Portal Stones Plugin
Help us create more Minecraft plugins like this one.
Portal Stones
Portal Stones introduces a new item, Portalstone.
Portalstone can be used to bind regular nether portals to a portal stone. Once the Portalstone has been bound to two or more portals you can use the stone to fuse the portals together into a portal path way. Once fused, the portal path ways may be traversed by any entity that would normally be able to traverse a nether portal.
Use Portalstone as a quick, fun, and easy admin tool to set up portal ways that will easily get players around your server.
Use Portalstone to set up portal ways for quick navigation around your structures without the need for commands and tools that require manual block selection.
Use Portalstone to set up portal ways from friends houses to yours, no more /teleport me where ever if I am allowed commands.
Use Poralstone to create circular portal ways by using one stone, or use multiple stones to form multi path ways that link one path way into another.
Use Portalstone for creating even more elaborate factories by sending items through the portal ways.
Configure whether Portalstone will drop occasionally while mining Redstone ore.
Configure the drop chance to what ever you like.
Configure whether Portalstone is craftable using a recipe you create in-game.
Configure whether throwing Redstone into a nether portal will bounce Portalstone back out.
Limitless portal path ways may be created to use on your server.
Automatically saves when your world(s) do(es) keeping portal path ways in sync with world data.
With Portal Stones, the possibilities are endless!
** This plugin uses auto updates. You choose whether you want to use them or not by changing the value of "Auto updates enabled:" in the plugin's config.yml. **
*If your server is running a plugin similar to multiverse (other than multiverse) you must add a soft-dependency to that plugin to PortalStones.
To do this:
Rename your PortalStones.jar to PortalStones.jar.zip
Open the zip file.
Open the plugin.yml from within the zip file to edit it.
Add in a soft-dependancy like this:
softdepend: [Multiverse-Core]
softdepend: [Place Other Plugin Name Here]
commands:
...
Rename the .zip back to .jar
Start the server.

F.A.Q.
Q: I am reloading the server but my configuration changes are not being loaded. How come?
A: You have most likely been editing "defaultConfig.yml". The "defaultConfig.yml" is just there for reference you want to be editing "config.yml"
Q: How do I remove a portal way?
A: Simply break the obsidian using a Diamond Pickaxe and the portal way is automatically removed.
Q: What about permission?
A: Portal Stones does not have any permissions of its own. It can easily be used in conjunction with already existing permissions however. For example:
Players cannot remove another players portal unless they have permission to destroy the obsidian block it is made out of.
Players cannot use other players portals if they do not have permission to open a door to the room a portal is inside of.
Q: What about other languages?
A: We currently have Item Localization for English, German and French.
We are hoping to add other localization in the future.

Posted Apr 26, 2022Hi, thank you for the plugin, I love it! One thing that might be broken tho: since the new update, all the redstone is in the deepslate, so redstone_ore is really rare. I can only find deepslate_redstone_ore, and when mining it, it doesn't drop any portal stones. Can you add the deepslate variant so it drops when mining deepslate? Thank you

Posted Dec 20, 2020Can you allow configuration to customise the crafting recipe? I'd like to have players craft it only, but choose my own style.

Posted Jan 23, 2019Thanks for making the plugin.
I've come across a problem, or maybe it's just user error. Don't Know.
So my situation. I've linked 2 portals, A and B. Works as advertised. So later on I decided to add a 3rd portal, C, to the link/system. I just can't find a way, don't know, maybe I was going at it wrong. Gave up and linked C to A creating a 2nd link/system. Going from A to B and B to A works fine. Going from C to A works but can't get back to C through A, I just get teleported to B.
Is it possible to add a new portal to an already established link/system, or do you have to break the whole thing and go through the process again this time with the new portal included? And the two-way A to B but one-way C to A situation, am I doing something wrong? I'm running a Spigot 1.13.2 server. First time using Spigot and plugins and not running vanilla or forge, so could very well be user error.

Posted Dec 9, 2018Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
I have heard of other servers with multiverse using the plugin, but it is impossible to know exactly how the stones are being used.
I will look into this issue and get it resolved as soon as possible.
I may need to contact you directly if I can't figure out what is causing myself.
I appreciate your feedback.
If anyone else has issues if any kind please feel free to let me know, I am more than happy to resolve them.

Posted Dec 5, 2018First of all - nice work, I really like this method of hijacking the existing portals ..... but I've come across a niggle - I'm using the Multiverse 2.5.0 plugin and I've found that Portal Stones will work as expected in the lobby world (really nice !) but if I make a portal in another world and link to that from the lobby world then the portal is a one way portal i.e. I can go from lobby world to the other world but not back !!!!!!! I really like this portal method - any chance you can tweek it to work with multiverse - I think it may have something to do with the fact that new worlds don't come with end or nether worlds attached so there would be no nether or end maps for a vanilla portal to link to which creates a non-working portal - Currently running on a spigot 1.13.1 server
