BeamPaths
DOWNLOAD LINK AT BOTTOM OF THE PAGE
This plugin allows users to create paths that will create themselves in front of them and remove themselves behind them.
For the initial creation and the usage of the BeamPath the player must have the permission nodes listed below!
Permissions
- Beampaths.* - Beampaths.use - Beampaths.create
Detailed Creation
[ ] = Gold block [o] = Gold block with sign saying [path] above it The gold blocks must first be placed in the configuration below [ ] [ ] [ ][ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] This structure can face any direction (North, South, East, West) but will not work in the Up or Down directions (The Y axis) For the structure to be correctly built the three parallel blocks must be in line with the other group of gold blocks. For Example this WILL NOT work; [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ][ ] [ ] [ ] And NOR will this; [ ] [ ][ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Beampaths.* will give the user all the required permissions to use the BeamPath
How to correctly create a Beampath
The "o" is just my way of saying to add a sign on top of the gold block with the writing [path] on the sign. The golden blocks must be placed before the sign can be placed. [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ][o] [ ] [ ] As shown below

To Do
- Allow mob support choice
- Add paths that can slope up and down
- Add a type of "key" for players to chose, sell or rent the right for others to use their paths
- Add one way path travelling e.g. To allow exit and no entering if required
- Add multiple construction shapes (I'm not too fond of where the [path] sign is places)
- Add red stone support for the bridge to allow total use or not
- Add connect it to my SQL server to allow players to be notified when an update is available
- Add a price tag to making a BeamPath. (Varies with length or fixed value)
Done
- Add a config file DONE!
- Choose which blocks can and can't be replaced by the glass that obstruct the path DONE!
- Ability to chose the path's construction materials (solid and fully filled blocks only) DONE!
- Ability to chose the path's generation materials (solid blocks only) DONE!
Cool things that this plugin allows you to do
I will soon be creating a new page showing all the cool things you can do with this plugin but until that time I might as well describe some of them.
You can hide the gold blocks behind walls to keep your secret hideout from being revealed by flashy gold blocks
You can put multiple BeamPaths together to create a floating area that you can walk on
You can release lava using pistons to obstruct the path and stop the glass from appearing
You can create a way to walk above lava to mine your diamond ore safely
You can stack multiple paths to make a type of elevator
More to come! If you can think of any fun ways of using this plugin feel free to inbox me with a screenshot and description, you will be given credit for your find and a link will be posted to your profile or a plugin of your choice.

I have the EXACT same feelings about this plugin. Keep up the good work, bawat.
Excellent, does exactly what it's supposed to. Would be nice if paths could go vertically, possibly with a [wall] sign. Just to be used as a wall to keep out flying players that appears whenever they get near it.
very nice plugin that works perfectly well and a nice video tutorial that cuts straight to the point.
Wish all plugins were so direct as this one is.
@Zach_1919
Did you remember to give the players the
- Beampaths.*
Permission? Because that sounds like the problem. I can always take a look at it for you
It says that all players have permissions to use the paths, but on my server, I'm op and I can do it, but the normal members cannot. Is there anything I may have that's conflicting it?
@deleted_8886818
I'll start work on an update tomorrow =]
Please update!
@matthiasvd2
Good comment
Good plugin
@d0uglas19
That is easy to do but I'd be leaving that until later, just because I don't want to confuse people by over complicating my plugin just yet.
@bluerhaps
Yes I already had that written down! If you'd like I could make that my top priority and notify you when It's done =]
My current list of ideas contains; Add a config file Choose which blocks can and can't be replaced by the glass that obstruct the path Allow mob support choice Add paths that can slope up and down Add a type of "key" for players to chose, sell or rent the right for others to use their paths Add one way path travelling e.g. To allow exit and no entering if required Ability to chose the path's construction materials (solid and fully filled blocks only) Ability to chose the path's generation materials (solid blocks only) Add multiple construction shapes (I'm not too fond of where the [path] sign is places) Add red stone support for the bridge to allow total use or not Add connect it to my SQL server to allow players to be notified when an update is available
I will put these up in a new section called "To Do"
OK, so. This plugin is really cool. It is nicely done. I am very surprised this doesn't lag my computer. One thing, though. You should be able to change the shape of the blocks in the config. Thanks for your time.
awesome idea! very well implemented. in the future, will there be a config to define the blocks the beams start at (replace gold with X) and same for the actual beam path (glass for X).
@IngrownPenguin
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Super Plugin! Its on my server and works perfect! Going to make a vid on it to show my subscribers! Keep up the good work!

Hello fellow server owners!
I am exceptionally happy to present to you my first plugin! I eagerly await your comments on my project, please include criticism and support because without those things I won't know how to improve it!
