ReHome
by KCLucas
Players who leave a farm or base to explore can have ReHome bring them back, since it remembers a location and returns the player to it after they drift too far.
What it does
ReHome is a client-side mod that uses the server's own home system to keep a player near a chosen spot. A player sets a home with a command such as rehome set farm1, and the mod remembers that location. When the player drifts too far from it, the mod sends them back automatically.
The mod is aimed at players who stay AFK on a server, because idle players are often kicked. It checks the position a second time before acting and then only re-checks every 60 seconds, so chat is not flooded after the first attempt. It also handles disconnects and world restarts by teleporting the player back to the home point once they rejoin. Purely client-side, it needs a server installation of the home system it relies on.
Files are published for Fabric only, with a single release, 1.0.0 for 1.21.11, dated 2026-07-02. The code is under the MIT License and is open source, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Automatic return home
Once the player moves beyond the set distance, the mod teleports them back to the saved home point without any input.
Saved home per player
A home spot is stored when the player sets it, so it can be reused later after a reconnect or a world restart.
Quiet position checks
After the first attempt the mod only re-checks the position every 60 seconds, which avoids spamming chat.
AFK monitoring
Monitoring can be enabled to keep an AFK player near a farm, so the idle time that triggers a kick is avoided.

How it compares
HomeMod is a Fabric mod released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Its files target 1.21, and it needs a server install while players may add it or leave it out. Set Home covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.20.2 – 26.3, is needed on the server, with the client optional, and is under the Apache License 2.0. /sethome and /home Commands is server-side only, under the MIT License, and built for 26.1.2, so players never install it.

What the author says
You know the problem: you're AFK on a server and get kicked - that's what auto-reauth mods are for, reconnecting you automatically. But what if the world just restarts and you get teleported to spawn? Then you have to manually get back to your farm yourself.
