This plugin can allow those with permission to create gates. These gates will transport/teleport anyone who enters that gate to the designated location. This is a very easy to use, easy to maintain transportation plugin! As a bonus, the gates can look any way you like!
To get started, try the ingame command:
/gate
Commands
/gate help,h,? [page] - Display a help page
/gate create,new [id] - Create a gate
/gate delete,del,remove [id] - Delete a gate
/gate setfrom [id] - Set “from” to your location.
/gate setto [id] - Set “to” to your location.
/gate open [id] - Open that gate after creation.
/gate close [id] - Close that gate at any time.
/gate list,ls - Display a list of the gates
FAQ
Permissions?
Only one:
ancientgates.admin - this will allow anyone with that permission full access to create, delete, open or close gates.
Who can create a gate?
Those with the permission node or operators.
How do I create a gate?
Using the command
/gate create [id] will create a gate with the name of "[id]". You then stand wherever you choose to make the gate (making a frame out of seemingly anything (besides, say, lava or water) and do a
/gate setfrom [id]. This will set the "from" position (where players must walk into) where you stand. You then go to where you want to have players teleport to, and type:
/gate setto [id] and it set that position to where you stand. Once this is all set up, you now open the gate with
/gate open [id]. This should open the portal and allow users to enter them at any time.
Who can destroy a gate?
Anyone if you do not use a third-party protection plugin like Towny, Factions, Worldguard, etc.
Is there economy/Vault integration? Features for user to dial other gates etc?
Not at this time.
To Do List:
- Fork Vault in, allowing costs per gate creation, teleport, etc.
- Create basic gate destruction protection, removing the need for Worldguard/Factions/Towny/etc.

Thanks for the quick reply! I actually cant test the OP changes cause I am running permissions, but if I get a chance ill disable my PEX and see if it works.
As far as the gates accidentally taking you to the nether, a second side effect seems to be that if you have an Ancient Gate anywhere near a real world coordinate of a nether gate they will link instead of your existing nether gate! Hopefully there is a way to separate the nether gate action from the purple portal effect cause I would hate for you to lose the visual.
And once I got the hang of destinations being separate from entrances I just put my exit in front of my gate facing away with no frame and it works great!
YES! thank you for maintaining this! The old version still worked perfectly fine for me but it is nice to know that this will still be updated and improved. Especially now with that big warning message about plugins that will be breaking with R5 gets released..
@ascobolbeast Yes it works for multiple worlds. Pretty much the main reason i use this.
@xorvious @cr0ssbreed Yes.. the problem with going to the nether has always been there for me.. It happens when you step into the gate just a little bit so you won't teleport but are still in the gate. It also seems to happen when the server is having lag. The portal animation finishes before you get teleported to the location you specified with this plugin. That's not much of a problem for me though as my server doesn't experiences lag very often.
Hi,
sounds like a nice plugin. Only one question: Does it support multi worlds?
Let's say: setfrom is one world and setTo in an other world.
Would be pretty nice.
OH THANK NOTCH!!! Thanks so much for updating this, I love you (no homo)
@xorvious
Thanks for the comments. I just updated to fix the lack of operators having access, without the use of a permissions file. Let me know if its not.
As far as going to the nether, that is an unexpected result for sure. I'll see what I can do about that.
No plans to make gates 'linked', but it could be done in the future here if more people want it.
Hi, was just looking into gates for my server and had a couple issues with yours that I wanted to ask about.
First was that I was not using a permission plugin at all, so I assumed that the plugin would revert to OP only as described. This was not the case as I was told I did not have permission to use the gate command whenever I tried. I did end up installing PEX and then didn't have any more issues with that.
Second, I found that the plugin works well if you walk through the gate you make, but if you stop part way through, the purple nether portal effect takes over and you are teleported to the nearest nether gate. Is this intentional? Seems like an unexpected result.
And finally a question, any method or plan on making the gates 2 way? As in enter or exit through the same gate to go back to where you came from?
Thanks for you time and plugin!
Love This Portal Plugins
