Installation

SoapsTeleporter.jarand place it inplugins/. - Start or restart the server.

plugins/SoapsTeleporter/.

Your First Portal Pair
Step 1: Get the wand
/st wand
You receive the Portal Wand. Permission: st.command.wand (legacy alias: st.command.tool).
Step 2: Select two corners
With the wand in hand:
- Left-click a block to set position 1
- Right-click a block to set position 2
Both positions must be in the same world. You can also set positions with /st set p1 and /st set p2 while standing at each corner.
Step 3: Create the first portal
/st add spawn
Replace spawn with your portal name. Names are case-insensitive.
Step 4: Create the second portal
Move to the destination area, select two new corners, then:
/st add market
Step 5: Connect them
/st connect spawn market
Walking into either portal teleports the player to the other (standard two-way link).
Verify It Works
Walk into a portal. You should see particles, hear the teleport sound, and arrive at the linked portal.
If something fails:
/st info spawn
/st list
/st debug issues
/st debug overlay
Reload runs a self-test automatically:
/st reload
Portal Orientation
The plugin detects orientation from your selection:
- Vertical portals stand like doorways. Players walk through them.
- Horizontal portals lie flat like floor pads. Players step on them.
Flat selections (about 1 block tall with larger width or length) are treated as horizontal.
