Resource Dimensions
by MaoLMFAO
Resource Dimensions lets a server create temporary dimensions at runtime so players can gather resources without touching the Overworld.
What it does
Each resource world is created when the server starts and is generated as a separate dimension beside the main one. Players collect ore, crops and loot there, and the Overworld keeps its terrain and builds. When the server stops, the resource world and its chunk data are deleted automatically, so no leftover files pile up on disk. The mod runs on Fabric, is licensed under CC0 1.0 Universal, and the source code is public.
Players reach the resource world through a safe teleport that uses their bed spawn point when one exists, and otherwise moves them to the nearest safe surface. The mod suits multiplayer servers that want to protect the main world from griefing and over-exploration, and claim-based single-player worlds that need a clean environment. Files cover 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.0.1 for 1.20.6 as the latest beta release. Both client and server need the mod.
Key features
Temporary resource worlds
Dedicated dimensions are generated at server start to serve as the only place for gathering.
Auto-deletion on shutdown
Resource world data is removed when the server stops, keeping disk usage low between sessions.
Safe teleportation
Players are sent to their bed spawn point or to the nearest safe surface, not to an unsafe drop.
Overworld protection
Resources come from the temporary dimension, so the main world is left unchanged by mining and farming.

Who it’s for: Server owners who want to keep the main world pristine, and players on those servers who need a separate place to collect ore, crops and loot without risk to the shared world.
