About this Mod

🌍 ShadowBorders

ShadowBorders is a powerful per-dimension world border system for Minecraft Fabric servers. It allows server administrators to configure independent borders in each dimension, block player actions outside the defined area, and enforce custom behavior across portals, collisions, entity interactions, and more.

Features:

  • Per-Dimension Borders – Each dimension (Overworld, Nether, End, custom) can have its own unique border size and center.
  • Full Vanilla Compatibility – Integrates seamlessly with Minecraft's native world border mechanics.
  • Persistent Borders – Borders are saved per dimension and persist across server restarts.
  • Teleportation Adjustments – Portals and spawn points are automatically clamped within border limits.
  • Safe Zone, Damage, and Warnings – Fully configurable damage behavior and warning zones per dimension.
  • Permission-Based Commands – Full support for permission systems like LuckPerms.
  • Reloadable Config – Update borders without restarting the server.

Commands:

  • /sbw set <size>
    » Sets the border size in the current world.
  • /sbw center <x> <z>
    » Sets the center of the world border.
  • /sbw get
    » Displays information about the current world border.
  • /sbw reload
    » Reload the config and resync for all worlds.
  • /sbw setDamageAmount <value>
    » Damage per block when the player is out of bounds.
  • /sbw setDamageBuffer <value>
    » Buffer distance without damage.
  • /sbw setWarningBlocks <blocks>
    » Warning blocks before the border.
  • /sbw setWarningTime <seconds>
    » Warning time before reaching the border.
