Arcane Teleport

Vanilla /tp-to-a-player is instant and a little lifeless. Arcane Teleport replaces it with a ritual — a channeled, dramatic, and flashy bit of magic that makes crossing the world feel earned.

Call /tpa to a friend and a cast begins when they accept: the traveler lifts into the air wreathed in glyph particles, both players spend XP to power it, and a lightning strike seals the teleport. Move or take a hit mid-cast and the ritual shatters. Otherwise, you arrive safely on the other side.

The ritual

• Channeled, not instant — a visible cast you can see, feel, and interrupt
• Costs XP from both players — teleporting is a shared price
• Breaks on movement or damage — hold still and stay safe, or lose the cast
• Safe landing — built-in security checks ensure you won't arrive buried in a wall or over a void

Where you can go

• /tpa <player> — request a ritual teleport to another player (they /tpaccept or /tpdeny)
• /tpa coords <x y z> [dimension] — travel to coordinates (small surcharge)
• /tpa bed — return to your respawn point
• /tpa waystone <name> — teleport to a known waystone (with Waystones installed)

Optional client-side flair

Install the same jar on your client and the ritual gains a dramatic fullscreen portal swirl — the genuine vanilla warp effect, with no portal block and no purple plane — ramping up through the cast and fading as you arrive. You also get two chat quality-of-life tweaks (auto-close chat after clicking Accept/Deny; keep chat open after a self-confirm /tpa so the prompt is right there), toggleable via Mod Menu.

No client install? No problem. Players on a vanilla client get a gentler screen-warp fallback and everything else works exactly the same. The swirl also respects your Video Settings → Distortion Effects slider.

One jar, both sides

Arcane Teleport ships as a single jar:

• On a server (required) it provides the whole /tpa system.
• On a client (optional) it adds the portal swirl and chat conveniences.

Same file either place — Fabric's environment system keeps the client-only parts dormant on a dedicated server.

For server admins

• Permission-node aware (Fabric Permissions API — LuckPerms and friends), with a sensible op-level fallback when no permissions mod is installed
• Hot-reloadable config at config/arcane-teleport.json (/tpa reload) — tune costs, effects, and the client-swirl strength
• See who's running the client FX with /tpa debug clients
• An in-game /tpa help book explaining every command

Requirements

• Minecraft 26.1.2 · Fabric Loader 0.19+ · Fabric API · Java 25
• Optional: Mod Menu (client config toggle) · Waystones (for /tpa waystone)
