DiscoverWarps
What it does
DiscoverWarps is a simple Skyrim/RPG style warp/teleportation plugin that lets you warp to locations that you have previously discovered.
Features
- Use stone or wood pressure plates to set discovery points
- Plates are protected from griefing and explosions
- Simple to use
- Set auto-discoverable locations
- Set a cost to buy locations
- Use signs to warp to locations
- Created in response to this request: http:forums.bukkit.org/threads/wip-mech-teleportation-skyrim-traveling.112579/
Installation
Add the DiscoverWarps.jar file to your server's plugins directory and start up the server. Config and database files will be created automatically with the default values.
If you want to use the buying feature you will need to install Vault and the economy plugin of your choice (check the Vault page for supported plugins)
How it works
- Place a stone or wood pressure plate where you want the discovery point to be
- Stand on the pressure plate
- Make the plate a DiscoverPlate by typing
/dw set [name]
- Add as many DiscoverPlates as you want
- Players can show a list of DiscoverPlates by typing
/dw list
- If they have discovered one of the plates (by walking on it) it will be marked as VISITED - Once a player has discovered a DiscoverPlate, they can teleport to it by typing
/dw tp [name]
- Warp to a DiscoverPlate via a GUI (version 1.5.x or higher), type
/dw tp
(without specifying a name) to open the GUI
DiscoverWarp Signs
You can place signs that will warp you to the specified DiscoverWarp plates
- Place a sign
- On the first line type: [DiscoverWarp] - the text to type is configurable
- On the second line type the name of the warp to go to
- Click Done to finish editing the sign - if there is a cost for buying the location, it will be placed on line 3
A player will be warped to the location if:
- they have already discovered the location
- there is a cost set and the player has sufficient balance
WorldGuard region discovery
To set them up:
- Add your WorldGuard region in the usual way
- Add a discoverplate inside the region where you want the warp point to be
- Run the
/dw set [name]
command as usual - The plugin should auto-detect the WorldGuard region and add it to the database along with the plate location
- Get another player to test it out...
- You're done!
Commands
/dw set [name]
- turns the stone or wood pressure plate you are standing on into a DiscoverPlate/dw delete [name]
- removes the specified DiscoverPlate/dw disable [name]
- disables the specified DiscoverPlate/dw enable [name]
- enables the specified DiscoverPlate/dw cost [name] [amount]
- set the cost for a DiscoverPlate/dw auto [name]
- toggle auto-discovery true|false for a DiscoverPlate/dw allow_buying
- toggles allow_buying true|false - requires Vault and a server restart to hook in your economy plugin/dw xp_on_discover
- toggles xp_on_discover true|false/dw sign [text]
- sets the text to type between the square brackets[ ]
on a DiscoverWarps sign/dw list
- lists enabled DiscoverPlates and shows if they are visited/not visited/dw tp [name]
- teleports you to the specified DiscoverPlate, can now be used from the console:- You need to supply a
[player]
argument - so the command becomes:dw tp [name] [player]
- The player must have discovered the plate first, to override discovery, supply a fourth argument -
true
- the command now becomes:dw tp [name] [player] true
- You need to supply a
/dw buy [name]
- Buy the specified DiscoverPlate location

Metrics
This plugin utilises Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:
- A unique identifier
- The server's version of Java
- Whether the server is in offline or online mode
- The plugin's version
- The server's version
- The OS version/name and architecture
- The core count for the CPU
- The number of players online
- The Metrics version
Opting out of this service can be done by editing plugins/Plugin Metrics/config.yml and changing opt-out
to true
UUID conversion
Versions 1.4 and higher of this plugin will connect to api.mojang.com to update player names in the database to UUIDs in order to support the upcoming name changes in Minecraft. It will do this one time only, when the server starts up after installing the new version of the plugin.
dont work with new worldguard :(

Holy f***. That request for the Skyrim like teleportation plugin was made by me about 6 years ago.
I've never expected to stumble upon this again and the funfact is I am gonna download this and will be using it again after 6 years LMFAO. I love life (I just tested and my old login credentials even still worked first try)

Can you add Money on Discover?
In reply to Forge_User_24685233:
Don't have much time for plugin coding these days, but I'll add it to the TODO list.
It would require a dependency on Vault, and will also probably only be compatible with Minecraft/Spigot 1.13 when it is released ...
In reply to eccentricnz:
Thank you, that was it! I was just making it more complicated than it had to be.
@addlepated03
There are only two permissions as listed above:
discoverwarps.use
- let players use discover platesdiscoverwarps.admin
- let players create discover platesWhen we updated to 1.9, our kids started getting messages saying they didn't have permission to use /dw at all. I managed to figure out how to add them into the Permissions config.yml so they could use the warps again.
Now they are unable to /dw set. I've tried all the combinations of dw.*: true dw.set: true discoverwarps.*: true and so on that I can think of to no avail. I'm a mom who runs a server for her kids, so not exactly a pro at this stuff. Can someone please let me know what I'm missing?
Thanks!
I love this plugin! But is it possible to edit the Prefix? Or do you don't want that?
@eccentricnz
yea that was my bad srry, loaded wrong version. thanks for the speedy response!
@Kamikazifrosty
Update the plugin, was fixed on March 16 - commit
Can you add color codes to the text for the GUI locations =)
Or just change the color to green something cooler? :D
@Kamikazifrosty
Ah, I didn't know that. I'll look into adding Dynmap support when I get time.
@eccentricnz
Hey , dynmap has a login system that limits chat and shows player specific info like the players home. this may or may not be able to be used to separate warps from showing on players that have not discovered them yet. just an idea, not sure if that's actually possible.
or alternatively just have an option for Admins to see them on the map for management purposes. maybe a permission to display them.
@Kamikazifrosty
Thanks :)
Not sure showing discovered warps on Dynmap is a good idea... what if one [player 1] discovers a warp, then [player 2] goes to the map and sees the same warp but he/she hasn't actually discovered it for themselves yet?
Greatest plugin ever!!
Please add dynmap support to show warps on map once discovered please! :)!

Stop server, edit, start server, don't use reload
