Returner
by dabrelity
Returner brings home, warp, spawn, random teleport and player-to-player teleport commands to Forge servers running 1.12.2.
What it does
Homes, warps and the spawn point are saved per player and persist between sessions. Server owners set the number of homes a player may keep, the cooldown between uses and the command permissions in the configuration file. A random teleport command scans for safe ground, respects the world border and retries when a spot is unsuitable.
Players can send teleport requests to each other with a TPA or TPHere flow that supports accept, deny and cancel. Admin helpers cover instant healing and a toggleable god mode. Each command family can be switched off, and cooldown durations are set per command type.
Returner is published for Forge 1.12.2 only, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. It runs on client and server, and the server and every player need it. The latest file, 1.0.0, dates from 2025-11-10, the same day the mod was first published.
Key features
Homes and warps
Players keep persistent homes, while server staff define named warps and a shared spawn point.
Random teleport

Teleport requests
A request system lets players ask to teleport to another player or pull one to themselves, with accept, deny and cancel options.
Admin helpers
Instant heal and a toggleable god mode are available to staff for quick moderation and testing.
Per-command control
Each command family can be enabled or disabled, and each command type has its own cooldown and permission check.
