Staff of Traveling
Staff of Traveling gives players a handheld staff and a set of Travel Anchors that teleport them between points they have placed in the world.
What it does
Players place a Travel Anchor and rename it, then use the staff to move between anchors. Holding the staff and right-clicking a direction sends the player to the nearest anchor in that direction, and standing on an anchor while pressing Jump or Sneak sends the player to the anchor directly above or below. A Travel Anchor can also be disguised as another block by holding it in the offhand and right-clicking an anchor with an empty main hand.
The staff can be enchanted. The Range enchantment raises the maximum distance it can reach, and the Teleportation enchantment lets a digging tool act like the staff. Shift-right-clicking with the staff gives a short teleport forward that passes through blocks, and an Elevator Mode covers vertical travel. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it.
Files cover 1.18 – 1.19.2, with 1.2.12 as the latest file for Fabric and Quilt on 1.19.2 and for Forge on 1.18.2, all dated 2022-12-04. The project is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and its source code, issue tracker and wiki are public.
Key features
Placeable Travel Anchors
Travel Anchors can be placed, renamed and disguised as other blocks, so a network of destinations can be built around a base.
Directional teleport
Holding the staff and aiming in a direction moves the player to the nearest anchor that way.
Vertical anchor jumps
Standing on an anchor and pressing Jump or Sneak sends the player to the anchor directly above or below.
Enchantable staff
The Range enchantment extends how far the staff reaches, and Teleportation can be put on a digging tool.
Short forward teleport
Shift-right-clicking with the staff moves the player a short distance ahead, passing through blocks.
