[IMPLEMENTED] Idea: Reintroduce the /border command

I would like to propose the reintroduction of the /border command which was introduced in Minerealm 3.6.8 and then subsequently removed in 3.6.9 for reasons I do not know.

For those who do not know what this did... When toggled it would show you (visibly) the borders of the realm you were standing in using poof's of smoke. This is particularly useful when you own multiple realms spanning a large area and want to make sure you own all the ones in between. In that it lets you knowingly walk into each realm and see if "You are now in public land" rather than aimlessly wondering around and maybe missing the edge of a realm. It is alternatively useful when you want to build something on public land that you are hoping to buy in the future to help you keep from building beyond that one realms border.

I assume Intelli still has the code for this since it was implemented in the past, not sure if it would need any re-tooling to be implemented into the current build or not.

Provided it doesn't cause lag, I would love to see this back.

Yes.
I no longer have to jump back an forth between two realms to find their border or count 50 blocks to see where a public realm ends.

I'm not sure why it was taken out in 3.6.9, but if it was in fact because it caused too much lag. I would propose that rather than keeping it indefinably enabled until toggled off as I think it was before, to instead have it on a timer such that it would only do the poofy smoke thing for 30 seconds after a user types /border

For the love of Minerealm, please implement this.

It would make things so much easier.

I was actually going to suggest something like this for Shaddowcraft. I never knew there was something like this before, running on the server side. Would love to see this.

Was removed due to causing server errors/crashes. However, I know how to fix it now, so, based on votes, accepted.
