About this project
What does Access Denied add?

Access Denied
Access Denied allows server owners and modpack developers to have complete control over players' access to dimensions.
This mod's extensive customizability allows you to either disable certain dimensions entirely, or setup various requirements the players must complete before being able to access that specific dimension.
The following information is up-to-date as of v7.0.0.
Loader & Version Compatibility
v7.0.0 is available already for NeoForge and Fabric 1.21.1. It's in the works for Forge and Fabric 1.20.1!
Access Requirements
Requirements are objectives the player needs to meet or conditions that need to be completed. The mod has a very extensive list!
Dimensions can also be disabled all-together.
Requirements can be created directly in-game with the Requirements Builder! No need to mess with config files.
If you are an OP on the server, you will see a special button in your pause menu, which is the Requirements Builder, which automatically guides you through all the steps and builds requirements for you.
Requirements can be fully customized, adding only the ones you want, skipping any
To sync requirements anytime, OPs can use the command /sync-requirements.
Here's a list of currently implemented requirements:
