WhooshingWell
This is a world teleportation mod with a twist. Rather than futuristic stargates and nether portals filled with water, this one is a little more fun!
Create a portal to another world with a Whooshing Well .. a simple construction that you activate with a button and jump inside. (Jump optional... really you just fall in). Each portal goes to either the spawn point of one world, or a custom set destination (specified by a sign attached to the well).
Permissions can prevent people you don't want from using the Whooshing Well (or rather grant the ability to those you do) and there are very few commands.
Built in to the plugin is the ability to create (or delete) the new world using simple commands. No need for Multiverse or any other worldgen mod (and I haven't tested for any possible clashes between them).
How to Make A Whooshing Well
A Whooshing Well is a very simple 4 x 4 structure (which is not so simple to explain, see pictures)
- FIRST ... ensure the destination exists
- Run "/ww list" to get destination names, or use "/ww addworld" or "/ww setdest" to create a new one
- Place 2 stair blocks (any type) on each side of a 4x4x square
- Make sure the 4 blocks in the middle are empty (you can dig down to make it look more like a well when its not activated)
- Place any blocks you can attach buttons and signs to in the 4 corners
- On one side, on the left block attach a button (Stone or Wood)
- On the SAME side, on the right block attach a sign with [ww] in line 1 and the world or destination name in line 2
- If your world name does not fit, put "world:" followed by the world id, which you can get from the "/ww list" command
- If you have built it correctly and the world exists, and you are allowed to build a well to the requested destination, you have created a Whooshing Well... otherwise you'll get an error message and the sign will pop off the wall.
- Add whatever decoration you like to make it look more like a well (or whatever you want it to look like).. but make sure the 4 centre blocks stay empty.
- Push the button to activate the portal
To remove a WhooshingWell, you must destroy the sign first, then you will be able to destroy the other blocks.
Whooshing Well Examples
On the left is the minimum allowable layout BEFORE you place the sign, although you actually only need 2 of the 4 corner blocks... but this way looks better :)

Posted Jan 10, 2013There are errors as of 1.4.6 R0.2
When people use the wells, 75% of users get stuck way under the well in the ground and dirt, and end up dying.

Posted Dec 27, 2012Hey ellbristow,
My server currently contains 1 creative world. I want to add a survival and a hardcore world. Is this possible? Is it possible to have different settings in each world with WhooshingWell or in combination with another plugin?

Posted Dec 18, 2012Newbie alert.
I installed the plugin, I can run the commands /ww setdest, and /ww list shows my newly created destination, but creating the well doesn't do anything at all.
I'm guessing I have to give the user (me for starters) create and use permissions, but I have no clue how to do that. Could somebody post step by step instructions on how to make that happen?
And for sanity check, first line is [ww], second line just the destination name (no brackets) which happens to be on the same world the well is in.

Posted Dec 15, 2012I'm having the same issue with this plugin, only it started happening on the very first well that I made. The wells only send me to the end and nowhere else even with the end disabled in the config file

You have to use /ww addworld. If you already have a world with the things you want, copy that world to somewhere else and use the command /ww addworld (your world). Then delete all the files from the world in your server folder and copy the copied items from before and paste them back.
All should work fine.

Posted Dec 11, 2012It doesn't work on my server, when I did exactly as the directions stated in the overworld, the sign popped off. In the nether, it said it was activated, but no end portal appeared.

Posted Dec 4, 2012Could you also add the ability to add a cost in a form of a item/block/currency to use the whooshing well each time.
Also able to set a limit on how many portals each person can create

I'm not getting any console errors. I even made a well with the stairs facing in the well, but as opped person it still works. A non-opped person still goes to The End with the 'wrong' well.
I think my permission's file is not good then. I haven't ever changed it, it is still empty. If that is the problem, can you help me with that one? I've never really understood the permissions file and how to set it up.

are you getting any console errors? There is one bug that means you can go to the end if you walk into the well from stairs facing the wrong way... I'm not sure how to fix it yet

Posted Dec 4, 2012Hello,
After a wile, I found out that people on my server who aren't opped can't use the well.. Even if an opp load the well, the player who jumps in goes to The End. What is the problem, and what can I do?

Posted Dec 1, 2012The worlds created by WW, can they be imported into another world generator type plugin such as, say, Multiverse? I'm wondering because there doesn't seem to be a way to manipulate difficulties for specific worlds with just this plugin and Essentials, which is a disappointment. I like having superflat worlds on peaceful for building things for tutorials or silly games.

The plugin contains a world generator, which you activate with /ww addworld {worldName}. The main category for this plugin is Teleportation, but I am allowed to add other relevant categories, and I felt that World Generators was relevant.
Sorry if you feel that's misleading, it was not intentional.
