Progressions Limiter
by zischknall
Progressions Limiter lets server owners switch off specific progression milestones through gamerules, such as nether portal travel, wither spawning and end portal activation.
What it does
Each limit is a gamerule, so an operator can turn a blocked progression on or off in-game without restarting the server. Three limits are listed in the author notes: entities cannot pass through nether portals, a wither cannot be spawned from a wither block structure, and players cannot insert ender eyes into end portal frames. The author recommends setting allowNether to true in server.properties on a dedicated server, so the nether can be enabled or disabled later through the gamerule.
The mod suits servers that want to hold players inside an earlier stage of the game for a set period, for example to give more casual players time to catch up. Its author notes a side effect: with the end of the progression blocked, players may build more creative farm designs during the early phases before those progressions are reached. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It needs Fabric API on the server, and the code is open source under the MIT License, on Fabric for two game versions.
Key features
Gamerule toggles
Each progression milestone is controlled by a gamerule that an operator can change while the server runs.
Nether portal block
Entities are prevented from passing through nether portals while the limit is set.
Wither spawning block
A wither cannot be created from its block structure when this limit is active.
End portal frame block
Players cannot place ender eyes into end portal frames, which keeps the end locked until the limit is lifted.

How it compares
Progressions Limiter is server-side only, open source under the MIT License and published on Fabric for two game versions. PortalNuhUh is also server-side only, but it is published for 26.1.2 and uses a custom license that is not open source, so it covers a different game version and terms. MoreGameRules is server-side only and open source under the GNU General Public License v2.0 only, and it targets the same game versions, but it provides gamerules rather than progression limits.

What the author says
Useful when you have a server and want to limit the progression within a certain time frame, so that more casual players have more time to catch up. As a side effect this also causes you to be more creative with farm designs in the early phases as you don't have access to all resources. I recommend setting…
