Biome Runestone
by ModdedMITE
Biome Runestone lets players step through a rune gate and arrive at a safe spot in a chosen biome of the overworld, with a separate random variant for unpredictable travel.
What it does
A rune gate is built from a frame, and the four corners of that frame are filled with the same type of Biome Runestone. Entering the gate teleports the player to a safe landing spot in the biome that the runestone type corresponds to. Different runestone types are used for different biomes, so one world can hold several gates pointing to several biomes. Mixing different runestone types at the corners stops the frame from being recognized as a biome gate.
The standard Biome Runestone gives a consistent destination that can be reused for trips. The Random Biome Runestone instead sends the player to a new spot within the same biome each time, refreshed on a timer. A fixed refresh window is supported, with a default of 5 seconds and a default minimum distance of 1000 blocks between targets. Gates only operate in the overworld. The mod is for Legacy Fabric and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code and an issue tracker linked from its public pages.
