Homebound

The Homebound mod offers a balanced home teleportation system that doesn't remove the danger and need for regular transportation methods from the game.

Update 1.1.0

• Added configurations for all items and other mod aspects
• Implemented Curios compatibility
• Added a hotkey to activate a Homebound stone in your Curios slot or inventory (default 'h')
• Added an interface to display teleportation and home setting progress

About the Mod

Most teleportation mods make the game too easy. Instant teleportation or the ability to teleport to too many locations removes the player's need to solve interesting creative challenges. Homebound solves this problem by offering a balanced teleportation system.

The mod is designed with minimal performance impact and should be compatible with all other mods.

How to Use

Setting a home: While holding a Homebound item, crouch, look at any block, and use the item.

Teleporting home: Use a Homebound item or press 'h' (default) with a Homebound stone in your inventory or Curios slot to begin the teleportation process. Most items take about 10 seconds to use, which can be changed in settings or improved with enchantments.

Hover over the item and press Shift for additional information about it, including restrictions, use time, and cooldown.

If you're riding a tamed pet, it will teleport with you.

After teleportation, a global cooldown activates based on the item used. Some items have longer cooldown times. This cooldown is shared across all Homebound items.

Note: If you take damage while preparing to teleport, the process cancels and adds a 5-second cooldown (configurable), preventing easy death avoidance.

Items

Each Homebound item has a combination of cooldown time, teleportation distance restrictions, interdimensional travel limitations, and/or use times. Upgraded items remove these restrictions or reduce cooldown and use times.

Homeward Stone | Basic home teleportation item. Requires some exploration to craft. Has 1 hour cooldown.

Haven Stone | Upgraded version of the homeward stone that removes interdimensional teleportation restriction. Requires 2 netherite ingots and 6 nether brick.

Homeward Bone | Teleports you home from anywhere but is consumed on use and has a hefty 2-hour cooldown. Easily crafted from mob drops.

Hearthwood | Can only be used within 160 blocks of home and cannot be enchanted, but has only 10 minutes cooldown and 2-second use time. Designed for convenient base navigation.

Dusk Stone | One of two upgrade paths from the haven stone. Cooldown time scales based on distance from home, with minimum 15 minutes. Adds 1 minute cooldown per 50 blocks away, up to 1 hour maximum. Its direct upgrade, Twilight Stone, is slightly better stat-wise and doesn't drop on death.

There are several more items to discover. Recommended to use JEI/REI for easier crafting!

Enchantments
