Null Wave

NullWave turns every Nether portal activation into a ticking time bomb. Primed TNT erupts from the portal and nothing can pass through until the wave ends. Zones, global mode, history log, and a single-use portal rod included.

NullWave

Turn every Nether portal into a ticking time bomb.

NullWave is a hardcore plugin that fundamentally changes how Nether portals work. When a player activates a portal with flint and steel, the portal doesn't let them through — instead, it erupts in a cascade of primed TNT and becomes completely impassable until the wave subsides. Nothing gets through. Not players, not ender pearls, not arrows, not mobs.

Inspired by a real-life machine, NullWave brings chaos, danger, and a brand-new risk to every Nether expedition.

⚙️ How It Works

When a player activates a Nether portal (in the Overworld only):

  • 30 primed TNT (configurable) spawn directly inside the portal blocks.
  • The TNT detonates in sequence, tearing the portal apart.
  • During the NullWave, the portal rejects everything — teleportation is blocked for all entities.
  • The portal remains blocked until the wave ends.

No chat spam, no warnings. Just destruction.

🧨 Features

  • Portal Lockdown — While a NullWave is active, nobody and nothing can pass through the portal.
  • Configurable TNT — Set how many TNT spawn per wave (default: 30).
  • Zone System — Restrict NullWave to specific areas with /nw radius <radius>. Perfect for arenas, minigames, or restricted zones.
  • Global Mode — Enable NullWave everywhere with /nw global on.
  • NullWave Rod — A single-use fishing rod that spawns a fully-formed Nether portal wherever you look. Great for traps and chaos. Supports spawning multiple portals at once, scattered around you at random angles, offsets, and orientations.
  • History Log — Every NullWave is logged with timestamp, player, coordinates, and TNT count. View the last 10 with clickable teleport links.
  • Zone Management — Add, remove, list, and teleport to NullWave zones with a clean, clickable UI in chat.

⚙️ Configuration

# Default TNT amount spawned during NullWave
tnt_amount: 30

# Portal rod settings
portal_rod:
  portals: 1          # Portals spawned per rod use
  min_radius: 4       # Min horizontal offset from target
  max_radius: 10      # Max horizontal offset from target
  min_y_offset: 1     # Min vertical offset
  max_y_offset: 7     # Max vertical offset

# Zones where NullWave is active
# Format: "world_name:x,y,z:radius"
zones: []

# Global mode — if true, NullWave works everywhere (ignores zones)
global: false
