Warper
by t-hermanns
Players who need fixed travel points on a Fabric server can place a sign-based warp with Warper, which lets them return to any saved point through a GUI.
What it does
A warp is made by placing a sign and writing the warp's name on its second line, with a block chosen as the warp's icon for the menu. Once the sign is waxed it turns glowing and can no longer be edited. After an activation delay, which defaults to 20 minutes, right-clicking the warp sign opens an inventory-based GUI listing the destinations, and selecting one teleports the player there. Breaking the sign removes the warp point, and right-clicking a warp that is not active yet shows the remaining time.
Warper is a server-side Fabric mod, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. Travel works across dimensions, and placement is restricted by spacing rules within each dimension. Each world can hold up to 55 warp points. Fabric API is required, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Files exist for 1.20.4 and 1.21.11, plus 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, with 1.1.0+26.3 for 26.3 as the latest build from 2026-09-21.
Key features
Sign-based warp creation
A warp is set up on a sign: the first line stays blank for the sign's top block and the second line carries the warp name.
Inventory warp menu
Right-clicking an active warp sign opens a GUI where each destination appears with its chosen icon block.
Activation delay
New warps wait a configurable period, 20 minutes by default, before they can be used as destinations.
Distance and count limits
Warps must be at least 50 blocks apart in one dimension, and a world holds up to 55 warp points.

How it compares
Warper is a server-side Fabric mod under the MIT License, with a 1.20.4 – 26.3 range of files. Warp-Mod is also server-side and Fabric-only, but it is CC0 1.0 Universal and built for 1.21.5. pbwarps is server-side, open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and covers 1.21.1 – 26.3, so the two overlap heavily in version range. WorldWarps is the one option on Forge, licensed under the MIT License for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1.
