Anchor Teams
by XDPXI
Anchor Teams is a team-based minigame mod that gives each team a single Anchor Block as the center of its base, with keys and respawn rules tied to that block.
What it does
Each team claims one Anchor Block as its central base. Players receive Anchor Keys from the team, and using a key links them to the anchor. Those who lose their life come back at the team's anchor. If that anchor is destroyed, the team loses respawning, so the anchor works as a lifeline and gives players a reason to guard their base.
A player cannot interact with blocks farther than 10 blocks from the anchor, which keeps play close to the base. The radius and the way broken anchors are tracked can be changed in the config file. Server owners distribute keys and manage anchors with simple commands. The mod requires Fabric API and XD's Library, and it is published for 1.21.11 only. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Fabric and Quilt files are released under a custom license and are not open source.
Key features
Team Anchors
A single Anchor Block serves as the central base for each team, and it can be claimed by that team.

Keys handed to team members link them to their team's anchor for use during play.
Respawn at the anchor
Players respawn at their team's anchor, and respawning is disabled once that anchor is destroyed.
Interaction radius
Blocks beyond 10 blocks from the anchor cannot be interacted with, and the radius is configurable.
Simple commands
Commands let server owners manage anchors and hand out keys without other tools.
