On the Axolotl servers the first Ender Dragon is not just another boss. It is supposed to be an event, with everybody there.
prop spelled the custom out during Season 2: “we always wait and do it together as an event” 1. That mattered because Akshay had gone and broken the tradition, and prop’s disappointment came out as a threat, that he would go off to a singleplayer world and defeat the dragon himself 2. The warm-up to this is in The First Dragon Is Saved for Everyone.
On ASMP Earth the tradition became a rule. In early September 2023, prop told players “dont go into the end” 3 and explained that “we will do it together by inviting everyone” 4. The End was restricted for the time being: “we are saving that for later” 5. The result is told in Four Players Beat the Dragon Together.
