Setting Up Random Teleport(RTP) via NPC

This guide explains how to create an NPC that players can use to perform random teleportation (RTP) using the Citizens2 and BetterRTP plugins.

Prerequisites​

Make sure the server meets the following:

  • The Citizens plugin has been installed and is active
  • The BetterRTP plugin has been installed

Plugin Installation​

  1. Download the plugins from:

  2. Place the .jar file into the plugins/ folder

  3. Restart the server to activate the plugin

Set the RTP Radius​

  • Check the BetterRTP plugin's config.yml on the server
Default:
  UseWorldBorder: false
  # # "Biomes: []" means all biomes are allowed! #
  # # Biomes are optional, more biomes at https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/block/Biome.html #
  Biomes: []
  MaxRadius: 1000
  MinRadius: 10

Adjust the RTP radius so new players get a fresh spot when they RTP, somewhere that hasn't been colonized by other players.

  • Save & Reload the plugin
/rtp reload

Creating the NPC​

  1. Stand at the location where the NPC will appear
  2. Create the NPC with the command:
/npc create rtp
  1. Set the skin or entity type (Optional):
/npc skin <player_name>
/npc type end_crystal
  1. Add the RTP command when the NPC is clicked:
/npc cmd add rtp player <p> (rtp destination) -r -l

Example:

/npc cmd add rtp player <p> world -r -l
/npc cmd add rtp player <p> world_resource -r -l
/npc cmd add rtp player <p> world_towny -r -l

This command will run the /rtp command for the player interacting with the NPC.

Hiding the NPC's Name or Editing It​

  • To hide the name of the npc you can use the command:
/npc rename &r

Or

/npc hidename
  • Rename the NPC, example:
/npc rename &f- = &d&lStart the Game&f = -

Notes​

  • Check the commands on the NPC with /npc cmd list
  • Make sure the player is transported to a random location according to the configuration
  • Check the console if an error occurs or the command doesn't run

Additional Tips​

  • Use /npc cmdinfo to see the commands that have been added
  • For a more attractive look, combine it with holograms (for example using the HolographicDisplays plugin)
  • Make sure RTP permission is given to players so the command can run
