RallyPoint

Move your whole server, together, without moving anyone who did not ask to be moved.

RallyPoint is a Paper plugin for mass-teleporting players around your server during events. Players opt in once, and a host can then gather everyone at a location, at a player, or at a saved waypoint. Anyone who has not opted in is never touched.

It was built for the Crafting For Christ "End of the World" tour: a livestreamed walkthrough of a world before a reset, where a host flies from build to build and brings the crowd along.

How it works

1. Players run /rally optin once. Their choice is saved the moment it changes and survives restarts.
2. Before the event, the host saves the route as named waypoints with /rally waypoint set <name>.
3. During the event, /rally go <name> runs a countdown, preloads the destination chunk, and teleports the crowd in small batches, scattered around the destination so nobody lands in a pile.
4. Afterwards, /rally return sends everyone back to exactly where they were standing, including players who logged off mid-tour.

Key features

• Opt-in by default - nobody is teleported unless they asked to be. State is written to disk on every change, so a crash never loses it.
• Safe crowd teleports - destination chunks preload asynchronously, teleports spread across ticks, and players are taken off boats, minecarts, and horses first.
• Destination safety checks - rallies into the void, lava, solid blocks, or the Nether roof are refused unless you add force.
• Countdown - a configurable countdown with title, chat, and sound, so nobody is yanked mid-sentence.
• Named waypoints - pre-register the route and rally to stops by name.
• Guided tours - build a tour of every MineMail mailbox and step the crowd through the stops in order with /rally tour next. The tour and your position in it survive a restart.
• Return - /rally return puts everyone back where they were, and catches up anyone who was offline at the time when they next log in.
• Cancel - /rally cancel calls off a rally mid-countdown, before anyone moves.
• Stage mode - hold the crowd in spectator mode, or frozen in place, so nobody wanders in front of the camera.
• Roster and history - see who is opted in and online, and what rallies have already fired.
