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.

Check out my awesome server @

Actually, the error only appear when someone with CREATIVE mode is on. Survival players teleport works properly.
Sorry for my english, I hope this info help
Hi all,
Been pretty busy lately. I have tested the issue below on my own servers many, many times without issues, and I cannot replicate the problem. Have you all tried updating craftbukkit versions?
I will do some more testing tonight.
Its been 10 days since i posted about the bug teleporting, some others done it even before me. Yet no updates...This is so annoying! :D is the developer waiting for recommended? :E
@rmb938
Whats the issue?
I did some research and found out why this plugin is buggy for 1.4. I pmed cr0ssbreed to see if he is going to update or not. If he won't be updating I will post a fixed version for 1.4 :)
How do you teleport between worlds?
@Jungalist81
Same thing
I too am getting this issue.
I would like to request something in ancient gates. I would like the option of choosing either normal portal entity Or static water. Multiverse does this.
I prefer Ancientgates over multiverse for having a great setfrom and setto system. Multiverse fails because you have to type all of this shit for the setto command: /mv portal modify dest e:normal:<x,y,z>. You have to know the coordinates and write it down and then type all of that up. Or you can install ancientgates and type: setto. lol
wtf multiverse, why you so hard. That is why ancient gate is the victor.
@semirotta
I too am getting this issue.
Using 1.4.1 AG in 1.4.2 minecraft / bukkit --> Teleports straight to NETHER instead of where i set the portal teleport me into.
Could you fix it / update to 1.4.2? I really need this plugin to make the spawn ready.
EDIT:
Last edit was completely wrong.
This plugin works RANDOMLY! , For a while the players were able to go through portals and end up where it was ment to end up.
After some hours it changed! It's back to buggy one which takes everyone to NETHER.
Please update this plugin because many people uses this!
Wish i'd know how to code :D
Help! All my Ancient Gates lead me directly to the Nether! I´m on 1.4.2
Hello there,
I have some kind of problem with Ancient Gates, and it's not happening with TravelPortals (another teleportation plugin). When I go through a gate twice I appear half buried and when I go through it more times I find myself using constantly the /unstuck command, otherwise I would die by suffocation. Is someone having this specific problem? I'd like to know how to solve it.
Just in case, in my server I use:
AncientGates BattleShops BlockScripts Citizens EpicBoss Essentials Lift LWC MobBountyReloaded NoLagg ShelfIt TravelPortals WordlEdit WorldGuard
Thanks! And this plugin is amazing, I really want to solve this problem, my players keep being buried after the teleport. :S
@damname102
If you are using people's works for FREE, at least show them some gratitude!
@cr0ssbreed +1 on "- Fork Vault in, allowing costs per gate creation, teleport, etc." This plugin is great! I will definitely use it when Vault and economy are supported, and when there is a return feature.
this BADLY needs a loop feature to allow you to return like REALTELEPORTER has. i would be using RealTeleporter but unfortunately perms for it are fukkered up and regular members cannot use the teleporters. perms dont work with pex only bukkit or some crazy crap.
other than the lack of a loop/link feature for allowing the return of player through the portal AND the nether bug...not bad.
Oh good god I loved this plugin back in teh day! Thank you for updating this:)
This sounds awesome! Might have to give it a shot. It'd be nice if there were permissions on who could use the portals though. I'd love to have it as sort of an incentive for people who donate toward server costs. Or if there was a way to specify that the user must be holding a certain item in order for it to activate (like an enchanted item, acting sort of like a key). Though even without that stuff, it might be fun to just create some random gates underground for people to stumble upon. Looking forward to trying this out!
Yay!
Been MIA for a bit. Fixed operator and permissions issues, which were throwing NPE's when issuing gate commands.
Please post your error in at pastebin then give the link to that wepage. thanks
