Magic Mirror
by Quiltie
With Magic Mirror installed, a player can teleport back to their respawn point from almost anywhere, using a mirror item adapted from Terraria.
What it does
The mod adds two kinds of mirror taken from Terraria: a regular magic mirror and an ice magic mirror. Using either one moves the player to the respawn point. By default the mirrors only work in the overworld, and the gamerule magicMirrorWorksEverywhere switches that off so they function in every dimension. The return trip is limited by a cooldown, which the magicMirrorCooldown gamerule sets in seconds, with a default of 10.
Magic Mirror is built for Fabric and Quilt and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It requires Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) and Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL). Files cover 33 release versions, 1.17 – 26.2, with snapshot builds also published. The latest Fabric file is 1.2.3 for 26.2, and the latest Quilt file is 1.1.1 for 1.20.1 on the beta channel. The code is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
Key features
Regular magic mirror
A mirror item from Terraria that returns the player to their respawn point when used.
Ice magic mirror
A second mirror type from Terraria, added alongside the regular one as its own item.
Overworld restriction
Mirrors work only in the overworld by default, and a gamerule lifts that limit for all dimensions.
Adjustable cooldown
A gamerule sets the wait between uses in seconds, defaulting to 10.
Commented configuration
Every config property carries a description with minimum, maximum and default values.

Use cases
Returning from distant trips
Players who explore far from spawn can get back to their respawn point without walking the whole way.
Survival and adventure maps
Worlds that use the overworld-only rule keep mirror travel limited to one dimension, which suits progression-based play.
Who it’s for: Players who want a Terraria-style respawn mirror on Fabric or Quilt, and server owners who want to set its overworld limit and cooldown through gamerules.
How it compares
Toad's Toolbox is a Fabric and Quilt mod that is not open source, is released under All rights reserved and covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.1. Magi Mirrou is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, runs on Fabric alone and is published for 1.21.11 only. InstaRespawn is open source under the MIT License and is client-side only, so a server does not need it, unlike Magic Mirror, which both sides must run.
