Walls of Wheat
by Pilot
Walls of Wheat lets server owners set a configurable world border that players can widen by paying Wheat, a currency the mod is built around.
What it does
The mod sets a world border for multiplayer servers: its diameter in blocks, its center position, the default movement speed in blocks per second, and separate opening and closing speeds in each direction. Admins can also set how much damage a player takes per second outside the border, and show or hide the border for everyone. Players can expand the border by spending Wheat, so exploring the world costs farming effort rather than only time.
The mod is described by its author as two parts: a Wheat currency system with storage, a GUI and trading, and a client-dependent world border. Three commands control the border, with a wheatborder and a worldwheatborder variant that differ only in which dimension they act on. The dimension field is required across the commands, and borders can be set separately for the Overworld, Nether and End, the only dimensions supported. Wheat can be stored in a slot with a capped number of items, so the inventory stays tidy.
Key features

Admins set the border diameter, center position, movement speed and per-direction open and close speeds.
Border damage
Players outside the border take a set amount of damage per second, and the penalty is configurable.
Wheat-based expansion
Players spend Wheat to widen the border, turning exploration into a farming goal on servers.
Wheat storage and trade

Dimension-specific borders
Each of the Overworld, Nether and End can have its own border, supporting custom per-dimension setups.

What the author says
I bring this distinction up because the mod can be modified to purely be a client-dependent world border mod or offer helpful tools for Wheat currency servers. Though, the original intent is for the use case where both are needed. The idea is each player has their own world border that they can expand to explore the…
