So I have tried to find an answer and I am not having any luck. I built an ender dragon farm in the end using a combination of RFTools and Astral Sorcery. Everything works great, except that when I try to trigger a re-spawn from the overworld using my RFTools screen' button I am not able to get it to re-spawn.

The set-up is very simple, I have a button that will trigger end crystals to be placed on the 4 sides of the end portal. If I do this from the end, it works great, re-spawning the dragon no problems. If I trigger it with the button from my screen in the Overworld, I can wait up to 30 min and nothing happens. If I travel to the end after I trigger from overworld, however, I can see the animation of the rays coming from the crystals to respawn the pillars/cages/crystals but then they stop and restart. After the animation restarts the summoning takes place.

Any ideas? Is the Ender Dragon coded so it will not spawn unless there are players present in The End? Is there a workaround for it?

Ooh that’s a tough one. It might well be hardcoded. Is the whole area in which the dragon spawns chunkloaded?

Well that is the weird thing, I can automate it just fine if I activate the automation from the End, it is just across dimensions that the re-spawning doesn't complete. I am still digging into this so if anyone else can shed more light on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
