FastTravel
Tired of having a non-realistic warping system? Well, here's the solution! I present to you FastTravel! It works like and is inspired by The Fast Travel system in most huge RPGs. If you've been to a place, you can come back without walking for countless minutes! Great for RPG servers, because people will have the fun of exploring while they still get the ability to teleport!
The project is currently being planned and coded, so please wait!
Coded by Technius
Art, ideas, concept and suggestions by Mastermichael64
To be clear, Technius is actually making the plugin and doing all the real work. Mastermichael64 just came up with idea for the plugin and contributes ideas and features. In short, the plugin only exists because both of them. Mastermichael64 would like to extend his gratitude to Technius for taking on the task of FastTravel, which was originally a plugin request.
Simple
We're working had to make it as user friendly as possible, with short, easy to remember commands like /ft, even the dullest of player can figure it out.
Unique
No other plugin does what FastTravel does, and if they do, they don't do it the way FastTravel does! FastTravels includes custom messages, waypoints, and settable FT regions!
Customizable
It's our general goal to make FastTravel able to be custom-tailored to every server it's install on! You can configure most aspects of the plugin to fit your needs! From the blocks, to the messages, to whether or not it charges and if so how much it charges, It really let's you configure it to your needs.
Feature Packed
FastTravel has a plethora of features like Charging money or items to warp, Making Waypoints or Regions, custom messages
Commands, Perms + Others
Commands with their perms are here: Commands And Permissions Old, outdated commands page: Commands
Other perms are here:
- fasttravel.discover
- This is so that you can "discover" waypoints so you can ft back to them.

(Okay, the description above may not be what it claims. The goal I am going towards is to try to make this plugin match this description) -Technius
The Future?
What I envision FastTravel to be in the future, is warping plugin that is aimed at RPG servers. Since cuboids may be heavy on the server, there will also be a "Lite" version, which uses signs instead of cuboid regions. There also may be Spout compatibility, where on entering a waypoint, an achievement badge may appear to show the location discovered, just like Skyrim's fast travel system. I like innovation, and that is what I will try to add into this plugin. -Technius
@Technius
Well yes, i gave myself the * permission which grants me permission for anything you know :) So it must be something else, i guess... Btw, are you planning to make a plugin reload command? I dont see why we should restart the server after making the points :)
@DarthLabrador
Please send me a PM regarding your crash details, including number of players, number of waypoints, and system memory.
As in crash-the-server lag. As in causing a 1 minute ping whenever someone enters a waypoint. Shortly after, the server crashes.
@DarthLabrador
How much lag? If there are about 10+ waypoints with large areas, there will be some lag, as with protection plugins.
How this works: Keeps a list of blocks, for each waypoint, in memory. When a player moves, it checks if the block the player is moving to is a cuboid. If it is, the player is sent a message and his/her list of discovered waypoints is updated. When the player leaves, the player's data is saved, and when the player joins, the player's data is loaded.
Help! This plugin causes massive latency when entering waypoints and ends up crashing the server!
No errors in console.
this looks soooooo cool! I always thought it was a bit cheap because people could fast travel/ teleport to anywhere they wanted without finding it first. I will say it again! looks really cool :) are there any testers for this plugin?
Looks nice. Will add to my server.
@Zenonic
You can do that with boosCooldown.
Add a config for warmup and cooldown for /ft perhaps? Something that HSP has for /home and /spawn so might aswell add a cooldown and warmup config for /ft aswell?
@Technius Thanks so much! Your plugin is awesome!
@DanishDude93
Did you discover it?
@Technius
I've also discovered something else. I've made just one waypoint, i can warp to it and everything. But when i type /ftlist or /ftlist 1, it gives me the msg "Discovered waypoints page 1 of 0", and no waypoints showing up. What exactly is happening? :O
And yeah, a config reload would be great :D
@DanishDude93
Why does there need to be a reload command? There's nothing to reload.
Yes it's possible to put a waypoint in the nether, this has multiworld support.
EDIT: Oh reload the config. Sure.
Reload command for plugin please. And is it possible to put a waypoint in the nether?
@Technius
Thanks so much! I'ma try to promote this plugin as much as possible.
Happy holidays :)
You really don't get enough credit for this amazing plugin, thank-you.
@Technius
no I mean commands not cooldowns. Idea is once you find waypoint you can trawel there only from another waypoint (any). Sort of portal waypoint system.
@DarthLabrador
Fine, I'll do it. Too busy atm, but expect an update by the end of the week.
Hi, could you PLEASE add configurable messages or at least post the source so I can add it myself? I just want to eliminate the entry/exit messages entirely, so I can have Waystones on my server, without it spamming "You have entered
-" all the time.@kozzy68
You mean you want a cooldown? Or you don't want anyone to fast travel?
