Portals
Portals
Portals allows you to create sender/receiver portals and two way portals.
The portals can be specified on different channels, and each channel can have multiple sender/receivers(a random receiver will be chosen if there's more than one on a channel), and 1 two way portal (both points of the portal).
The channel can be specified by any name, including numbers and letters
To use a portal after creating one, simply walk on it.
Placing a block on a portal or destroying the block a portal is on will destroy the portal, but players without the delete permission won't be able to.

Important!
If you are using a mutliworld plugin, you must tell portals what the name of the plugin is in the configuration file, or else risk your portals being deleted upon server restart
New In This Update
Updated to Dev Builds of Bukkit 1.7.2
Commands
- /psender <channel> - creates a sender portal on that channel on the block you're standing on
- /preceiver <channel> - creates a receiver portal on that channel on the block you're standing on
- /ptwoway <channel> - creates a two way portal on that channel on the block you're standing on
- /pignore - don't get teleported by portals
- /pdelete <channel> - if no channel is specified deletes the channel under you, otherwise clears all the portals on the specified channel, or /pdelete all can be used, which deletes all the portals on the server
Permissions
portal.use - lets you use portals if usage perms are required in the config
portal.use.<name> - lets you use portals on that channel if channel perms are required in the config
portal.use.* - lets you use portals on all channels if channel perms are required in the config
- /psender - portal.sender
- /preceiver - portal.receiver
- /ptwoway - portal.twoway
- /pignore - portal.ignore
- /pdelete - portal.delete
Configuration
In the config file there are options to make permissions required to use any portals, then to require permissions for specific channels. If you don't require permissions to use portals, then it won't let you require channels.
If you wanted players to be able to only use portals on channel 1, your config would look like this:
General:
Require_Permission_To_Use_Portals: true
Require_Channel_Specific_Permissions: true
And their permissions would look like this:
portal.use
portal.use.1
Also you can make portals either use the player going into them's rotation or the rotation that the player that created the portal had and choose whether to have the portal effects or not (blindness and nausea), as well as tell portals what multiworld plugin (if any) you're using
To Do
Nothing on here is guaranteed to happen, these are just ideas I had.
- Add a /pchanlist command to see all the channels being used by portals
- Add a /pinfo command to see the channel and portal type of the portal you're standing on
- Add a /plist <channel> command to see all portals on a channel, their type, and their location
Bugs
Please report bugs as a ticket.
- Players can potentially fall through world or get stuck in world
- Players can get stuck between two way portals

using 1.2.4 i cannot disable the whoosh effect which really puts a damper on my server
@Wazes
im having this same issue with 1.7.2 and 1.7.10
Portals bug: http://paste.md-5.net/raw/tojamebena
@teddy_love_cake
Switch to v1.2.4
hey i get this error everytime a portal is made or use any ideas? using 1.2.6 on mc 1.7.2 cauldron http://pastebin.com/iwE78syU
Can this be used to disable portal creation without disabling the Nether itself? The option for doing the former in Essentials doesn't work in 1.7 since people can just light the sides.
@SkippTekk
bukkit hadn't released a build of bukkit that I could release this under for 1.7.9 when I updated this, but if you could test it out for me it'd be great!
Dude, as i said to you before. people WILL love this plugin. cause it's what it does as the name says. :] possible update to the 1.7.9 or is already stable for it?
Hey meeees, I have just tested out the latest version of your plugin Portals and it is working just as the bukkit page says it should. I have had no problems with two way portals or just one way. The server has not reacted badly to the plugin. Everything runs smooth
I just checked the plugin with the latest beta build of bukkit and it has no errors codewise, and I put out a file with that. However, I have not had time to test this on a private server, so if people could test it out on servers and send me error logs it would be a great help in trying to get this plugin back to where it was.
Sorry everyone, school is hard to deal with and it's eaten most of my time, the year is calming down now though and I plan to update the plugin within the week, provided bukkit hasn't thrown in too many new things that I will have to compensate for. Sorry for the wait!
Hey man, i noticed you haven't updated this plugin, i guess either you have stopped using it or just been busy with life. I really liked this plugin and i hope too see it Updated soon D:
Hey, I need help for where to go to cinfigure settings. Please help me.
First of all, I love Portals. Great plugin, light, effective and intuitive. Keep up the good work guys! :-)
Since recently I am not able anymore to create a sender or receiver portal. I get the message "You can't create a sender portal" or receiver portal... All the existing portals still work fine.
I am ops on my server. I have no permissions set at all in permissions.yml file of craftbukkit and I made no changes to the config.yml of Portals. I use the latest Portals version (1.2.4) and the latest craftbukkit version (2.1).
Oh, wait, I just disabled PEX and now it works. I guess I found the plugin I need to configure to fix this problem...
@Rapidgame7
Yes, you're right, so I just need to set auto load to true in all worlds? Or do I need to re-configure the Portals plugin?
@jakoblierman
MAAAAAYBE, what's happening to you it's like what happened to me. Using multiverse, I made a world with 2 portals (sender & receiver), then I made it not to auto load. When I restarted the server, portals was halting the server from loading. Because Portals needs to place the portals.
Maybe is that?
Plugin not starting on 1.6.4... I updated Bukkit and one plugin stopped the server from booting, it is Portals (did research). Any suggestions?
hey, anyone know how to get rid of the "whoosh" in the chatbox when going through a portal?
I am having problems with the permissions for the plugin!
Portal config file: Require permission to use portals: true Require channel specific permissions: true
Permissions file: portals.use portals.use.exampleportal ^ Even though I have given the player these permissions, It still says that they don't have permission to teleport!
I recently installed the ClickWarp plugin, the Portal plugin had been working fine up to then. I am not sure whether ClickWarp interferes with the Portal plugin. Has anyone had this problem before?
@999Mockingjay999
You could just make the portal add a frame and place a block in the corner of each side, then using WorldEdit set lava (or any other block you want)
Hope this helps!
