Description
Access Denied (Legacy)
As of 1/2/2026 this project has been discontinued due to low demand. Further updates to the main project will continue as normal.
Access Denied (Legacy) 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.
Warning
This description only works for versions from 1.0.0-beta.1 upwards.

Dimension Requirements
Let's move on to setting up the Dimension Requirements.
Access Denied (Legacy) provides a vast amount of optional requirements that can be added:
REQUIRED:
dimension= Registry name of the dimensionblocksBroken= Amount of blocks that must be minedblocksPlaced= Amount of blocks that must be placedxpLevel= Level of experience requiredplayerKills= Amount of player kills requiredmobKills= Amount of entity kills required (Does not count players)playTime= Amount of seconds of playtime requireditemsKey= List of itemsthe player must have in their inventoryeffects= List of effectsthe player must have activehealth= The health the player must havedeaths= The amount of deaths the player must havechance= Additional chance to get into the dimension if the rest of the requirements are metadvancements= List of advancements the player must have completedjumps= Amount of jumps the player must dotimesFished= Amount of times the player needs to have fishedftbQuestIds= List of FTB Quest IDs the player must have completedmobBounties= List of mobs the player has to kill and their amount, for example 3 zombiesblockBounties= List of blocks the player has to mine and their amount, for example 5 obsidianlocationBiome= The biome the player has to be in to be able to enter the target dimensionlocationDimension= The dimension the player has to be in to be able to enter the target dimension
These requirements must be placed inside a json file (can be named anything you want, but no spaces or capital letters) inside of the folder config/access_denied.
