About this project

What does No Nether add?

🚫🔥 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.


🛠️ What This Datapack Does

This datapack safely prevents Nether travel while keeping portal mechanics intact:

✔ Players cannot enter the Nether through Nether portals
✔ Portals still light, activate, and look normal
✔ Works in survival — no commands or plugins required
✔ Keeps the Nether dimension intact for commands, admins, and datapack logic
✔ Fully multiplayer compatible


🎮 Why Use It?

  • Create Overworld-only or custom-dimension experiences
  • Keep early gameplay more grounded and progression-focused
  • Perfect for story-driven adventures where the Nether is forbidden
  • Prevent players from bypassing late-game challenges
  • Keeps the Nether available for admins but blocks survival access

📥 Installation

  1. Download the datapack .zip
  2. Place it in your world’s datapacks folder
  3. Reload your world with /reload
  4. Nether portals will still activate — but stepping in will no longer teleport players
