Introduction
The Nether is one of Minecraft's three main dimensions, filled with unique biomes, mobs, and valuable resources. Most servers have the Nether enabled by default, but it can be disabled through the server configuration.
This guide explains how to enable the Nether on your Minecraft server.

server.properties
Step 3: Enable the Nether
Find the following line:
allow-nether=false
Change it to:
allow-nether=true
Save the file.
Step 4: Start Your Server
Start your server again.
Players can now enter the Nether using Nether portals.
