DamageBorder

A Minecraft plugin where the world border expands every time a player takes damage.
Inspired by Bastighg

The border is synced across all dimensions – same size, configurable per-world center, active in Overworld, Nether, and End.

---

Features

• Damage-based expansion – Every time a player takes damage, the world border grows by a configurable amount
• Multi-dimension sync – Border size is the same in every dimension; per-world centers are auto-set when a player first enters that world
• Full protection – Players cannot walk or break blocks outside the border; if they try to move further out, they get teleported back to the center
• Statistics – Track damage per player and total border expansions
• Reloadable config – All settings can be changed ingame and reloaded without a server restart
