Homebound
by Silvertide
Homebound lets players set a home point with a set of items and return to it through a timed teleport, with restrictions tuned in the config.
What it does
Players set a home by using a Homebound item on a block, which starts a teleport after a delay. Most items need about 10 seconds to begin the teleport, and a cooldown follows each use. A global cooldown is shared across all Homebound items, and the length of each cooldown depends on the item used. A Homebound Stone is the basic item, and upgraded items remove some restrictions and shorten cooldowns.
Homebound is built to keep travel from becoming trivial: taking damage while channeling cancels the warp and adds a configurable five second cooldown, and death can be made costly again. Restrictions on warp distance and dimensional travel can be set per item or by combination. Almost everything about the items is configurable, so a server can tune the balance to its own pace.
The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 and is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, which is not open source. Both the server and every player need it, and mounted pets can travel along with their owner. The source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Setting a home
A Homebound item is used on a block while crouching and looking at it, and the item stores that location as the home.
Teleport with a keybind
Pressing H with a Homebound item, or a Homebound Stone in an inventory or Curios slot, begins the teleport process.
Shared cooldowns
A global cooldown follows each teleport, and cooldowns differ by item; holding Shift over an item shows its restrictions.
Harder escapes
Taking damage while channeling cancels the teleport, and death returns to the older, costlier style of play.
Upgradable items
Upgraded items drop some restrictions, reduce cooldowns and allow more uses before they break.
