Teleporting

Teleporting

The tpa family of commands lets you send and answer teleport requests; /back returns to earlier locations, /spawn takes you to spawn, and /top and /bottom move you vertically.

Teleporting between players uses requests: you ask, the other player accepts, and only then does anything move. Several other commands move you to saved or fixed places.

Teleport requests#

How a request works#

  1. You run /tpa <player>. You see "Teleport request sent to <player>!".
  2. The other player receives "<you> wants to teleport to you! Type /tpaccept <you> or click here to accept!" and can click the message.
  3. If they accept, you see "<player> has accepted your teleport request!" and you teleport. If they deny, you are told.
  4. A request expires after 30 seconds. You cannot send a second request to the same player while one is pending ("Teleport already requested! Please wait a moment!").

Common messages: "You cannot teleport to yourself!", "<player> isn't online!", "That player disabled their teleport requests!", "That player is ignoring your teleport requests!".

On Lifesteal there is a 3 second warm-up after accepting during which moving or taking damage cancels the teleport. See Homes.

/back#

/back returns you to a place you were before. It opens a menu of your saved locations, each with its coordinates and type (teleport or death), and teleports you to the one you click.

DetailValue
Cooldown20 seconds between uses ("You are on cooldown for ...")
Saved locations3 by default; higher donor ranks save more (see Donor Ranks)
What is savedLocations you teleported from and places you died. On Lifesteal only deaths are saved
SafetyThe game searches nearby for a safe spot ("Couldn't find a safe location near that previous location.")

/back is a rank perk. Skyblock gives it from Stone, Lifesteal from Lord, and Survival from Axolotl. Higher ranks also unlock /back death on Lifesteal to jump straight to your last death spot. The exact numbers of saved locations are in the rank perk lists on Donor Ranks.

Spawn#

/spawn sends you to the spawn of the gamemode you are on ("Sending you to spawn..."). On Lifesteal the usual warm-up applies.

Vertical teleports#

Higher ranks unlock /top (teleports to the highest block above you) and /bottom (the lowest block below you). The rank information menus list them as follows:

Gamemode/bottom/top
SkyblockDiamond and EmeraldEmerald
SurvivalStriderHoglin and Strider

Warps and homes#

Server warps are covered on Warps, and homes on Homes. Random teleport commands are specific to each gamemode and are described on that gamemode's pages.
