Dimension Control

🌌 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: OP
    • dimensioncontrol.dimension.remove – default: OP
    • dimensioncontrol.dimension.reset – default: OP
    • dimensioncontrol.dimension.teleport – default: OP
    • dimensioncontrol.dimension.list – default: OP
    • dimensioncontrol.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).

Presets:
Drop custom world folders into the presets/ directory. These can be cloned instantly using the /dimension add command.
