Better With Border
Better With Border is a server-side world border mod for BTA Babric that keeps players inside a set area, with circular or rectangular shapes and per-world settings.
What it does
Better With Border sets a world border that pushes players back when they cross it. Borders can be round or rectangular, each world can have its own configuration, and different dimensions such as the Overworld, Nether or Aether can each receive a separate border. When a player crosses the edge, the knockback distance can be adjusted, and the mod looks for a safe Y position to teleport the player back to.
Better With Border draws on the WorldBorder Bukkit plugin by Brettflan as its inspiration, yet its code was written from scratch for BTA Babric, with nothing taken from the original plugin according to the author. Server owners can allow specific players to bypass the border, pre-generate chunks inside it with the wb fill command, and use the wb dynmap command to show or hide the borders on a Dynmap web map through the better-with-dynmap add-on, which requires that add-on to display borders. Commands require operator permissions unless noted otherwise.
The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for b1.7.3 only, with snapshot builds available. Players join without it, since only the server has to run the mod.
