Explorer's Camp
by Sauliuxa
Explorer's Camp lets players pack a camp into a portable kit, carry it anywhere in the world and unpack it on new ground for a fresh base.
What it does
Players create their own camps, choose from several presets built from gathered materials, and set the planks type used in construction. A dropper placed in the middle of a camp marks its centre, and particles show the camp boundaries. Camps can be picked up and unpacked again wherever the player goes, so travel does not cut them off from a base. Each unpacked camp sets a respawn point for the player who made it, and the player's buddies respawn at the location where the camp was last unpacked.
Camp contents can include entities such as armor stands, paintings and mobs, along with falling blocks like anvils, sand and gravel placed on the camp ground. A world can hold up to 38 camps. The mod is recommended for flat, open areas. Files are published for Fabric only, across the 1.21 – 1.21.8 range. It runs on client and server, so servers and every player need it. The license is All rights reserved, and the code is not open source.
Key features

Ready-made camp presets are built from materials the player has gathered, and they can be adjusted after placement.
Packable camps
A camp is packed into a kit, carried between locations and unpacked where the player chooses.
Respawn at camps
Unpacking a camp sets the player's respawn point there, and buddies share the same respawn location.

Use cases
Exploration trips
Players setting out to explore or settle new areas can carry a base with them and unpack it at each stop.
Survival bases
A camp in a flat, open area gives a survival player a respawn point and a shelter that moves with them.
Who it’s for: Adventure players who explore and settle new areas, and survival players who want a base they can move. Server owners who want a shared respawn option can install it on their server.
How it compares
Easy Chest Dropper is a Fabric mod for 1.21.9 – 1.21.11, client-side only and open source under the MIT License, so it changes nothing on the server. Better Adventure Mode is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11, with client and server environment and a custom license, not open source. Explorer's Camp is for 1.21 – 1.21.8, needs both sides and is not open source.
