WhooshingWell

This is a world teleportation mod with a twist. Rather than futuristic stargates and nether portals filled with water, this one is a little more fun!

Create a portal to another world with a Whooshing Well .. a simple construction that you activate with a button and jump inside. (Jump optional... really you just fall in). Each portal goes to either the spawn point of one world, or a custom set destination (specified by a sign attached to the well).

Permissions can prevent people you don't want from using the Whooshing Well (or rather grant the ability to those you do) and there are very few commands.

Built in to the plugin is the ability to create (or delete) the new world using simple commands. No need for Multiverse or any other worldgen mod (and I haven't tested for any possible clashes between them).

How to Make A Whooshing Well

A Whooshing Well is a very simple 4 x 4 structure (which is not so simple to explain, see pictures)

• FIRST ... ensure the destination exists
  • Run "/ww list" to get destination names, or use "/ww addworld" or "/ww setdest" to create a new one
• Place 2 stair blocks (any type) on each side of a 4x4x square
• Make sure the 4 blocks in the middle are empty (you can dig down to make it look more like a well when its not activated)
• Place any blocks you can attach buttons and signs to in the 4 corners
• On one side, on the left block attach a button (Stone or Wood)
• On the SAME side, on the right block attach a sign with [ww] in line 1 and the world or destination name in line 2
  • If your world name does not fit, put "world:" followed by the world id, which you can get from the "/ww list" command
• If you have built it correctly and the world exists, and you are allowed to build a well to the requested destination, you have created a Whooshing Well... otherwise you'll get an error message and the sign will pop off the wall.
• Add whatever decoration you like to make it look more like a well (or whatever you want it to look like).. but make sure the 4 centre blocks stay empty.
• Push the button to activate the portal

To remove a WhooshingWell, you must destroy the sign first, then you will be able to destroy the other blocks.

Whooshing Well Examples

On the left is the minimum allowable layout BEFORE you place the sign, although you actually only need 2 of the 4 corner blocks... but this way looks better :)
