🌌 DimensionControl – Effortless Custom Dimensions in Minecraft!
DimensionControl is a powerful yet lightweight Paper plugin that allows server admins to create, manage, and remove custom dimensions (worlds) within seconds – all through intuitive commands. No complicated setup, no manual file copying – just seamless world control at your fingertips.
🚀 Key Features
- 📦 One-Command Creation
Create fully working custom dimensions with a single command: /dimension add <name> [seed|preset]. You can either provide a Minecraft seed for procedural generation or specify a preset (folder from presets/) to clone an existing world structure.
- 🗑️ Safe Dimension Removal
Remove dimensions via /dimension remove <name>, automatically teleporting all players to the Overworld before deletion.
- 🌍 Automatic World Loading
All created dimensions load automatically on server startup.
- 🛡️ Auto World Backup
Worlds are periodically saved and backed up to prevent data loss.
- 🗺️ Seed- or Preset-Based Generation
Choose between generating new worlds with a custom seed or duplicating an existing preset from the presets/ folder. Both options are equally easy to use.
- 🌐 Multi-Language Support
Fully localized via editable YAML files – includes en_us.yml and de_de.yml.
- 🛡️ Permissions System
Each /dimension subcommand has its own permission:
dimensioncontrol.dimension.add – default: OPdimensioncontrol.dimension.remove – default: OPdimensioncontrol.dimension.reset – default: OPdimensioncontrol.dimension.teleport – default: OPdimensioncontrol.dimension.list – default: OPdimensioncontrol.dimension.* – default: OP (grants all subcommand permissions)
- ⚡ Alias Command
Use /dim as a shortcut for /dimension for faster access.
🐛 Fixed
- Fixed a crash that occurred when the plugin was started for the first time (v1.0.1 issue).
🧭 Commands
/dimension add <name> [seed|preset]
➤ Creates a new dimension. You can provide a seed for world generation or a preset name to copy a custom world template.
/dimension remove <name>
➤ Unloads and deletes the dimension after safely teleporting players.
/dimension list
➤ Lists all custom dimensions managed by the plugin.
🔧 Configuration
Localization:
Set the language via the locale option in config.yml (e.g., en_us, de_de).
