Access Denied
by WereF0X
Access Denied lets a server owner or modpack developer gate each dimension behind a set of player requirements, or disable dimensions entirely.
What it does
Access Denied controls who can enter which dimensions. Each dimension can be left open, switched off completely, or locked behind requirements that a player has to meet before entering. Requirements cover objectives such as the player's experience level, player kills, mob kills, blocks broken, blocks placed and items in the inventory, and the player has to complete them before access is granted.
Requirements are built in the game itself. An operator sees a special button in the pause menu that opens the Requirements Builder, which walks through each step and lets the operator add only the requirements wanted and skip the rest, so no config file needs to be edited. Operators can apply changes to players at any time with the sync-requirements command. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.18 – 1.21.5 builds, and the code is covered by All rights reserved.
Integration exists with FTB Quests, Trinkets and Curios API, which are optional dependencies. Installing Trinkets or Curios API is not required, but it adds access links for those mods. The latest Fabric file is 7.0.0 for 1.20.6, the latest Forge file is 7.0.0 for 1.20.1, and the latest NeoForge file is 8.0.0 for 1.21.1.
