The End is a dimension in Minecraft containing the game's final boss, and many other interesting things you can't find in the overworld. But let's say you didn't want your players or anyone else on the server to be able to access The End dimension. In this guide, we'll show you how to disable The End, and also enable it again if you change your mind!
🛑 Heads up: To have the necessary configuration files to disable the End, your server must be running either Paper or Purpur. We have guides to install both Paper or Purpur onto your Minecraft Server.
Step 1: Logging Into The Game Panel

1. Open a new tab in your browser and navigate to panel.simplegamehosting.com.
2. Enter your login credentials in the provided field and click the Login button.
3. After logging in successfully, you’ll be taken to the Console tab for your server. If you have more than one server, you’ll first see a dashboard listing all your available servers. Just click on the one you want to manage.
4. Make sure to turn the server offline on your Console tab by pressing the Stop button.

Now that your server is offline, you can beginning with disabling The End on your server.
1. In your File Manager, locate the file named bukkit.yml and click to open it. This file is only available if your server is running Paper or Purpur. If you are not using Paper or Purpur yet, check out our installation guides linked at the top of this article to get started.
2. Open the bukkit.yml file, locate the allow-end line, change its value from true to false to disable The End, and then click Save Content to apply your changes.
