Dimension Control
by DemoDev
Dimension Control lets server administrators switch off individual dimensions and restrict access, item pickup, block breaking and entity spawning per dimension.
What it does
Administrators can enable or disable each dimension, block access to a chosen dimension entirely, or allow entry only to players holding a given permission, such as the dimensioncontrol.end permission that gates the End. Rules can differ between the Overworld, the Nether, the End and custom dimensions, and a player who attempts to enter a disabled dimension sees a message saying it is disabled.
The mod also covers what happens inside a dimension. It can stop players from picking up specific items, such as netherite ingots or ancient debris, stop listed blocks from being broken, and block specific entities from spawning, whether through natural spawning, spawn eggs or commands. Commands that manage the mod require permission level 2, the operator level. Changes to the configuration file take effect when the file is reloaded, without restarting the server, and a GUI screen lets an operator check the blocked items for the current dimension.
Dimension Control runs on the server only, so players join without installing anything. It requires Fabric API, and the mod is released under the MIT License as open source. Files exist for Fabric on 1.21.4 – 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file.
Key features
Per-dimension access control
Each dimension can be enabled, disabled or limited to players whose rank grants entry, so the Overworld, Nether, End and custom dimensions follow separate rules.
Block item obtainment
Specific items, such as netherite ingots or a custom item from another mod, can be prevented from being picked up inside a chosen dimension.
Restricted block breaking
A list of blocks can be protected from breaking in selected dimensions, including vanilla and modded block identifiers.
Entity spawn prevention
Chosen entities, including the Ender Dragon, can be blocked from spawning through natural spawns, spawn eggs and commands.
Live configuration reload
Edits to the configuration take effect after a reload, so rules change without a server restart.
