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

World centers (like the End spawn platform) are automatically detected and saved the first time a player enters that world. You can also set them manually in world_centers.
