Stagehand
by CoraBora
Stagehand is a Fabric mod that lets builders run pocket dimensions, visitor rules, custom loot and ambience in Minecraft 1.21.1.
What it does
Stagehand is built for build artists who work in survival multiplayer. A set of stage dimensions gives each builder a separate space, and the worldspawn can be pointed at a chosen stage hub so guests arrive in the right place. Visitors default to Adventure Mode, and whitelists let the owner decide who may enter a build.
The mod also covers scene details. Teleports can be tied to redstone with location-aware targets, loot chests can refill on the same schedule as vanilla, and particle effects, sound-filled speaker blocks and custom ambience are available to set up a scene. Blocks can be linked to behave like others, so an ice block can freeze players standing in a linked room. Stagehand is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Its files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.1, and the code is under the MIT License without being open source.
