Suggestion: Towny protection for portals
Please explain your feature request to the best of your abilities: I would like to have the option to disallow outsiders/allyas/residents the use of portals in the town/plot.
With a smal portal I could have a door yes, but if I build a very large portal that I want to show the world (on both sides, in both worlds). This could possible have reasons to disallow outsiders access to the town. For example is the town is closed, public mode disable, and outsides go into my town via nether.
Might be hard to determine if the target portal is in a plot or not, it isn't provided in the event right?
This is a good idea although it will likely be a bit tricky to tie it to an existing function like breaking/build/switch/item_use. Linking it to public status is an idea but I don't know if that's ideal as it is not something which can be set per-plot.
Let's try to get it tied with public status for any portal in the whole town. That should cover most uses, as you would want to disallow people to backdoor your private town.
And maybe look if it possible to do it per plot later.
IMO it should be item_use as it already has all other types of teleporting in it.
Item_use might make the most sense, you'd need item_use to light the portal, but that would still require the plot-owner to allow all kinds of item_use just to let someone use a portal (ie, bonemeal-ing grass, dyeing signs/wools,) which is why I said it doesn't really work ideally.
I coded for item use, mainly bc item switch covered too many things that are normally used
As it can be limited to a single plot I think it's better than the alternatives.
Also if we think about plots, the town should not have that many portals as they will be connected to each other. It would be sufficient with the mayor controlling use of all portals.
Now another question should the paired nether portal be protected as well? As in no one can use it from the other side.

If it is possible Yes! I was thinking along the lines that the town would need a nether outpost.
The other side would require a Town (likely an outpost) to be there to protect it.
If it's not claimed (wilderness) it should be fair game as anyone could destroy it.
As mayor you would have to know that this will block outsiders from using portals FROM the the town. And with that logic also make a outpost in the nether.
I think it should be blocked from the other side as well, we don't allow claiming in the nether so this would just make players get stuck in other towns.
We're going to discuss it internally and see what fits the best and get something done for it after 0.96.0.0 is out and we begin doing suggestions again.
This is a good point Karl has just made, although it is probably not very usual to deny claiming in the nether. It should be an optional thing.
The same would happen if the town just decided not to claim the other end though.
Imo the best thing would be to check both the source plot and the destination.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking.
oh for a simpler time when portals were a fixed size and a double door was all you needed.
