Gatekeeper Portals
Gatekeeper Portals is a server-side Fabric admin tool for 1.20.1 that lets operators toggle access to the Nether and End dimensions.
What it does
Admins use a set of commands to open or close portal access between dimensions at any time. Closing a dimension stops players from entering it, which lets a server owner pace progression and stop early endgame rushes. The tool is built for one private server network and is not intended as a general-purpose plugin for other servers.
Only the server needs the mod; players join without installing anything. Commands require OP Level 4 (Admin OP) by default. Files are published for Fabric only, with a single release, 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, dated 2026-08-15. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved, so the terms restrict personal non-commercial use, redistribution and derivative works.
Key features
Cross-dimensional access control
Operators can instantly toggle whether players may travel to the Nether or the End.
Progression pacing
Keeping portals closed delays endgame content until the server owner decides it is time.
Admin commands
Dedicated commands change portal access without restarting the server or editing files.
Lightweight design
The tool is small in scope, covering only dimension access rather than broader server features.
