TomsServerUtils
by Tom_The_Geek
TomsServerUtils gives Fabric servers homes, a set-home and teleport system, and optional keep-inventory rules for some dimensions.
What it does
Server owners can set homes for players and teleport to them with commands such as set home and tp. The utilities are meant for servers that run on Fabric, so the mod is installed in the server mods folder and players join without installing anything. Keep inventory can be enabled for some dimensions, and the author notes that the Nether is planned for it.
The author also plans to hide IP addresses in log files, which would make it easier to share debugging output without exposing player addresses. The mod is installed by placing it in the mods folder and starting the server once, which generates the default config file. The server then has to be stopped so the settings can be changed.
Installation needs Fabric Loader on the server and Fabric API, which many other mods depend on. Files target 1.16.4 – 1.16.5 and the latest build is 0.6.0 for 1.16.5, dated 2021-04-17. The code is open source under the MIT License, and snapshot builds are published as well.
Key features
Home commands
Players can set a home and teleport back to it, with commands that run on the server.
Keep inventory by dimension
Keep inventory can be turned on for selected dimensions rather than for the whole world.
Planned log privacy
The author plans to hide IP addresses in log files so debugging output can be shared safely.
Generated config file
Starting the server once creates the default config, which is then edited after the server stops.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
This mod also publishes snapshot builds. Snapshots are not shown in the matrix.
Use cases
Small survival servers
Owners of Fabric servers who want homes and teleports without a separate economy or plugin stack.
Who it’s for: Server owners running Fabric who want homes, teleports and per-dimension keep inventory. Players need nothing installed on their own game.
How it compares
SimpleHomes is also server-side only and open source under the Apache License 2.0, but it targets 1.17.1 while this mod targets 1.16.4 – 1.16.5. XYKey is client-side only under the MIT License and covers 1.16.1 – 1.17, so it does not do the server-side work this mod does.
