    BorderGuard 4.40

    BorderGuard is the MOST efficient Border plugin available!
    100,000+ downloads! Thank you for your support!

    This plugin prevents people from exploring beyond a defined border. This plugin checks for all movement, including vehicle movement, and will keep you within the border even if you remain within a vehicle.

    Downloads:
    http://minerealm.com/plugins/borderguard/BorderGuard.jar (v4.40)
    (If you appreciate this plugin, please feel free to leave a comment below. =])

    To set an invisible border:
    /setborder <distance> <square|round> - Set the border, and the distance of the border from your current point. Optionally, also specify if the border is to be square or round.

    To disable the border:
    /disableborder - Remove the border.

    ---

    Only the person who first uses the /setborder command can use it again, or remove the border.

    The plugin has multi-world support. When setting a border, you're only setting the border for the world you're presently situated in. You'll need to set a border for each separate world.

    Version History:
    V4.40 - Fixed vehicle teleportation & added Material data support.
    V4.31 - Added a quick fix so that it'll work with the CraftBukkit development build.
    V4.30 - Updated to work with the new Bukkit API (#1846) R5+
    Older Versions (open)

    V4.20 - Fixed it so the save-file no longer becomes corrupted with multiple worlds. Code cleanup.
    V4.11 - Changed getDisplayName() checks to getName().
    V4.10 - Major performance enhancements. Using version 4 is highly discouraged.
    V4.00 - Modified to work with the latest craftbukkit version (953). Older versions no longer work.
    V3.10 - Removed the multi-threading, was causing accuracy issues.
    V3.00 - BorderGuard Turbo! Now works with bukkit 670, and has completely overhauled the base BorderGuard "engine", resulting in a huge performance boost.
    V2.40 - Updated to work with the latest version of bukkit. (602)
    V2.30 - Resolved multi-world issues. Now properly handles multiple worlds.
    V2.20 - Updated to work with the latest version of bukkit. Existing configuration files will no longer work. (Borders must be re-defined).
    V2.10 - Updated to work with the latest version of bukkit. Fixed movement issues with the "round" version.
    V2.00 - Multi-world support, better teleporting, no duplicate warning messages, configuration file now within folder.
    V1.00 - Released plugin.

    Notes:
    1. Using, for example, "/setborder 5", will set the border 5 blocks away from the location you are standing. This would create a border that is 10x10 in size.
    2. For the full plugin, with physical borders and more, take a look here: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/mech-borderguard-v2-00-limit-your-map.656/

    Let me know if you have any questions, or find any problems.
    Enjoy!

    Nice try, but why would he have it call him Notch and send him to his own site?

    now knock it off..

    || means OR so it sends him AND Notch the message, his name was there for testing purposes probably. I have no reason to make this up and when someone comes forward with a recent jar you will see.

    Looks like he removed it and it's not in any of the older copies people have so he must have just recently added it. Anyone who has downloaded this in the last couple days please send EvilSeph the jar.

    And what? Get this much needed plugin shut down? So what if he did send Notch a message? Personally I couldn't care less as long as my maps are protected from the idiotic public.

    Can you add a toggle for if there is a wall as the border or invisible wall?

    I am currently on bukkit 617
    It just doesn't seem to load, it has not even made a folder...

    The latest recommended build is presently 617, with which the plugin works fine.

    If the player logged off and I set the world border inside the player's position. What would happen to the player's position if he logs back in? Would he be teleported back inside the border?

    Intelli

    Yes, if the player was outside the border, he would be teleported back inside.

    Is it possible to change how far people are getting knocked back when trying to exit the border? Some of my players has been killed cause they've been put into a stone and suffocated. If not, it would be awesome to be able to change how far away from the border a player will be pushed back. In my case I would like to set it to 1-2 blocks instead of the original.

    I've also encountered some players being teleportet to a random location, don't know why, and I can't really give any more information on that cause there's no error in the console.

    Actually it teleported my friend to the place where I set the border. At the z,y 0,0, where the mob tower is located. >_>

    What version of the plugin are you using? (The square version or the round version?)

    Verified more efficient than WorldBorder v1.0!
    If you're looking for a border plugin that has the least server performance impact, look no further!

    I'm not sure how you are measuring efficiency, but the code in WorldBorder seems very clean and smart to me.

    Also WorldBorder doesn't have unsolicited advertising in it either. (Selective or otherwise...) :)

    To clarify, that code is not within the BorderGuard code. =]

    EdGruberman

    So decompiling your jar is not showing us the actual code?

    Let's pretend for a moment you are right. You are still closed source. I would prefer WorldBorder for being open source alone. Not to mention you still have yet to justify your efficiency claim.

    OH LULZ HE REMOVED THE METHOD!

    I wouldn't use ANY of your plugins ever again after this stunt. This is the total reason closed source plugins are hogwash.

    @Intelli : You are an outrageous egotistical liar of a developer.

    Sure, get caught red-handed, cover it up, then deny it. Then try to make yourself look good by turning it open source.

    I suppose it's a step in the right direction, we all must learn. But it's way too late to cover up the type of untrustworthy person you are. I wouldn't recommend people download your code or even connect to your server. It's simply not safe if you are involved.

    Yeah there is not even a need for permissions really just the effects are given to everyone and it is meant to add some special flags like no build and pvp and tnt and all that stuff..

    Though if you want to do permissions you could do - borderguard.laws.bordername or borderguard.laws.* for everything.. But I don't see much of a point unless you want to provide multiple borders that prevent say newer player from adventuring out to far.

    Oh double post. If you mean like permissions like before aka first person to do /setborder then I say do just that or better yet use OP file. That would make it easy :)

    EvilSeph said RB will probably be changed today to 659. I wanted to share with you what error I get using your latest Jar.
