The Dimensional Item Gate Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) introduces a powerful mechanic for custom modpacks and progression-based worlds, allowing access to Minecraft dimensions to be controlled by player inventory. Developed with modpack creators in mind, this mod enables you to define precise rules players can only enter a dimension if they carry certain items, or are blocked if they have restricted ones.
Perfect for RPGs, adventure maps, or structured survival experiences, this tool adds narrative and challenge to dimension hopping, making portals more than just open doors they become milestones in your journey.
Features:
- Inventory-Based Dimension Restrictions
- Prevents players from entering specific dimensions unless their inventory meets custom conditions.
- Can check for required items (e.g., “must carry Nether Compass”) or banned items (e.g., “cannot enter with TNT”).
- Datapack-Driven Ruleset
- All access logic is fully configurable via datapacks, offering complete control over which dimensions are gated and how.
- Includes an example datapack to simplify setup and help you get started quickly.
- Flexible Gating Conditions
- Supports “must-have” conditions (players can only enter if they carry a defined item).
- Supports “must-not-have” conditions (entry blocked if a specific item is present).
- Can be tailored to match progression stages, boss defeats, or custom quests.
- Forge & NeoForge Support
- Compatible with modern Forge and NeoForge environments for wide compatibility in modpacks and custom worlds.
