About Ancient Gates
From SpigotMCRegular and Bungee portal plugin. Can transport players or any entity!
AncientGates
This is an updated version of AncientGates from Bukkit. It works with the newer Spigot/Paper versions!
You can create vertical, horizontal, and even diagonal gates/portals!
All the gates can teleport entities such as items or animals. It's an amazing plugin that I've been using for several years and that's why I've been keeping it updated after the original developers went inactive.

Documentation
Introduction
This plugin can allow those with permission, to create gates. These gates will teleport any player, entity (incl. passenger) or vehicle (incl. passenger) that enters that gate to the designated location and/or execute a command. This is a very easy to use, easy to maintain transportation plugin! As a bonus, the gates can look any way you like (vertical or horizontal), with a selection of portal materials. There are also bungee gates to teleport between servers.
To get started, try the in game command: /gate
