Multiverse Portals is a complement module to Multiverse-Core, which allows the creation of custom portals. Unlike normal portals, MV Portals can be configured to make their destination anywhere. For example, a portal in the overworld could be set up to send you to the Nether, 15 blocks forward, or even another world (using Multiverse)
All Multiverse modules (such as Portals) require the Multiverse-Core plugin to also be installed. Additionally, the extension module must be the same version as the Multiverse-Core that you have installed. For example, if Multiverse-Core is 4.0.0, Multiverse-Portals should be 4.0.0.
# Installing Multiverse Portals
You can install your plugins with our plugin installer, or by uploading the JAR files via FTP.
- Access your control panel and Stop your server.
- Install Multiverse-Portals, you can do this via two methods:
Manually install Multiverse-Portals, which you can learn how to do so with our guide here.
- Start your server to install the plugin & its configuration.
# Making your First Portal
Once you construct a portal, you can then configure it using a wand.
- Build your entry and exit portals.
Portals can be constructed out of any block, they can also be any size and shape that you want. You can fill the portal with glass panes to make them look better if you’d like. Here are some example portal shapes you might try:
- Obtain a Multiverse portal wand:
- As an operator, enter the command
/mvp wand. If you do not have access to this command then you will need to OP yourself, you can see how to do so here. - If you have WorldEdit installed you can use their wand instead via the command //wand.
- Using either wand, left-click one of the corners of your portal. You should see “First position set to (x, y, z)”.
- Now, again using the wand, right-click the opposite corner block. You should see “Second position set to (x, y, z)”.
- To create the portal within these dimensions enter the following command:
/mvp create (portalname)
Your first portal has now been created!
# Linking 2 Portals Together
Once you have a portal created, you can then connect this portal to another that you have created.
- Once you have two portals created, select the entry gate of the first portal using the following command
/mvp select (portalname). - Now modify the destination (exit) portal with the command:
/mvp modify dest p:(exitportalname). - If you want this portal to send you back to the previous location, do the same but the other way around. Starting from step 1, selecting the entry gate, then setting the destination location.
Additional Commands:
/mvp list will display all of the currently set up portals on your server.
/mvp remove (portalname) will delete a portal.
For advanced commands you can use, check out the GitHub Wiki.
# Portal Destinations
Multiverse-Portals benefits from being able to use Multiverse-Core’s destination locations. To make use of these features, add the following to the end of your modify destination command (/mvp modify dest …):
w - Specifies a world destination (e.g. w:worldname:se) including a compass bearing at the end will ensure you are facing the right direction after being teleported (se= South East). Compass bearings can be found by pressing F3 (Fn + F3 on macOS).
e - Specifies a world & coordinate destination (e.g. e:worldname:x,y,z).
p - Specifies another portal as the destination (e.g. p:otherportalname).
