Craft Inc. Gates
Craft Inc. Gates
This awesome plugin lets you travel to far away places and worlds faster than light! Just create a gate at any location and set an exit somewhere else.
This has been made available by the hard work of the research and development department of the Craft Inc. Corporation. Under the lead of Professor Ddidderr Craftman scientists worked years to find a way to bend time and space inside the Minecraft universe to enable ultra fast transportation.
Now it is time for you to try out this wonderful plugin. Simply install, create a gate and feel the funny tickle inside your brain while traveling.*
The key features of this are:
- Dynmap integration (Demo)
- Gates with and without frames
- Gates consisting of portal blocks and gates made of air (so called hidden gates)
- Gates with destinations in different worlds
- Gates with custom shapes (gates can look any way you want)
- Riding through gates
*The Craft Inc. Corporation won't take any responsibility for seasickness, memory loss and sudden suffocation in walls while traveling with one of our gates!
FAQ
Who can create a gate?
Have a look at the Permissions page.
Who can destroy a gate?
Anyone if you do not use a third-party protection plugin like Grief Prevention.
Is there a IConnomy integration? Features for user to dial other gates etc?
Nope. We currently don't plan to integrate such features. If you really need such an integration please inform us. If there are a lot of people requesting such features we might change our mind.
Is there a list of all commands?
Sure, type /gate help in-game or have a look at the Commands page.
When I destroy the frame of a gate it stops working. Shouldn't it still work?
Yes and no. To make gates work without a frame you need to tweak the checkForBrokenGateFrames setting. Have a look at the Configuration page for more information.
Usage
With this plugin you can create gates which will teleport players anywhere you want. The gates can look any way you like.
To make the gate work place yourself inside a newly created gate frame and type /gate new [id]. Afterwards walk to the destination of your gate and type /gate exit [id] to set the destination. With /gate open [id] you can get your newly created gate to work.
To hide a gate simply call /gate hide [id]. Now that gate won’t be made of purple portal blocks while open.
Have a look at the Commands page to find out how to modify gates even further.

This project is a fork of the original Ancient Gates. It is licensed under the LGPL just like the Bukkit project. Thanks to all current and previous contributors. The font used for the Craft Inc. Gates logo is called MineCrafter 3 and has been made available under the creative commons license. Thanks to Asherz08, MadPixel and Ashley Denham for this great font. This plugin utilizes 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. You can disable the stat collection via /plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml if you wish.
Help! Why can I see portals in the distance at about 17 chunk. I tested this with me friend he can also see them. How can I get rid of it?
This is a wonderful and fun plugin. My only issue is that colored glass and wool are reverted back to white when using Info on a gate. Other than that, it works perfectly as advertised. A perfect addition to any server!
@Lupus_Irae
You can create as many gates as you want. There is no limit!
Is there an upper limit to the number of gates allowed? Thanks
@mastalol
This plugin is open source, everyone is invited to change it. So feel free to mod the hell out of it :D
@tomco23
I am guessing it worked, because you added the soft dependency into your plugin.yml :P I am fairly new with modifying plugins, and your's was the first one I had to modify to make it work. Hopefully that is alright with you.
@dotapurex1
I had a deeper look into it. It is actually not a Spigot problem but rather one of Bukkit.
Good news that is should be fixed with the next Bukkit/Spigot release. (It is already fixed in the latest CraftBukkit development build.)
@tomco23
Spigot Build #1319
The gates are not being recognized. When having Build #1319 in, the gates are not opened and when i do /gate list, there are no gates. Reverting back to an older version of spigot works. However, will need an update of craft inc gates for further spigot builds.
EDIT: The directory is creating a different name than before, that was why there were no gates! New directory name: Craft_Inc._Gates
@dotapurex1
How? What is not working? Logs? Exceptions?
Sorry I only do a litte testing with spigot. Main testing is always only done using craft-bukkit
Gates are broken on the latest spigot build?
@THCFrosD
You got a PM
I am also having the problem with the gates closing by themselves.4 of them at my survival spawn and we started rebuilding our HUB I put in a gate for mini games and upon rebooting the one in HUB and 4 out of 10 in main spawn go out. If need me or my staff to show it to you please visit us at our server at: mc6.fadehost.com:25628
or our website: smitecraft.us (if that doesnt work as go daddy takes a long time for domain forwarding)
try: This Here
@mastalol
We are doing some testing to see what is causing his problems.
But thanks for your comment, we will see if you are right :)
@Evil_GamerGR
Not sure how you have it setup, but I know if you are trying to use these gates with a multiworld plugin you need to make sure this plugin has a softdependancy on that plugin so that this plugin loads after the multiworld plugin (such as Multiverse, Multiworld, RoyalCommands, ...)
@tomco23
Sweet, yeah I'd love to have that.
@tomco23
today again 2 gates closed and when i typed /gate open <the id of the gate> it said that the gates didn't have an exit point .. the console doesn't have any log :S
@Evil_GamerGR
Any chance you can reproduce that issue? Anything special about those gates? Is there anything in the server logs? (Send me logs as a PM if you think I should have a look at it!) I'm currently not sure why your gates are getting closed?
@steelsky25
Teleporting support for players riding horses was already on the roadmap once. It somehow got lost. I'll have a look at it soon. If there aren't any huge problems I'll add it in the next version.
i love this plugin but the only bad thing is that the gates are closing by themselves .. i have a lobby spawn and sometimes the exit points were missing but i didn't remove them ..
Love this mod! Works really well, only one drawback though - people on horses can't teleport through the portals. Quite unfortunate as in large multi-world servers this is fairly important, any chance you'd be able to add that in?
