Getting Started

This page walks you through installing SoapsTeleporter and creating your first linked portal pair.


Requirements

Requirement Details
Server Paper 1.21+
Java 21 or newer
Required plugin SoapsCommon (same suite version)
Optional Vault + economy plugin for money costs
Optional PlaceholderAPI for scoreboard placeholders

Installation

  1. Install SoapsCommon if your server uses the standalone library JAR.
  2. Download SoapsTeleporter.jar and place it in plugins/.
  3. Start or restart the server.
  4. Confirm the plugin enables. Config files are created in plugins/SoapsTeleporter/.

Expected console output includes the plugin name and version 1.0.5.


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.
