UltimateDimensionController

** --- Description **UltimateDimensionController** is a lightweight, modern administration plugin for Minecraft Paper servers (1.21.x) that gives server operators complete control over player access to the Nether and The End dimensions. With simple toggle commands, administrators can instantly open or close dimensions server-wide without any file editing or server restarts. Built with a **zero-configuration philosophy**, the plugin works immediately upon installation with sensible defaults, while automatically persisting all changes across server restarts. --- Key Features | Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | 🚪 **Instant Dimension Toggle** | Open or close Nether/End with a single command | | 🛡️ **Complete Access Control** | Blocks both portal travel and teleportation | | 💾 **Auto-Persistence** | Settings automatically saved and restored | | 🎯 **Zero Configuration** | Works out of the box, no setup required | | 🔓 **Bypass Permission** | Staff can travel regardless of restrictions | | 📝 **Tab Completion** | Full command auto-completion support | | 🎨 **Modern Chat Formatting** | Beautiful gradient colors using Adventure API | | ⚡ **Lightweight** | Minimal resource usage, no dependencies | --- Use Cases 1.
