Any way to get World Border or Essentials into FTB server?

[Zerosk83]

I'm pretty new to hosting servers, and frankly it's just for me and 5 or so friends to goof around on but I have DynMap up and running on my server but it only loads chunks that have been generated... Seeing as I don't want to fly around the entire map generating chunks(Defeats the purpose of a map imo), I'd like to get World Border installed and get it to force load the chunks and create a border.

I noticed there is no "plugins" folder in FTB, so I'm not sure how I would get World Border to work. I tried placing it in the "mods" folder but it just acts as if it's not there. If anyone can help me, or at least explain why it doesn't work that'd be great. Thank you!

EDIT: I also want Essentials if possible, just for the usability. It's annoying having to teleport to specific coordinates. I'd much prefer having /home /spawn and warps.
If someone has a better/easier/functioning way to force load chunks I'd be happy to use that as well.

So you want the whole of your playable world area to be 'discovered'? Taking away any real exploration from your world?

This is the first time I use ExtraBiomes XL so I want to spawn about a 1000 chunk radius around the original spawn point, then render it with DynMap. That way I can scroll around and look for cool biomes to go look at. I'm still trying to understand all the mods in FTB before I actually dig in and play properly. I want to test changes, find cool stuff etc. I've obviously been exploring on my own and playing normally, but I want a big DynMap to use. DynMap only renders "explored" chunks, so most of my screen is just blackness.

And the only reasonable plugins I've found that do that are WorldBorder or MinecraftLandGenerator, which only can generate vanilla maps. So there's a generation tool for Bukkit/Tekkit, and Vanilla but I've yet to come across one that's compatible with FTB. Which is why I'm asking for help on here.

I believe MCEdit could be used for generating chunks. I saw someone had issues with that creating errors in the world gen though so make a backup before attempting.

that's basically essentials, mixed with some basic worldedit and backup functionality.

@Bnagers I'll look into that. So far, everything I've found has either not worked for with forge, or been vanilla only. I want it to be able to gen chunks that still contain the FTB ores as well as the biomes made by ExtraBiomes XL. Thanks for the tip though.

@christophocles I already have that installed, someone on another thread showed it to me. It'll do the trick for now. Thanks!

Bump. Still wondering if anyone has an idea how I could force generate chunks for DynMap to render.

There is no way yet. Since no one ported world border and there is no bukkit support at the moment. No there is no way for this yet. Please dont bump your posts btw.

I waited over 6 hours before bumping, plus I changed my question because I found a replacement for essentials. So I added new info. Also, the thread had dropped kinda far down the list. How else do we get it back to the top? Cause bumping once every 6 hours if a lot better then creating a new thread isn't it?

Arguing with mods... always a good idea.

well if there was a solution it would already be posted since i read every single thread is this section. and its basically the same question than before, but oke. Tray acting a bit nice to others that still answer your questions. Will get you further down the road.

Hej they will learn some day

How is asking him a question about bumping arguing? And even if I wanted to argue with a mod, that's not against the rules. Just because I have a different opinion then him means I'm wrong lol?? Being a Mod doesn't mean I have to turn into a brain washed sheep when he talks.

In fact.... this

sounds pretty condescending. I simply asked a question about bumping and then you talk to me as if your smarter/superior/better then me. Not a great way to moderate imho.

Thank you and good luck with getting some ports for FTB.
