How to Set Separate Borders for the Overworld, Nether, and End

Why Separate Borders Matter

Each dimension has different travel scales and hazards. A border that feels right in the overworld may be far too large or small in the Nether, where one block equals several overworld blocks. Configuring them independently gives you control over exploration range per dimension.

Enabling the Custom Overworld Border

The config includes an option to enable a custom overworld border, which is on by default. Keep it on if you want the overworld to use its own size value instead of inheriting a shared default. Turn it off only if you deliberately want all dimensions to share one limit.

Setting Nether and End Values

Locate the Nether and End border size entries in the config. Set the Nether smaller than the overworld if you want tighter Nether travel, and set the End according to how much end-game exploration you want to allow. Remember that looping applies per dimension, so each one wraps independently.

Verifying In-Game

After saving and reloading, travel to each dimension and walk toward its edge. Watch for the proximity message to confirm the correct limit is active. Adjust values and reload again if a dimension feels too cramped or too open.
