FAQ
How do you create a Portal?
- First choose the Portal destination and set it using "/wpdc [name]". This command will set the destination to your current location, world AND angle of view.
- Second, build a portal of any shape out of Gold Blocks. These will make up the Portal's body.
- Third, hold a non-block item and run the command "/wppc [portalName] [destName] [portalBlockMaterial]". This will make it so the next Gold Block you click will turn them into a Portal made of the specified portalBlockMaterial, eg WATER.
- Fourth, right-click any one of the Gold Blocks you built. The plugin will find all adjacent Gold Blocks and turn them all into a Portal!
- Fifth, profit.
Who can use a WarpPortal?
Any one can use a WarpPortal by default. You can revoke someone's WarpPortal rights by setting their permission "warpportal.enter" to false. New: The WarpPortals' Event API allows for this to be overridden!
How do you use WarpPortals?
WarpPortals are always active and simply walking though one will teleport you to its destination.
Who can create/admin a WarpPortal?
Only players who are ops or have the "warpportal.admin" permission.
What settings are there?
- You can change whether normal Nether/End portals function. For example, setting this to false would mean that when a player walked through a Nether portal that they activated with flint, nothing would happen.
- You can change the general Text Color used by the plugin. By default Yellow.
- You can adjust the max portal size. This limit exists so that a Portal so large that it would eternally crash the server can't be created. By default 1000.
- You can change the teleportation message. By default it is "Wooooooooosh!"
- You can change the teleportation message Text Color. By default Purple.
Is there Economy support?
No. Portals are always active and currently don't support any form of Economy plugins. New: The WarpPortals' Event API provides the means for an external plugin to be written to handle this.
What bugs are there?
<s>Ghost Portals: Currently, anyone can break the Portal Blocks that make up the Portal and that will cause the PORTALENTERED event to never fire. This means that to the plugin the Portal still exists but realistically it isn't there anymore. To keep this from happening something like WorldGuard should be used to protect the Portals (though this protection may be a built-in feature in the future). To deal with the possibility of all the Portal blocks getting broken in a Portal, you can use the "/pdelete [portalName]" command to return the Portal to its original Gold Block form. If only a few blocks get broken, simply replacing them with new Portal Blocks should work._</s> Fixed in version 4.1.3
<s>Bad Text Colors: Also, the Text Color settings don't appear to be cross OS Compatible. By default they are setup for Windows but if they don't work for you (if you get white text from the plugin) all Text Color Codes are editable in the Plugin's settings file.</s> Fixed in version 2.0.1
<s>Single Width Portals: Single width portals can only face East or West. This is a very weird bug but it is an unfortunately un-fixable problem. Portal block orientation is decided off of the adjacent portal blocks. Therefore, if two portal blocks are side-by-side, they will connect and face the right way. (Side Note: Even this was a hack and required overriding portal block physics). Sadly, a single portal block doesn't have anything to base it's orientation upon and will then default to East/West. This forum thread details the problem <https://forums.bukkit.org/threads/rotating-portal- blocks.12598/forums.bukkit.org/threads/rotating-portal-blocks.12598/></s> Only applies to WarpPortals made of Nether Blocks as of version 4.1.3

API
WarpPortals now has an Event API. Bukkit explains Events at Event API Reference. WarpPortals triggers custom events allowing other plugins to tie into these events. The events provide player & portal information and allow other plugins to cancel the portal teleportation.

@nashoxx
Actually any shape of gold blocks should work. That's odd that it isn't working for you. Just as an FYI, the gold blocks are what make the portal so make sure to click on them; the exterior frame doesn't matter.
@R6Nick
Set the config to "&none" without the quotes and that should remove the message!
@R6Nick
I have tried in the config. I just put it blank and it still shows up as Woooosh!
Is there a way to not have any message while going into the portal? Thanks.
Is there a way to set permissions so only certain groups can go through Enderportals and everybody can go through Nether Portals???
I have a permissions problem: only Ops can use the portals; normal players don't Wooooooosh!, they just stay in the portal and nothing happens. Can somebody please help me.
I have a problem with my permissions. Only OPs can go through the portals; normal users just end up in the portal with nothing happening. Could someone please help me?
If I can get this working, WarpPortals will be one of the best plugins on our server.
Could it be some sort of clash with WorldGuard not letting non-OPs use the portals?
@XpTaoZ
It didn't work for me the first time, you don't have to make like the lines of the portal, you got to make it like a complete one like 3x3x5 full made of gold, even the interior, because is the interior what makes the portal.
whenever i make a portal nothing changes apart from the blocks and when i step in nothing happens :( plz help
Hi,
First, thanks for this very nice plugin really useful !
I think I have discovered an incompatibility problem with PermissionsEx 1.20.3...
Since PermissionsEx 1.20.3, WarpPortals commands (eg. /plist) don't produce anything when used from a Minecraft client but continue to work when typed on the server console. Already defined portals continue to work fine.
Did I miss something ?
I've crated the ticket #15 with inside the used test case.
@Polska_1999
This plugin will work in multi-world setups. The portals can teleport players between worlds.
Some portals are not working, and also in survival it takes very long to go through or sometimes doesn't even work Can someone help? I can PM my ip if you would like to check on everything
Does the plugin have mutliworld support?
i really dont understand how to make the portals though or what to tyoe in the config file
@TheBigDippa
Version 4.2.1 has a safety feature where it creates a backup of the data file after every portal creation. This should make data recovery easier. Sorry that that happened to you!
@wint0
This has been implemented in the latest version 4.2.1! In the config.yml file, set portals>teleport>message to "&none", without the quotes.
@wint0 @Enitoni
I do not know if this has been mentioned before, but I had some issues regarding this plugin. In the end, I found out this plugin is not initially compatible with the plugin Precious Stones. All you have to do is change the grief protection block (Gold Block) defaulted by precious stones to a different block.
This is one of my favorite plugins! It is because a great plugin. want to set that does not display a message when moving. need your help please implement.
I'am having the same problem as @YapZiYang, but all of my portal data has been deleted when the server restated... it wasn't the first restart tho like the 5th one. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Do you have to save it somehow? anyways please help!!!!! I LOVE THIS PLUGIN <3
