🚫🔥 Netherless Portals Datapack
Want to keep the Nether out of your survival world — without removing portals entirely? With Netherless Portals, Nether portals still light and function visually, but players cannot enter the Nether through them.
Perfect for hardcore survival, lore-based RPG maps, overworld-only adventures, or servers that want to keep gameplay focused entirely on one dimension.

✔ Players cannot enter the Nether through Nether portals

✔ Fully multiplayer compatible

No Nether server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong datapack 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 (1.21.10). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is No Nether compatible with datapack and fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?
No Nether officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 1.21.10. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with No Nether – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if No Nether 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.
