    Ok, I was thinking...
    You just joined a random server where you don't know where to go to! Have fun.
    Many times I've been on servers where I don't know where to go to get to the creative world but I was thinking, what if I did a command like /vp {name} that would show me a path that only I can see to that place. So say I was in the middle of a server hub and I did /vp creative it would visualize a path to the creative portal out of the block of my choice. After

    The commands could(and maybe configurable):
    /vpcreate (c for create) "name of path" "seconds it will appear for"
    After you've done this command then you will use a tool (maybe configurable) and left click to start the path and right click to add a point.
    /vpremove (r for remove) "name of path"
    This would remove the path.
    /vpconfig
    You would be able to configure the path.
    /vp "name of path"
    This would view the path.

    The nodes would be like
    visualisedpaths.admin.create
    visualisedpaths.admin.remove
    visualisedpaths.admin.configure
    visualisedpaths.user.vp

    Thanks if you do create this plugin it would be really helpful! If you need any more info on the idea then just PM me. :)

    This is a really interesting concept. Get in touch and I'll give this a go.

    I'm new to the Bukkit forums, is there a way I can PM people?

    Would also like to see something like this.
    Maybe a path of glowstone each few blocks, which "flash" (appear and disapear) one after the other until the player is near the target/last location, or went too far away from the path.
    Different ways of "triggering" that path and bahaviors for them to appear and disappear would also be nice, for example: on spawn, on the player's first spawn, on the players spawn when he didn't yet walked the path to the target (didn't yet "finish" the "task" of reaching the end of the path), via click on a sign or button, via commands, etc.

    Yeah this does sound pretty cool, maybe have red wool blocks floating above the path and spaced apart, and when the user gets within range, it turns green, and when the user passes it, the wool disappears.

    but if this were to work from anywhere, wouldnt there need to be set roads that the path plugin should follow when generating a path for the user to follow? (pretty much roads on a gps) Don't want it setting paths through thick forests.

    thinking about it, this could spawn another idea completely. have set roads and such, the user does something like /gps <location> and it'll give you GPS directions to that location. it would give the users directions in chat like this:
    [GPS] Turn right onto Bedrock Blvd.

    A bit of a silly yet cool idea :p

    Can I bump this for people to look at it?

    That is allowed, as long as there is 24 hours between bumps

    Responding to people is no problem, just don't post twice in a row between 24 hours

    Would love to see this made. I run a theme park server and no one ever knows where the rides are. Using /warp doesn't give the same realistic feeling a plugin like this will give.
