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.

/dw cost [name] [amount]
Ok! And also, am I missing something, or is there no way to change the costs for allow_buying?
@Zoroark173
If a cost is set for the warp the sign uses it. Will only be free if the warp is already bought, or discovered.
Woohoo! Thanks for the update! So just to check- Can the signs TP you for either free or a cost?
@eccentricnz
lol thats why i said if not already done, because i didnt see anything about compatibility and i didnt know if there would be any warp conflicts etc.
@N1T3SLAY3R
What exactly are you after in terms of compatibility? Both plugins will happily co-exist on a server
hey can u add compatibility for essentials (their warps) if not already done that is :P thanks
Updated - see change log - check Files page (awaiting approval)
@Zoroark173
Bought warps already don't give you XP, you only get XP if you discover the warp.
Will add signs this weekend.
More suggestions! Could you make it so that signs could do stuff, like bringing you to warps, with both free and at a cost options! Also, a config option to allow bought warps not to give you EXP.
Many thanks ^^
@deryer7
default: op
todefault: true
It should look like this: plugin.ymli do know how to find it etc, just need a bit direction on how to change it, so inside the plugin.yml i need to change to op words to which one?
@deryer7
If you don't use a permissions plugin, you will have to edit the plugin.yml file found inside the DiscoverWarps.jar. If you don't know how to do this, you should probably just install PermissionsBukkit
And how do change it you dont use permissions?
@deryer7
Give non-op players the permission:
How can i change that non-op players can use this?
@Zoroark173
Have added some new features in the latest version
Whoops, I meant /dw toggle money, not /SW XD
It's me again! Another request for this would be allowing people to set Discovered Warps as their spawn. Created warps are automatically set to have spawning be false, but of you Stan on the pressure plate, and type in /dw toggle spawn, it would allow people to type in /dw setsspawn [name] So that people could have warps be their spawn points. Also, maybe have /SW toggle money [amount] which makes people have to pay a certain amount of money to add it to their list of tpable places (which of course could be bypassed with a permission)
