Balanced Recall
by alurienflame
Balanced Recall lets players return to a spawn point or a set place through a magic mirror that recharges at a smithing table.
What it does
Using a magic mirror teleports the player to their spawnpoint anywhere in the same dimension. Each mirror holds 256 charges, which a smithing table can restore with an ender pearl. When charges run out the mirror stops working rather than breaking, until it is recharged. A dimensional mirror follows the same pattern as the magic mirror, with a larger charge pool, and it is the only mirror that carries a player between dimensions.
A sleeping mat lets a player skip the night without setting a spawn point. The mat wears out after 128 uses and cannot be repaired. Players are warned that sleeping on a rough straw-padded bamboo mat is enough to ward off phantoms.
Balanced Recall requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric or Quilt. It is open source under the MIT License and is published for 1.17 – 26.2 with snapshot builds included. Mod Menu is optional and only adds a settings screen. The server and every player need the mod installed.
Key features
Magic mirror recall
A magic mirror returns the player to their spawnpoint within the current dimension, with a configurable use time and cooldown.
Dimensional mirror
The dimensional mirror has twice the charges of the magic mirror and carries the player between dimensions.
Recharging mirrors
A smithing table recharges a mirror using an ender pearl, so charges can be restored without a new craft.
Sleeping mat
The sleeping mat skips the night without setting a spawn point and lasts 128 uses before it is used up.
Config options
Settings control whether taking damage interrupts recall or starts the cooldown, whether recall pulls in nearby monsters, and the timing of both mirrors.
