Disableportal
by 24na7
Disableportal lets server owners block players from entering the Nether and End dimensions, and it can be switched on and off with a command.
What it does
Portal access to the Nether and End can be turned off on a server by installing the mod on the Forge server. Once the plugin is active, players who step into a portal to those dimensions are stopped, while the rest of the world works as before. Operators can activate portals and enter those dimensions through a command when needed, which suits servers that want to gate progression without rewriting world settings.
Disableportal is a server-side only mod and is released under the Apache License 2.0, so it is open source and its source code and issue tracker are public. Its Forge files cover 1.20.1 and later, and the latest Forge file is version 1.2 for 1.20.1, published on 2025-04-15. The same plugin is also available for Paper, Bukkit and Folia servers. The author states that backporting older versions occurs after the final update, and that support is planned to continue for a long time. Translations into other languages have not been added yet.
The author says the mod is sure to work across the major version transitions, and states nothing about versions below that.

How it compares
Limina is server-side only and released under the Apache License 2.0, but it is published for Forge and NeoForge on 1.19.2 – 1.21.1, a narrower range than Disableportal's 1.20.1 and later. Dimension Access Manager is a client and server mod with All rights reserved, for Forge and NeoForge on 1.17.1 – 26.3. Both need players on the same side as the server, unlike Disableportal.

What the author says
You will not be able to activate portals, but you can enter the dimensions using a command. There is no difference; the system is the same as before.
