What happened?

Attempted to spawn the ender dragon in a creative flat world on the tunneler's dream preset in the overworld, using commands in the chat.
Upon spawning the game crashed instantly and the world can no longer be loaded into without crashing immediately upon exiting pause.

From the log file:

Description: Ticking entity

this is a common issue

Hadn't seen any other issues referring to it crashing on 1.18.2
Or in the overworld

epicfight revamps the enderdragon which causes the A.I. to break when spawned outside of the main island

Go on the end in survival

It's 1.18.2 not 1.16.5

Closed the issue, as it's a known issue that should be avoided by the user

Wasn't in survival, I was on a creative world. Was just testing stuff.

Alright. Well I didn't see any known issues about it so I couldn't have known could I?

i know, thats whyb i'm telling you, if you want to go in the end, hop on the portal on survival mode

Well now you know and can avoid it in the future

It's 1.18.2 not 1.16.5

my bad

Summary:

Don't encounter the ender dragon in any other way than entering the end in survival

I will say, not knowing how the code works but having a general understanding of programming, it might be possible to trick the game into thinking a dimension is the end when spawning in the ender dragon by having it so the ender dragon's ai references the dimension it's in via an reference variable rather than the one it's actually supposed to be in.

The main end island and it's structures are integrated into th ender dragon's A.I. so just making it think that it is in the end simply won't work
