DimensionUnlocker is a lightweight Paper/Spigot plugin that lets server owners lock the Nether and End until they are ready to open them.
This is useful for survival launches, SMP seasons, progression-based servers, event servers, and any server that wants to delay access to the Nether or End.
Features:
- Lock Nether access
- Lock End access
- Separate settings for each dimension
- Time-based unlocks
- Manual admin unlock commands
- Permission bypass support
- Server-wide broadcast when a dimension unlocks
- Saves unlock state after restarts
- Prevents repeated time-unlock broadcasts after restart
- Configurable messages
- Reload command
- Simple and lightweight
Unlock Methods:
Dimensions can be unlocked in multiple ways depending on your config.
1. Time-Based Unlock
Set a specific date and time in the config. Once that time is reached, the dimension automatically opens and broadcasts a message to the server.
2. Manual Admin Unlock
Admins can instantly unlock a dimension using a command.
Example:
/dimensionunlock unlock nether
/dimensionunlock unlock end
3. Permission Bypass
Give trusted players or staff bypass permissions so they can enter locked dimensions early.
