Help CenterThe Nether is a dimension that is full of fire and scary monsters! If you aren't interested in dealing with any of that then this guide will cover how to disable it! Once disabling the Nether, you or anybody on your server will not be able to access it any longer. If you change your mind, you will also learn how to re-enable it in this guide!
🛑 Quick heads up! The Nether is needed for a lot of things in Minecraft, before moving forward be sure that you don't need anything from the Nether before disabling it!
Step 1: Access Your File Manager In The Control Panel
To begin, you'll have to be logged into your SimpleGameHosting Game Control Panel. If you need help accessing this, we have a complete guide to accessing the panel to help you out!
When you're logged into the main page of the panel, select the server you want to disable / enable The Nether. Once you do that, click the button at the top that says "File Manager" to go to your server's files.
Step 2: Open The "server.properties" File
Inside your File Manager, look for the file called "server.properties" and click on it to open it.
Step 3: Change the "allow-nether" Setting
Once you open the server.properties file, find a line in there that says "allow-nether" and change the value from "true" to "false" if you want to disable the nether. And then hit "Save Content" to save the changes.
If you instead want to enable the nether, just change it from 'false' to 'true'
Step 4: Restart Your Server
For these changes to take place, you'll have to restart your server. Go back to the server's console by clicking the "Console" button at the top of the Panel, and then click the Restart button for your server to restart. When it turns back on, your Nether will be disabled or enabled, depending on what option you chose in the configuration file!
