Wordstones
by Sindercube
Wordstones adds a Wordstone block that lets players travel to any other activated Wordstone, giving a personal teleport option built around a new progression path.
What it does
Players activate a Wordstone once and can later travel back to it from any other Wordstone. The mod is a nerdy take on fast travel and is inspired by Waystones, though its progression runs through the Strongholds, where a new resource item called Tomes can be found. Tomes are then used in crafting Wordstones and Enchanting Tables.
A Drop Boxes block provides dedicated storage for players who want an extra inventory outside their own. The mod runs on Fabric and needs Fabric API, so that library must be installed alongside it. It is published for 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 1.1.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest file, and is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it open source. Client and server both need it, so the server and every player install it.
Source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked from the project. Wordstones was first published on 2025-07-22 and last updated on 2026-04-08. Snapshot builds are not listed for it.
Key features
Wordstone travel
Activated Wordstones serve as destinations: any Wordstone a player has already switched on can be picked as a point to travel to, without typing a command.
Tomes from Strongholds
Tomes are a new resource item found in Strongholds and used in crafting Wordstones and Enchanting Tables.
Drop Boxes storage
A new storage block gives each player a dedicated inventory for items kept outside their main pack.
Personal teleportation
Teleportation is tied to each player's own Wordstones, so the network grows with the player's progress.

How it compares
Teleport Circles is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1, released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, so it is open source and needs the same client and server environment. Tome Reader is also Fabric and open source under the MIT License, but it covers 1.20 – 1.21 instead of Wordstones' 1.21 – 1.21.1 range. Custom End Portals is an MIT-licensed open source Fabric mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.3, so it covers the same version as Wordstones but a different set of features.
