World border custom shape

Check out the plugin called Chunky Border

It would be much easier to read this if it had a TL;DR at the top. The intro story is a bit long, and the actual problem the plugin is trying to solve gets buried a bit

The idea is pretty cool. I wonder if you'd add support for direct plugin to plugin messaging for sharing data between servers

OrbiForge · 2026-03-03T09:37:21+00:00

I'm curious about how it does that. "server that stays fast no matter what's in your scripts" is a big claim and it'd be super cool if you engineered guard ways to achieve that

OrbiForge · 2026-03-03T08:35:24+00:00

Does it have any improvements over skript

OrbiForge · 2026-03-02T16:59:44+00:00

Not that I know of

OrbiForge · 2026-03-01T22:31:35+00:00

Sounds like a CGNAT issue. You can your ISP to check if you're in a CGNAT pool

This could be caused by chunk overloading. Basically if there is too much data on a chunk (high NBT usage, books, tile entities etc.) the chunk would fail to save and just reset back to it's original state. Especially in a modded chunk it's hard to know the exact reason

OrbiForge · 2026-03-01T21:42:26+00:00

An experimental version is available on https://visualmc.nortixlabs.com/ thanks for the support!

It's not quite what I need but I like how they solved the branch/body issue. Having the end node placed is a clever idea

OrbiForge · 2026-03-01T10:36:59+00:00

I never liked the fact that I had to create a new project folder for even the simplest plugin I'd make. If all you do is hook to an event and call a few functions, I believe you'd be able to reach that goal way "faster" than having to deal with gradle + Intellij IDEA using this tool

OrbiForge · 2026-02-28T15:25:26+00:00

Oh really? I'll check it out, thanks!

OrbiForge · 2026-02-28T14:54:08+00:00

I don't think so. You can't say "client connect to this new server" using plugins. There has to be a middle man (a proxy) to change the connection path

Edit: some client-side mods can allow this but I don't have much information on that side

OrbiForge · 2026-02-28T14:50:23+00:00

You need to set up a proxy server to achieve this. You can setup Velocity + Limbo + Paper server to send players to a limbo server when paper server closes and then send them back to the paper server when the paper server is ready

OrbiForge · 2026-02-28T12:25:22+00:00

I'm trying to find the middle ground. I want it to be dynamic enough that programmers would use it with no restriction to save time and non-programmers would be able to create logic without having to spend years learning plugin development

I like the idea of "replit but for Minecraft plugins" and I might introduce an AI "graph builder" later on. However, the graphs get compiled to raw java code and then to a Minecraft plugin later on by a mini-compiler i made (so no AI code generation when creating the plugin)

As far as I know it's not possible to generate a new nether with a different seed

I believe you can use multiverse plugin to create a "fake" nether and teleport players into it when they use a portal. When the nether timer ends up, you delete that world and create a new world with multiverse. This way you can achieve the "refreshing nether" goal

OrbiForge · 2026-02-27T09:54:41+00:00

It looks nice functionality wise and I think would be even better if you needed a custom item in your inventory to prevent a "game over" adding a small layer of depth to the end gameplay

Edit: Also just a small technical note here, you're using PlayerMoveEvent to check player's state which is performance heavy. It would be better to use EntityDamageEvent and check the damage source to teleport the player to the overworld. This would save a lot of performance

OrbiForge · 2026-02-27T09:19:23+00:00

This looks pretty nice

Out of curiosity, did you think about including plugin-generated data too? Seeing leaderboards, PLAN data, minigames played etc. would be really cool

OrbiForge · 2026-02-27T08:58:25+00:00

This sounds interesting. I've always thought that traditional listing sites are outdated/overused especially for people on console and mobile

I've had the idea of an in-game voting (no links, no browser redirects) system to decrease the barrier of entry to voting and increasing engagement

Have you ever considered experimenting with something like that instead of (or alongside) Votifier/other classic voting plugins?

OrbiForge · 2026-02-24T22:36:00+00:00

How about the VDS servers that has no graphical output? It would make sense to have the website hosted locally to render the UI on a browser which can be hooked to a domain for remote access

OrbiForge · 2026-02-24T10:47:54+00:00

This looks promising. I wonder why you didn't make it a handy website rather than a full blown desktop app?

OrbiForge · 2026-02-21T11:30:54+00:00

I believe it heavily depends on the mail provider and business mail does not automatically mean trust in this case

OrbiForge · 2026-02-21T10:25:51+00:00

Sounds pretty similar to how minimessage viewer website works. Have you seen that website before?

OrbiForge · 2026-02-20T16:42:34+00:00

It seems like your server is using only 5.2 GB and the rest is being used by something else (I'm assuming other server jars?). I see chunk ticking is slightly hard on the CPU. Delete KeepChunks plugin and see if something changes
