![NatureGate](https://i.postimg.cc/dQ8Gb5fd/01-banner.png) NatureGate lets you decide when players can enter the Nether and the End. Close them before launch day, open the End for a weekend event, or keep the Nether shut at night. Staff and donor ranks can still get in, everyone else is sent to spawn, a world or a warp. ![Features](https://i.postimg.cc/WbT0TMRJ/header-features.png) Open or close the Nether and the End with one command Open for a while, it closes again by itself Daily, weekly and one-time schedules Chat, title and sound announcements with reminders Blocked players see when the dimension opens next VIP access for any rank permission Send players to spawn, a world, a point or a warp Stops portals, /tp, /home, /warp and respawn anchors Moves players out when a dimension closes Catches up on missed schedules after a restart Multiverse friendly, PlaceholderAPI support English, Ukrainian and Russian messages ![How it looks](https://i.postimg.cc/dtwGw8My/header-preview.png) ![Blocked portal](https://i.postimg.cc/gcv3Cg78/03-blocked-portal.png) ![Announcements](https://i.postimg.cc/h49Vk2YV/04-announcements.png) ![Status](https://i.postimg.cc/44zpDW0z/05-status.png) ![Schedule](https://i.postimg.cc/G3kvWXfF/06-schedule.png) ![Quick start](https://i.postimg.cc/3JY2YgMp/header-quick-start.png) Drop NatureGate.jar into the plugins folder and restart the server Close the End until launch day: /ng close end Open it on weekends from 18:00 to 22:00:

Time zone matters. Schedules run in the time zone set in config.yml. By default it is server, the time zone of your host machine, which is often not where your players live. Set your own, for example Europe/Kyiv, Europe/Berlin or America/New_York, then run /ng reload. Daylight saving time is handled automatically. ```yaml language: en timezone: Europe/Kyiv dimensions: end: default-state: closed allowed-permissions: - group.vip redirect: type: command command: 'warp spawn %player%' schedules: weekend-open: action: open type: weekly days: [saturday, sunday] time: '18:00' weekend-close: action: close type: weekly days: [saturday, sunday] time: '22:00' ``` ![Placeholders](https://i.postimg.cc/zX8T8nmh/header-placeholders.png) Needs PlaceholderAPI.
