zHomes

zHomes is a modern, fast and fully-configurable homes plugin for Spigot/Paper/Purpur/PufferFish servers. It focuses on simplicity, speed and customization so server owners can give players a familiar — but powerful — teleportation experience.

Some features:

• Create, delete and list homes
• Admin tools for managing and converting homes
• PlaceholderAPI support for message placeholders
• MiniPlaceholders support for minimessage placeholders
• Vault support for economy/command-costs
• GriefPrevention and WorldGuard integration for region checks
• Teleport warmup and safe-teleport checks
• Configurable commands, messages and permissions
• 100% configurable menus
• Uses SQL (H2/SQLite/MariaDB/MySQL) for storage (no local data/ directory)

Maintained by yL3oft. This project is free and open-source.

Requirements

• Java 17+ (check release notes for exact JDK requirement)
• Paper, Spigot or a compatible fork

Installation

1. Download the latest JAR from Releases / Modrinth / Hangar / Spigot.
2. Place the JAR in your server's plugins/ folder.
3. Start the server once to generate config files (src/main/resources/config.yml defaults).
4. You're done!
