted (I highly doubt it) some blocks, though that's only one of the many things that may be a cause. Has anyone in chat said anything about seeing any other Ender Dragons?

    It appears that the block was sufficiently far away from you to have a few seconds to TP while the chunks loaded. For future reference, players experiencing this issue should first try to decrease their render distance to Tiny and attempt to teleport away (to spawn). This may not work if you are too close to the problematic block, but should resolve the majority of cases.

    I have updated your location to spawn so that you are able to log in again.

    For the dragon, well, there are some ways to spawn them in the overworld that are not even exploiting but you just have to be creative. It's a feature from one of the mods in combination with another one and with that you are able to spawn them whereever you want it to spawn.

    Please report back with the fact that you are able to play again or not.

    As posted earlier, he is able to play. I was just posting for others in a similar situation, so they do not have to wait for staff help.

    Yes, but like the wither I doubt that anyone wants EDs to be spawned in the overworld. Plus, it can be used for much trolling which may lead to angry people. I think that the way to spawn them wherever you want should be disabled. Also, as there is a chance in which the EDs can actually corrupt chunks, in which would be bad.

    Marking as done.
    If this should happen again we will check if we find a solution.
