Locking Dimensions for Progression-Based Access

Planning Dimension Locks

In progression-oriented servers, gating dimensions keeps players from skipping ahead to end-game content before completing earlier milestones. Because this is a server-side mod, all access rules are handled directly on the host side without requiring clients to install matching files. Identify which dimensions should be locked by default, such as the Nether, the End, or added custom dimensions.

Granting Entry to Advancing Players

To enforce progression, configure the mod's customizable rules to deny default entry to the locked world. When an individual player meets the necessary advancement, quest completion, or server milestone, an administrator can update that player's access status.

1. Access your server management controls as an administrator.

2. Set the baseline rule for the restricted dimension so that unauthorized players cannot enter.

3. When a player earns access, modify their permissions to permit entry to that specific dimension.

4. Test the restriction by having an unauthorized player attempt to use a portal or dimensional transport; the entry rule should prevent them from crossing over until granted permission.
