Resource World
by Aethro
Resource World is a Fabric mod that adds a separate Overworld-style dimension for gathering materials, reached through a gold-framed portal and reset on a schedule.
What it does
Players build the portal like a Nether Portal, but with Gold Blocks in place of Obsidian, then light it with Flint and Steel to enter the dimension. The dimension exists for one purpose: excavating resources, including whole chunks, without affecting the main survival world. Nothing there is permanent, and each reset rebuilds the area from a new seed, giving everyone a fresh area to gather from.
Warnings are sent to players before each reset, and players are moved to safety during it. A landing platform is generated automatically on arrival. Reset timing, portal behavior and other settings are changed in a configuration file. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is published for Fabric only, across 11 release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, under All rights reserved; it is not open source.
Key features
Separate resource dimension
An Overworld-style dimension exists apart from the main world, so mining there leaves the survival world untouched.
Gold Block portal
The portal frame is built from Gold Blocks and activated with Flint and Steel, instead of the Obsidian frame of the Nether.
Scheduled world resets
A timer regenerates the whole dimension with a new seed, and the interval is set in the configuration file.
Reset warnings and evacuation
Players receive a warning before each reset and are moved to safety while it happens.
Automatic landing platform
A platform is generated on arrival, so players do not land in open air or unsafe terrain.

What the author says
Build a portal exactly like a Nether Portal, but using Gold Blocks instead of Obsidian. Light the portal with Flint & Steel and you'll be transported to the Resource World.
