I don't want portal yet
by ultrakoxxd
Players who want to block travel through specific dimensions can use I don't want portal yet, a server-side mod that disables individual portals by config or command.
What it does
The mod switches off portals to the Nether, the End and the Otherside, along with portals added by other dimension mods. Each dimension can be turned on or off with a command, and the mod's config file holds a true or false value for every portal. A timer can be set up so a portal stays closed for a chosen time.
Since the mod is server-side only, a server owner installs it alone and players join without any client install. It is published for Forge and NeoForge across 10 release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.20.4, and the code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Source code and an issue tracker are linked from the project page.
Key features
Per-dimension portal control
Portals to the Nether, the End, the Otherside and other dimension mods can each be disabled separately.
Command switch
An operator can disable or enable a portal in game with a command, without restarting the server.
Config file toggles
Each portal has a true or false entry in the config file, so the setting persists across sessions.
Portal timer
A timer can be configured to keep a portal closed for a set period, useful for pacing progression.

Use cases
Quest pacing
A server running a quest pack can close dimension portals until the matching quest reward is claimed, using the command as the reward step.
Vanilla-style servers
A server that wants to keep the End closed while keeping the Nether open can turn off only the End portal in the config.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want to control which dimensions players can reach, especially on modded packs that add many portal types.

Disable End is server-side only and open source under CC0 1.0 Universal, but it is a Fabric mod for 1.16 – 26.2.
