Gate Keep
by frikinjay
Gate Keep lets server admins block access to specific dimensions, or open them only at set dates and times, with customizable messages for players who try to enter.
What it does
Admins can fully restrict a dimension so players cannot enter it, or set a time-based restriction that opens it automatically on a chosen date and time. Messages shown to players who attempt entry can be customized, and announcements can be sent server-wide when a time-restricted dimension becomes available. Gate Keep also lists the dimensions that are completely disabled.
Message text supports Minecraft color codes, and configuration messages can include variables that are replaced with the formatted dimension name or the formatted time of availability. The mod is compatible with most modded dimensions and with dimensional travel. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Gate Keep is published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt across 10 release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.10, under All rights reserved, and snapshot builds are published as well.

Use cases
Event-based dimensions

Staged progression
Admins can hold back a dimension for a period of play and make it available to all players on a set schedule.
Who it’s for: Server owners and administrators who want to control which dimensions players can enter and when. Players only need to join the server, since the mod does not have to be installed on their side.
