BuildPortals

Table of Contents

BuildPortals:

Player buildable multi-world portals without using commands

Updated for 1.20+!

-- New in version 2.3.0 --

Supports 1.20+
Extended support for teleporting many creature types

Supports:

Multi-world portals
Riding minecarts, boats, or animals through portals
Sending Villagers and many other creatures through portals in minecarts, boats, or on leads

Use:

Once installed, any player can build a teleportation portal by doing:

1) Using a designated portal building material (Emerald Blocks by default) to make a nether-portal-like rectangle, with interior at least large enough for a player to walk through,

Basic Portal 1

2) Place an 'activator block' (any of Redstone blocks, Gold blocks or Diamond blocks by default) on each bottom block along the interior of the portal.

Activated Portal 1

3) Then build another portal where they would like to connect, placing matching 'activator block's in this portal.

Activated Portal 1

Once two complete and like-activated portals are built, the plugin converts the portal interior (including activator blocks) to air and links the portals! Each portal can be built by any player, in any world.

Basic Portal 1 Basic Portal 2

Commands:

/BP version
Check the version of the plugin you are using.
/BP check
Check whether you are currently standing in a portal.
/BP SetMaterial
You can change the portal frame material. This will convert all existing portals to the new material and also allow building new portals from the new named material.
/BP ListMaterial
List the configured portal material.
/BP AddActivator
You can add a new activator material. This allows activating portals with a new block.
/BP RemoveActivator
You can remove an activator material. This will disallow activating portals with the named material.
/BP ListActivators
This will list all currently configured activator materials.

Permissions:

I'm working on a 1.14 release but there are still a number of issues I'm sorting out. I'll release an update that is marked as compatible with 1.14 as soon as I can!

Anyone have permission problems? Right now every one on my server has perms to create and use even though the perm node for both are not in the pex perm file.

The basic permissions are defaulted to true and so don't actually need to be listed in your pex file to be allowed. If you don't want to allow one of those permissions, you'll have to set it false for the user or group you want to disallow.

Thanks for this! It works great so far on my 1.13.1 server!

A couple requests:

Horizontal portals (like the end portal) would be cool!

Changing the fill block to something besides air(like water?) would be cool.

You can put water in the portal and it will still work. I put nether portal pieces in my mine and they still work.

Since updating my server to 1.13, this plugin still works, but only users with OP can travel through portals. Is this because of of the upgrade to 1.13, or is there a permission I need to set? I can't figure out what permission I would need to change to make non-OP users able to use portals.

Thanks for pointing this out. I've been tinkering with some updates and will give the permissions a thorough look-over before posting the update.

Actually, I apologize - I mistakenly thought it was working after updating to 1.13, but it appears the plugin isn't working at all (which isn't surprising given the size of the update). You probably don't have to mess with the permissions at all. Sorry for the mixup!

Hey, thanks for the note. I'm working on a 1.13.1 update right now. I don't think anything changed with permissions in the server but I did do a little minor tweaking of permissions for the upcoming BuildPortals update. I'll add better documentation here to accompany the update. Stay tuned.

Sorry ajr43, I just noticed your comment now! Yes, you can build as many portals as you like. The server I host probably has hundreds...

Suggestions / Requests:

1: Play a sound upon teleporting the player.

2: Option for something other than air blocks to be shown in the portal. (more visually appealing and sometimes difficult to tell, at a glace, whether the portal is activated).

Ok. The sound could be nice. Not too hard to do either. The portal filler less easy but you're not the first to ask so I'll have to look again at how best to do that.

Hello JusDino!

Question regarding Feudal Kingdom Limits: I was thinking... what will happen with the people without a kingdom? Is there any way to only allow building the portals to kingdom leaders only? As otherwise, people could leave the kingdom to make infinite number of portals, and then join the kingdom again and bypass the limits.

Let me know!

Thanks.

I'm not sure. PM me and we can talk about the best way to do these limits.

We are loving this plugin over on Citizens Cove. Very easy, great for moving people around and using them to move minecarts with a real person in it.

Is there any way to move an empty minecart or any type of minecart into the portal and activate it just like a person was in the cart?

In reply to TheWebGamer:

Thanks for the note!

Teleporting minecarts without players is possible... The problem comes into when they are carrying something that isn't a player - ensuring that the cargo is transported in tact can get complicated. It's doable, but complicated. I was thinking as a next step, I'd at least allow for teleportation of minecarts carrying villagers. Empty minecarts could be a possibility as well and I'll work forward from there.

The other thing is that the cart wouldn't necessarily go far if there was nobody at the destination portal because those chunks won't be loaded without players nearby. I'm also kind-of enjoying the idea that portals are currently acting like a player-only cart filter but that doesn't have to remain the case.

Thank you for the reply! Yes, indeed. Long distance cart runs would need chunk loaders. But, one on each side of a portal would need just two. :)

Also, thank you for logging on to our server. :)
