Nether View


Nether View makes it possible to see the nether through nether portals. Before actually travelling to the under world you will already be able to have a brief look at what is expecting you on the other side of the portal:


Portals in any (vanilla) size can show their destinations, as long as their linked portal has the same size and both frames are completely built out of obsidian – also the four corners:




New in V3.0
New multiverse-like portals that have the viewing effect!


Playing with Optifine can make the portal animations much smoother, so I can only recommend using it!

Disclaimer

Portal animations only work in 1st person view. The 3rd person mode (when pressing F5) is client side and cannot be detected with plugins.


Setup

Drop the jar in your plugins folder and reload your server. If you want NetherView to work only in certain worlds - or your worlds have custom names - open the config file and edit the world list (see below) and then run /netherview reload.

Now every time you create a new portal step into it once so the plugin can load the information about the destination of the portal. When stepping out of the portal again the view will be loaded.

Spoiler: Ran into an issue?
