Changing the destination of End portals

The End is a neat idea, but it's sort of useless in multiplayer, IMO.

However, players go through a lot of effort to craft end portal frames and locate strong holds... it would be great to reward them for the efforts.

What I would like to do is change it so that an End portal will bring you to a Skylands world instead of an End world.

Is there any way to do this? I have SkylandsPlus and am familiar with Multiverse, but I can't seem to find a plugin that will give me control over an End portal's destination.

I've tried setting world_the_end to use the SkylandsPlus generator in Bukkit.yml: this caused a Skylands-like version of The End to be generated. I also tried replacing my End world with a pre-generated Skylands world, but strangely, this seemed to have no effect whatsoever.

It seems like such a simple, obvious thing... surely there's some way to do this...

You could try changing your bukkit.yml

Code:

settings:
    allow-end: false

Then use a portal plugin to make the end portals go to your skylands. I have never done this but it's worth a shot.

I couldn't find any plugins that did this type of thing.

 

"Then use a portal plugin to make the end portals go to your skylands."

But that's exactly what I want and can't find, a way to make end portals go to skylands...

 

Sorry, you said you use multiverse so I thought you knew about multiverse-portals. Should do exactly what you want.

 

But multiverse's portals aren't end portals... they're crafted differently and don't have to be placed in strongholds.

 

Yeah, you would have to manually change the end portals.

Like I said I couldn't find anything that would automatically change them for you, but you could manually find them and do it yourself.

 

Ah, I understand now.

I'm just curious now, because it seems odd... can anyone explain why replacing World_the_end with a pre-generated Skylands world didn't do anything? As long as the player doesn't venture out far enough to spawn new chunks, it seems like that should've worked.

 

Are the new chunks being generated after you get to the "end" of the pre-generated chunks?

 

Nope. I'd thought of that, but it isn't what's happening.

I've taken this Skylands map (after entering it as The End in Bukkit), opened it in single player, and flown to the same location I spawn when I go through the End portal.

It's completely different. On the server, I'm surrounded by and "end" map, but on singleplayer I'm clearly in teh Skylands. And yet... it's the same map, I've checked everything. Somehow, something is being loaded differently by the server...
