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 |

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.

/delwarp Spawn

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 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 <feature> cooldown <value>` for example.Accessed using /warputils config general <setting> <value>.
