Enlightened Lodestone
by Magic
Enlightened Lodestone lets players bind compasses and lodestones so that a linked compass can teleport its holder to a bound lodestone.
What it does
Players bind a compass to a lodestone by right-clicking the lodestone with the compass, and lit candles can light a ring around a stone to activate it. Once linked, a compass in hand works as a teleport key: left-clicking sends the holder to the bound stone, including to another dimension. Shift-right-clicking with the compass returns the player to a saved bookmark.
The mod also includes a death recall, so an empty-hand right-click on a bound stone brings a player back to it after death. Unlinking a stone is done with a grindstone, and an active stone glows so its state can be read at a glance, while candle progress shows how far the ring is from completion. Five Lodestone Ways guides in the advancements tab explain each step.
Enlightened Lodestone is built for NeoForge 1.21.1 and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Its files are published as alpha builds, with 0.0.1 for 1.21.1 as the latest, and the code is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Compass binding
A compass can be bound to a lodestone, and a linked compass then acts as a teleport key for that stone.
Candle activation
Eight lit candles arranged in a 3 by 3 ring around a lodestone activate it without other items.
Bookmark return
Shift-right-clicking with a linked compass sends the player back to a saved bookmark point.
Death recall
An empty-hand right-click on a bound lodestone sets up a recall to that stone after the player dies.
