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 :)
Configuration
There are only 4 configuration option:
requireEmptyInventory : Do players have to clear their inventory before using a Whooshing Well?
Available Options: true | false
requireEmptyArmor : Do players have to remove their armor before using a Whooshing Well?
Available Options: true | false
allowNetherWells : Can Whooshing Wells lead to a Nether world?
Available Options: true | false
allowEndWells : Can Whooshing Wells lead to a End world?
Available Options: true | false
How is this a "World Generator?"
I am led to believe that you purposely miscategorized this plugin in order to get more exposure. Why don't people get banned for this? It is pretty much spamming. :/
Would it at all be possible to add permission nodes for specific destinations. I.e one wishing well only VIPS could use where as other wells everyone can use?
can you add the feature of always-on invisible portals (vertical and horizontal)
thx :)

v1.2.0 has been uploaded and is awaiting approval
This one adds the ability to set custom destinations for your Whooshing Wells.
use "/ww setdest [Destination Name]" to set a named destination at your current location, the use that destination name in line 2 of your sign when creating your well.
Simple!
For any bugs or suggestions... please post as tickets using the tab at the top.
Thank you very much again for adding the new option with empty armor.
Just uploaded v1.1.1 which adds wooden buttons as an option to the whooshing well layout
@TheRickBoy
Sure no problems
I'll make a video of this plugin soon.
If I do, can you put it in your official post? If it's good, of course... :3
Hey, I found a weird bug. If you use the well with a wooden button, it counts it as an error. Just thought I would let you know, I had a whole wooden theme going on, but I guess 1 stone button doesn't hurt :).

Just getting started in streaming but really enjoying it!
Stop by if you get a chance!
@optiknerve
where's your stream? I's like to tune in if I can
Amazing thank you much!!! Keep up the great work, been streaming your plugin, and getting great responses!! Looking forward to this update :)
@optiknerve
This has been addressed in v1.1.0, which I've just uploaded for authorisation.
You can now use the world ID instead of the world name by putting the following on line 2 of the sign:
world:[world ID]
The world IDs have now been added to the "/ww list" command so you can find them easily.
I also added the ability to prevent people building wells that lead to Nether and End worlds, because I had a problem with that on my own server.
Enjoy, and keep the feedback coming. Please post all faults, bug reports and suggestions as tickets otherwise I could miss them when I update in the future.
First off, great plugin, im really enjoying it.
Two Questions though:
1: what to do if world name is to long for sign line 2 2: what to do if world name has spaces in it
works great for me otherwise on the new bukkit 1.4.2 beta build. i just cant add my main world because it contains spaces and is to long for one line on a standard sign.
great stuff

I've sent in another ticket about having no armour on before teleporting. Everyone please check it out and if you think it's good then vote up for it.
Thanks a lot, ellbristow! You're a legend!
Update!
Whooshing Well is officially released! Version 1.0.0 has just been uploaded!
This version allows all new stair types to be used and includes the new "Empty Inventory" feature requested by Thunder_waffe
Please report any bugs or requests as tickets (rather than comments here) and I'll take a look for you! :)
Whoosh!
Update! My plugins are currently on hold while we wait for 1.3, since the 1.3 update will more than likely break large portions of most of my plugins! Sorry for the delay and please stay tuned for future releases.
Hi, I'm having some trouble with deleting a world that I made. Whenever I use the /ww deleteworld command, a part of the folder that contains the world information is left, and when I start the server, it restores the world. Any solution to this? Thanks :)
EDIT: I've got some info that might help. It only deletes the "data" folder and the "players" folder.
EDIT2: Never mind, it was caused by leftover data in the config file.
