BetterTP
by wzz
BetterTP changes the vanilla teleport command so that a player sent to a spot inside solid blocks is moved to nearby safe ground instead.
What it does
When a teleport lands a player inside a solid block, the mod searches for the nearest position where the player can stand and moves them there. This addresses the common case of being trapped in terrain after a teleport. The search runs as part of the command itself, so no extra step is needed from the player or the server owner.
BetterTP keeps the parameters of the original tp command, so existing command blocks, scripts and habits continue to work unchanged. It is backward compatible with worlds and command usage that predate the mod. The mod is Forge only, built for Minecraft 1.20.1, and it is open source under the Apache License 2.0. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so installing it on a server or on a client alone is enough.
Key features
Anti-block trapping
Teleports that would place a player inside a solid block are detected and corrected before the player is left in that position.
Nearest safe ground search
The mod looks for the closest position with open space and solid footing, starting from the requested coordinates.
Original tp parameters
The command accepts the same arguments as the vanilla tp command, so commands written for vanilla keep working.
Enhanced safety checks
Positions are checked for solid blocks before the player is moved, which reduces the chance of suffocation after a teleport.

Who it’s for: Server owners and players who use the vanilla tp command on Forge 1.20.1 and want teleports to land on safe ground.
