Description
This plugin is intended to efficiently provide a border for each of your worlds, which only people granted special bypass access are allowed beyond. These borders can be round/elliptic or square/rectangular. As the plugin has been written with performance as the most important goal, it should have no performance impact on your server. Additional world trimming and filling commands are available as well.
Older plugins which originally inspired the creation of this one: rBorder and BorderGuard.
Features
- You can set up a separate border for each world, but only one border per world.
- You can have either round/elliptic or square/rectangular borders. Square/rectangular borders are slightly higher performance, round/elliptic borders make for nicer display maps. Different worlds can have different border shapes if you so choose.
- Configuration and border setup is done completely using commands in-game or through the server console. No need to ever edit the config file directly.
- Support for all permission plugins which interface with Bukkit's built-in "superperms" permission system.
- You can fully generate (fill) your world all the way to the border, filling in any missing chunks, including a configurable buffer zone just outside your border.
- You can trim off any world chunks beyond the border, getting rid of extraneous parts, with a configurable buffer zone left just outside your border.
- You can use a bypass command to allow specific players to go beyond all borders.
- Borders can be automatically displayed in DynMap if you use that plugin.
- All plugin data is automatically saved whenever any borders or settings are changed.
- If a player crosses a border while in a vehicle, the momentum of the vehicle is stopped and it is moved back inside the border with the player.
- When a player is moved back inside a border, they will be moved to a safe vertical location if needed.
- Borders for specific worlds can be set to wrap around instead of just knocking back players who cross the border, instead sending them to the opposite edge of the border.

Of special interest are the Fill command and the Trim command features:

Borders are also displayed automatically by default in DynMap if you have it:

So basically wrapping is just instead of teleporting the player a bit back it just make it like if you kept walking you can end up on the other side of the map making it look like it continued like a teleporting across the map?

The only borders that exist are the ones you set. If you don't set a border on a world, there is none for that world.

Posted Jul 19, 2013@Brettflan Am I correct in assuming that you can have borders enabled for some worlds while disabled for others?

I'll consider it, though my free time is very limited.

Posted Jul 19, 2013Hello, please can you add per world messages? I need to tell players that Spawn world is not playable so they must use portals to other worlds. In other worlds, I just want to tell them that they have reached the end. Thanks very much

Anyone crossing the border is teleported to the direct opposite edge of the border.

It seems like there was some reason I didn't do it in the past, probably for performance reasons. I'll consider it again.
@N1nj4_Bl4d3C0ld_K453
Go to one corner, note the X and Z positions, then do the same for the opposite corner. Then use the setcorners command. Same result as determining the corners using a "wand" system. Further command specifics are with all other command info at the link at the top of the page, of course.

Posted Jul 18, 2013May I ask for a wand tool of some sort for square/rectangular border selection? That's my only disappointment with this awesome plugin.

That would require monitoring all block placement and destruction events from Bukkit which would have a minor performance impact. What trouble is caused by people being able to modify blocks within the short reach they have outside the border?

Posted Jul 18, 2013Hey, would you be able to add a feature to stop players from placing and destroying blocks from beyond the border?

Sorry, I don't understand what your problem is. You'll need to be more detailed. Maybe you're running the commands from in-game and don't have the necessary permissions?
@bloodless2010
So to set the default border shape to square/rectangular:
/wb shape square
Then to set the world "world" to have a 26000 radius border centered at 0, 0:
/wb world set 26000 0 0
Then you can run the trim command on the world (here assumed to be the default name "world" again) without anything else specified as long as you want the default 208 block padding outside the border.
/wb world trim
/wb trim confirm
All of the above commands can be run from the server console (since the world name is specified) or from in-game (where specifying the world name is optional and defaults to the world you're in).

I haven't really been keeping up with Factions, Olof (Cayorion) is back actively developing it now.
Just having checked it now, it looks like the BukkitDev team have locked the project down completely due to a Dropbox referral link Olof has in the plugin description as a way to support him by helping get him free storage space on Dropbox. The moderation note says "You may not use referral links". Olof should already know about it, but I'll try to make sure he does.
