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.
