Personal Borders
by NikitaCartes
Personal Borders gives each player their own world border, set separately for every dimension, so one player's limit does not affect another.
What it does
The mod adds player-specific borders. Each dimension has its own default world border, and separate borders can be set for the overworld, the nether and the end. A border is defined by its center coordinates, its diameter and permission-node context values, with parameters similar to the vanilla world border command, so a player's limit can differ from the global one.
Projectiles, pets and other entities owned by a player are kept from crossing that player's border. When a player nears the edge the screen begins to tint red, and beyond the border the player takes damage per second for every block outside it, starting at a set distance. Permissions are read in real time, so changes to them take effect without a restart.
The mod runs on servers only. Players join without installing anything, while the server needs Fabric API and LuckPerms installed. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code and issue tracker public. Files exist for Fabric and NeoForge, across 17 release versions 1.21 – 26.3, with 1.1.0 as the latest file for 26.3.
Key features
Per-player borders
Each player can have a border of their own, so a limit applies to one player without changing the rest of the world.
Separate dimension borders
The overworld, the nether and the end each keep their own border, with a default world border for each dimension.
Entity containment
Projectiles, pets and other entities belonging to a player are stopped from crossing that player's border.
Warning tint and damage
The screen tints red near the edge, and damage per second per block applies outside it, starting from a configured distance.
