I setup a containment ritual in The End and summoned the Ender-Dragon expecting a single capture a few moments after the capture the dragons model disappeared then about 15 seconds later I was thrown away from the ritual and a second dragon had been captured this continued for several minutes before I disabled the ritual and when doing so the dragons model re-appeared and I then proceeded to kill the dragon.

What did you expect, to softlock the game? The dragon can't be released once it's jarred, having more than one it's not ever something exploitable

Completely Invisible Ender-Dragon on multiplayer server? I'm sure that 'cannot' be exploited. I have very powerful modded gear and it nearly killed me 11 times ... and by disabled I managed finally to stay there long enough to break every block of the ritual setup I made.

The dragon respawns due to a vanilla anti-soft lock mechanism, it usually takes a bit more than that. The part that is strange and I didn't really notice in the text is how fast that happens, it shouldn't happen in a standalone ars play.
