DimensionAccess
Allows server operators to disable or enable specific dimensions via commands. Blocked players are stopped before entering the dimension. No teleport, no achievements.
About this Mod
DimensionAccess is a lightweight server-side Fabric mod that gives server operators full control over which dimensions players can access.
Features
- Disable any dimension - prevent players from entering specific dimensions such as the Nether or the End
- True cancellation - the teleport is blocked before it happens: no achievement, no chunk loading, no side effects
- Live reload - update the config without restarting the server
- Auto-complete - commands suggest valid dimension identifiers automatically
Commands
All commands require OP level 2.

DimensionAccess server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is DimensionAccess compatible with fabric?
DimensionAccess officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with DimensionAccess – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if DimensionAccess consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
