Arcane Teleport
by PumpkinMage
Arcane Teleport replaces the vanilla teleport-to-a-player command with a channeled ritual that both players must complete before the move happens.
What it does
A player calls a teleport request to a friend, and the cast begins once the friend accepts. The traveler lifts into the air, surrounded by glyph particles, while both players spend XP. The cast ends with a lightning strike that seals the teleport. Each player pays the same XP cost, so the price is shared.
Breaking the ritual is simple: a player who moves, takes damage or is hit mid-cast shatters it, and nothing is spent on arrival. Built-in safety checks confirm that the destination is clear, so a traveler will not arrive inside a wall, buried or over a void. Otherwise the traveler arrives safely on the other side.
The mod is a one-jar install with an optional client-side portal swirl. Clients without the mod see a simpler screen-warp instead, and everything else works the same. The swirl respects the Video Settings Distortion Effects slider.
Key features
Channeled teleport ritual
A teleport to a friend is a visible cast in which the traveler rises and the crossing feels earned, not instant.
Shared XP cost
Both players spend experience to make the crossing, so neither side gets a free trip.
Interruptible casting
Moving, taking damage or being hit mid-cast shatters the ritual and keeps the travelers in place.
Built-in landing checks
The destination is checked for walls, burial and void before the traveler arrives, so the crossing ends in a safe spot.
Client-side swirl
An optional portal swirl and glyph particles appear on clients that install the mod, while other clients get a screen-warp fallback.

What the author says
Vanilla /tp-to-a-player is instant and a little lifeless. Arcane Teleport replaces it with a ritual — a channeled, dramatic, and flashy bit of magic that makes crossing the world feel earned. Call /tpa to a friend and a cast begins when they accept: the traveler lifts into the air wreathed in glyph particles, both…
