When the End is disabled, end portals stop working and players can no longer enter the End dimension. Players who are already in the End are moved back to the overworld on their next login.

Disable the End (Paper / Spigot / Purpur / Folia)

  1. Stop the server
    Stop your server via the dashboard.

  2. Open bukkit.yml
    Connect to your server via SFTP and open the file bukkit.yml.

  3. Find the entry
    Inside the settings section, look for the following entry:

    allow-end: true
    
  4. Change the value
    Change the value to false:

    allow-end: false
    
  5. Start the server
    Save the file and start your server.
