- Create Portals
Create as much portals as needed and don't run so much around anymore! - Multiple signs for one destiny
Create ten or twenty or how much you need FROM-portals - and one TO-portal! - Homepoints through signs
Create a homepoint and let your friends travel to it - or let them fall into the void! *hehehe*
HowTo create portals?
- Craft two signs
- Place the first where you want to be teleported from
- Don't write anything in the first line
- Type "[Portal]" in second line
- Enter a name in the third line
- And write "FROM" in the fourth line
- Place the second sign where you want to be teleported to
- Don't write anything in the first line
- Type "[Portal]" in second line
- Name it like the first sign
- And write "TO" in the fourth line
That's it. Now right-click the first sign to be teleported.
You can also place more signs to be teleported from, just label them similar.
HowTo create home-portals?

- Place the first where you want your homepoint
- Don't write anything in the first line

Bugfixing
- You're plugin is not working!
It works. Believe it. - I get errors!
Destroy the portals, delete the 'SignPortals' folder and try it again :)
For errors, use the ticket-function please.
Don't just write "XYZ is not working. HELP ME!"
How do I ... ?
All files are stored in the "plugins\PortalSigns\" folder.
- ... reset my portals?
First delete all portals ingame and then delete the "Portal.PS" file.
For specific portals open the "Portals.PS" file and delete them.
- ... edit the messages?
Open the "Config.Ps" file and edit them.
Take a look at the "Configuration" page here!
- ... report bugs the right way?
In your server log starts a line with "Caused by: ..." (If it's a real bug)
I just need the "Caused by: ..." and its following lines.

Version 1.6.4 Release 3 (should work with 1.6.4 and higher):

-> With TO-FROM: Set the first line of the TO-Sign to any permission you want and prevent people without permission to teleport to it!
-> With TWO-WAY: Set the first line of one of the signs to any permission you want (the second one will update itself)
Version 1.6.4 Release 2 (should work with 1.6.4 and higher):
- Had to remove version-checking
Version 1.6.4 Release 1 (should work with 1.6.4 and higher):
- This is more like a test if it still works. Because people sometimes think plugins won't work with higher versions :)
- fixed a bug, where the message wouldn't show when you place a home-portal and the target player has no home
Version 1.5.2 Release 6 (should work with 1.6.2 and higher):
- fixed a bug with the restriction-options, which prevented blocks from being destroyed (again :( ... I'm sorry!)

- fixed a bug with the restriction-options, which prevented blocks from being destroyed
Version 1.5.2 Release 4 (should work with 1.6.2 and higher):

- New config options:
PLAYER_PERMISSION_MISSING: Displayed, when a is missing a permission to do something
PORTAL_CREATION_BLOCK_COST: Displayed, when under a placed sign no "PortalCreationCostBlockID" is
VersionCheck (default: true): if true, the plugin sends OPs on login a message if a new version is available
SyncStorageFiles (default: false): if true, the plugin checks on startup (or reload) if the stored sign-values still exist in the world
PortalCreationCostBlockID (default: null): if set to a value, there has to be the block with this id under a sign to create a portal
Version 1.5.2 Release 3:
- On startup or reload, the plugin checks now if the portals still exist
- Messages are now a little bit more fancy :)
- Add permission / op check:
PortalCreationRestriction (default: false): if true, you have to be op / have the permissions to create a portal
PortalUsageRestriction (default: false): if true, you have to be op / have the permissions to use a portal
PortalDestructionRestriction (default: false): if true, you have to be op / have the permissions to break a portal
Version 1.5.2 Release 2

- Also, less chat messages! (Before there were 3 messages on portal creation)

@LilLDeath
No apology necessary! :D Just wanted to know if this was intentional or not. Your reasoning is justified.
@Bahzing
I've disabled using a portal while holding a block in your hand, because it causes block placement. So, to prevent placing blocks while teleporting, it's disabled. Sorry for that.
Hey there, Plugin works great. I appreciate the effort you put into it. I have noticed that portals do not work if you have a block in hand. Every other item works fine. I am wondering if there is a simple fix for this? If not, that's alright.
@IwuvMineCraft25920
Sorry, but without an error log, there is no error for me :/
@Lauren18rr
Thank ya :D
Perfect plugin.....!!!! The best i have been looking for ever@ Thankyou!!! very much I recomend this plugin
When I right click on the sign nothing happens
@famop
There is no updated needed. Just use version 1.5.1 :)
If it crashes, send me the error log.
Also, updates come as soon as the bukkit devs release a stable version of bukkit ;)
Nor am I ;)
How long is it till the update for 1.5.2 comes? Or can i use the this 1.5.1 version for 1.5.2 too?
(sorry if anything is wrong, i'm not english) ;)
@irishmarch
I'm sorry for let you waiting for me, but I have no influence on the speed of the bukkit devs :(
ok, thanks. I'll keep checking back. I won't update until you can, use your sign portals too much
@RobinHood999
There is no option at the moment to only allow ops to build portals, but if you want to i can add one :)
@77katz77
Yes, it can port between dimensions (if you mean that) :)
How do you make it so only ops can create these signs?
Does this plugin support multiple worlds (like having a multi-world plugin like multi-world or myworlds)?
@irishmarch
I just took a look on the bukkit website, but it seems there's no stable version of craftbukkit neither bukkit (bukkit is the modding api)
I will update this as soon as possible!
PLEASE please update to 1.5 !! I am waiting to update my server until your plugin is updated.
How do you get it in minecraft
@Jake7902
Nope. Everyone can use it.
Does it require permissions to allow non-ops to use them?
@StewartKlazinga
You could just use home portals, or maybe just call them "BaseA" and "BaseB" ?
But nice idea. I'm going to think about this :)
