A Bukkit Plugin that allows users to create any shape/sized portals for use in the Minecraft game
Here is WarpPortals! This plugin was created due to an inability to find a robust, functional, and endlessly customizable portals plugin.
- Portals of any shape, size, or block type!
- Now has an API!
- Documentation can be found at WarpPortals/API
- An example implementation can be found at example/WarpPortalsEventListener.java.
- Create portals with any block type!
- Portals without frames or with frames of any material
- Portals that work between worlds
- Easy to create Portals
- Easy to set destinations
- Precise teleportations
- Global Enable or Disable normal portals functionality
Check out the Table of Commands
How do you create a Portal?
- First choose the Portal destination and set it using "/wpdc [name]". This command will set the destination to your current location, world AND angle of view.
- Second, build a portal of any shape out of Gold Blocks. These will make up the Portal's body.
- Third, hold a non-block item and run the command "/wppc [portalName] [destName] [portalBlockMaterial]". This will make it so the next Gold Block you click will turn them into a Portal made of the specified portalBlockMaterial, eg WATER.
- Fourth, right-click any one of the Gold Blocks you built. The plugin will find all adjacent Gold Blocks and turn them all into a Portal!
- Fifth, profit.
Who can use a WarpPortal?
Any one can use a WarpPortal by default. You can revoke someone's WarpPortal rights by setting their permission "warpportal.enter" to false. New: The WarpPortals' Event API allows for this to be overridden!
How do you use WarpPortals?
WarpPortals are always active and simply walking though one will teleport you to its destination.
Who can create/admin a WarpPortal?
Only players who are ops or have the "warpportal.admin" permission.
What settings are there?
- You can change whether normal Nether/End portals function. For example, setting this to false would mean that when a player walked through a Nether portal that they activated with flint, nothing would happen.
- You can change the general Text Color used by the plugin. By default Yellow.
- You can adjust the max portal size. This limit exists so that a Portal so large that it would eternally crash the server can't be created. By default 1000.
- You can change the teleportation message. By default it is "Wooooooooosh!"
- You can change the teleportation message Text Color. By default Purple.
Is there Economy support?
No. Portals are always active and currently don't support any form of Economy plugins. New: The WarpPortals' Event API provides the means for an external plugin to be written to handle this.
What bugs are there?
Ghost Portals: Currently, anyone can break the Portal Blocks that make up the Portal and that will cause the PORTAL_ENTERED event to never fire. This means that to the plugin the Portal still exists but realistically it isn't there anymore. To keep this from happening something like WorldGuard should be used to protect the Portals (though this protection may be a built-in feature in the future). To deal with the possibility of all the Portal blocks getting broken in a Portal, you can use the "/pdelete [portalName]" command to return the Portal to its original Gold Block form. If only a few blocks get broken, simply replacing them with new Portal Blocks should work. Fixed in version 4.1.3
Bad Text Colors: Also, the Text Color settings don't appear to be cross OS Compatible. By default they are setup for Windows but if they don't work for you (if you get white text from the plugin) all Text Color Codes are editable in the Plugin's settings file. Fixed in version 2.0.1
Single Width Portals: Single width portals can only face East or West. This is a very weird bug but it is an unfortunately un-fixable problem. Portal block orientation is decided off of the adjacent portal blocks. Therefore, if two portal blocks are side-by-side, they will connect and face the right way. (Side Note: Even this was a hack and required overriding portal block physics). Sadly, a single portal block doesn't have anything to base it's orientation upon and will then default to East/West. This forum thread details the problem <https://forums.bukkit.org/threads/rotating-portal-
blocks.12598/forums.bukkit.org/threads/rotating-portal-blocks.12598/> Only applies to WarpPortals made of Nether Blocks as of version 4.1.3

WarpPortals now has an Event API. Bukkit explains Events at Event API Reference. WarpPortals triggers custom events allowing other plugins to tie into these events. The events provide player & portal information and allow other plugins to cancel the portal teleportation.

- Thank you xxyy!
- Devs, this plugin is now built using maven
5.6.3

- Per-portal permissions can now be set (eg, donor rank portals)
- WarpPortals now check for if a player has "warpportals.enter.{PortalName}" permission before teleporting
- By default ever player has "warpportals.enter.*", this can be changed and allows for donor rank portals and such
- You can set whether players are told that they don't have permission, or make the portal "silent"
- Faster onPlayerMove algorithm that is over 100% more efficient in some situations!
- Users are alerted when they run commands without proper permission

- Setting a Chat Color doesn't require any special characters in the config file anymore! Just the color code. (eg. '3' instead of '&3')
- In addition to convenience, this should fix all of the config problems! @R4m8o, @DarkenInsanity, @SpookyPirate
- Portals now also save their state to disk on creation. This should fix any lost portal errors. @getnjr, @iDazzah
