Introduction

WarpUtils is a lightweight, fully configurable server-side utility mod that provides essential teleportation features: Homes, Warps, and TPA requests.
Inspired by the VanillaTweaks Datapacks.

Because it is server-side only, you can install this on your server and pure vanilla clients can join without any drawbacks or additional downloads.

Core Functionality

• Homes: Players can set personal waypoints and teleport back to them.
• Warps: Operators can set global waypoints (like shops or hubs) accessible to everyone.
• TPAs: Players can send requests to teleport to one another securely.
• Back: A convenient command to return to your previous location after a teleport.

Features

Every teleportation feature comes with

• Cooldowns: Configure how long a player must wait after teleporting before they can use the command again.
• Warm-up Delays: Configure a "stand-still" timer before a teleport executes. This delay will be cancelled if the player moves, runs another command, or is attacked (if the fight cooldown is active).
• Configurable: Every feature can be individually disabled and configured (see configuration details below).

Homes

Allows players to set personal homes and teleport back to them at will. Server owners can configure the maximum number of homes a player is allowed to keep.

Command	Description
/home <homeName>	Teleports you to the specific home
/home	Teleports you to your default home (auto-selects one if no default is set)
/setdefaulthome <homeName>	Sets an existing home as your default
/sethome <homeName>	Creates or overwrites a home at your current location
/delhome <homeName>	Deletes the specified home
/renamehome <currentName> <newName>	Renames an existing home (can also override if the newName already exists)
/homes	Lists all your saved homes and their coordinates

TPAs (Teleport Requests)

Allows players to request teleportation to other players. The requesting player is teleported to the receiving player once they accept the request.

Note: A player can only have one outgoing request active at a time, but can receive multiple incoming requests. Cooldowns apply after the teleport happens; delays apply after the request is accepted.

Command	Description
/tpa <target>	Sends a teleport request to the specified player
/tpaaccept <player>	Accepts a request from a specific player
/tpaaccept	Accepts the most recent teleport request.
/tpadeny <player>	Denies a request from a specific player
/tpadeny	Denies all active incoming requests
/tpacancel	Cancels the outgoing request you sent
/tpas	Displays all active sent and received requests

Warps

Allows operators to manage global points of interest that all players can teleport to.

The Spawn Warp:
By default, a Spawn warp is enabled and linked to the world spawn point (can be set using /setworldspawn ...)

• It can be detached from the world spawn by overwriting it: /setwarp Spawn
• It can be reattached to the world spawn by deleting the custom warp: /delwarp Spawn

Command	Description
/warp <warpName>	Teleports you to the specified global warp
/warps	Lists all available warps and their locations
/setwarp <warpName>	(OP) Creates or overwrites a warp at your location
/delwarp <warpName>	(OP) Deletes the specified warp
/renamewarp <currentName> <newName>	(OP) Renames an existing warp

Commands marked with (OP) can only be executed by the

Back Command

Allows players to return to the location they were at before their last teleport or to their death location. The behavior is highly customizable via the config (including mode and duration settings).

Command	Description
/back	Teleports you back to your last location before a teleport

Tpr Command

Allows players to teleport to a random location. The maximum and minimum range of the teleport is configurable.

Command	Description
/tpr	Teleports you to a random location

Player Preferences & Effects

Personalize your experience using: /warputils personal <preference> ...

Customizable Options:

• Delay Display: When teleporting how should the delay progress be displayed: none, percentage or seconds.
• Language: Set your display language (currently only supports English).
• Message Target: Choose where mod messages appear: chat or actionbar (Some messages may be forced to be displayed in one or the other, e.g. homes list).
• Particles: Adjust the visual effects of the teleportation.

Visual Effects

Particles are displayed at three stages:

1. Charge Effect: During the warm-up delay.
2. Departure: At the location you leave.
3. Arrival: At your destination.

Note: Operators can force effects to be enabled globally, overriding player preferences.

Configuration

Note: The config file is not for direct configuration. It only sets the default values used when creating a world or resetting the world specific config using /warputils config reset, /warputils config <category> reset or /warputils config <category> <setting> default.

The command /warputils config <category> allows you to easily configure the functionality of each feature as an operator. Non-operators may read the values of the config but not edit them.

General This config category allows you to set more general configurations, like the default `messageTarget` or the `cooldown` and `delay` used for teleporation. Each teleportation features inherits the `cooldown` and `delay` values by default (the respective setting's value is set to -1) but they can be set individually using `/warputils config cooldown ` for example.
