Hiya,

The only explosions that will work are creepers and that’s if you’re in a hard world. They will only explode for players on the protection too. No TNT, crystals, respawn anchors etc will work. 

Chunk loaders are also disabled as are vanilla nether portals. The only way to the nether is through /warp worlds. You can make farms on the nether roof but you’ll need a teleport up there and a /sethome to get back. 

And no, vindicators will only drop emeralds if killed by a player. 

Isn't going up to the Nether roof exploiting a glitch?

It is not :D

Nope, we have lots of farms up there and sethomes. If you need a teleport up there just ask in chat and we can get you there :)
