⚠️ Notes

• Only players are blocked — not mobs or items
• Players already inside the End when locking are not removed
• No /reload command prior to v1.5.0; now available to refresh config, language, scheduled unlock, bStats, UpdateChecker, PlaceholderAPI
• The End dimension remains accessible via commands that bypass the player check (e.g., certain custom plugins); this plugin blocks the common vanilla pathways.
