Homebound

The Homebound mod offers a balanced home teleportation system that doesn't make travel in Minecraft too easy and preserves the sense of danger in the game.

About the Modification

Most home mods make the game too simplistic. Instant teleportation or the ability to travel anywhere deprives players of the need to creatively solve exploration challenges. Also, it becomes too easy to avoid death with a quick /home. This mod solves these issues by offering a balanced approach.

Almost all aspects of the mod and its items can be customized to individual preferences.

Homebound is designed for minimal performance impact and should be compatible with all other mods.

Usage

Setting Home: Hold a Homebound item in your hand, crouch, look at any block, and use the item.

Teleporting Home: Use a Homebound item or press 'h' (by default) with a Homebound stone in your inventory or special slot. The teleportation process will begin, taking about 10 seconds by default. This can be changed in settings or improved with enchantments.

Hover over the item and press Shift to get detailed information: restrictions, usage time, and cooldown.

If you are riding your own pet, it will teleport with you.

Items

Each Homebound item has unique characteristics: cooldown time, teleportation distance restrictions, interdimensional travel restrictions, and/or usage time. Upgraded versions remove these restrictions or reduce time indicators.

Homeward Stone | The basic item for teleporting home. Finding materials requires exploration, but it's worth it. Cooldown: 1 hour.

Haven Stone | An improved version of Homeward Stone that removes interdimensional teleportation restrictions. Requires 2 Netherite ingots and 6 Nether Bricks.

Homeward Bone | Teleports home from anywhere but is consumed on use and has a 2-hour cooldown. Easy to craft while traveling from mob drops.

Hearthwood | Only works within 160 blocks of home and cannot be enchanted, but has only 10 minutes cooldown and 2 seconds usage time. Simplifies moving around the base.

Dusk Stone | One upgrade path from Haven Stone. Cooldown depends on distance from home: minimum 15 minutes + 1 minute for every 50 blocks (maximum 1 hour). Its direct upgrade - Twilight Stone - has slightly better stats and doesn't drop on death.

Enchantments

• Haste - Reduces item usage time by 10% per level. 3 levels.
• Cooldown - Reduces teleportation cooldown by 5% per level. 4 levels.

Commands
