Multiverse Portals Plugin FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I select an area for a portal?
You need WorldEdit installed. Use a wooden axe to left-click one corner and right-click the opposite corner to define your portal area, then use /mvp create [name] to build the portal in that selection.
Can I make a portal out of any block?
Yes, you can build portal frames from any block type—wood, stone, concrete, or even decorative blocks like wool or terracotta. The portal frame is purely visual; the actual teleport zone is defined by your WorldEdit selection.
What's the difference between sending players to a world vs. coordinates?
Sending to a world teleports players to their spawn point in that world, while sending to exact coordinates lets you place them at a specific location like X:100 Y:64 Z:-200. Use /mvp modify dest [destination] with either format.
How do I stop players from using a portal too much?
Set a cooldown timer using the portal modification commands to add a delay between uses. This prevents portal spam and can help manage server performance or gameplay balance.
Can I charge players to use portals?
Yes, you can set a fee for portal entry and configure which players or groups get free access. This is useful for creating an economy system or restricting portal use to certain players.
Do boats and minecarts work through portals?
Yes, players can ride boats and minecarts directly through portals and arrive at the destination still in their vehicle, making it useful for themed transportation networks.
Can I make a portal launch players into the air?
Yes, you can configure portals to shoot players upward when they enter, which is useful for creating fun jump pads or reaching elevated areas.
How do I see all portals on my server?
Use /mvp list to display all created portals and their current settings. This helps you manage multiple portals and verify they're set up correctly.
What happens if I delete a portal?
The portal is removed and players can no longer use it to teleport. The blocks you built the frame from remain in place—only the portal functionality is deleted.
Can portals run commands when players enter?
Yes, you can set up portals to execute server commands when a player walks through them, allowing you to trigger events, give items, or run custom actions automatically.
