Homes and Teleports

This page covers the ways to move around Survival: your own homes, teleporting to friends, the spawn and warps, and random teleport into the overworld, Nether, End and resource worlds. For the general versions of these commands see Homes, Teleporting and Warps.

Homes#

• A home must be on solid ground and above Y -64: "Your home must be on the ground!" and "Your home must be above Y -64!"
• Setting a name you already use asks "Are you sure you want to override your current home" with Yes, override and Cancel.
• Homes work in the overworld, the Nether, the End and the resource worlds, but not in the PvP world or the AFK area ("You can't create homes here!"). Do not set homes in resource worlds: they reset every week.
• Inside someone else's claim you need their Create Home permission, otherwise "You can't set a home here." Outside claims anyone can set a home. See Claim Protections.
• Teleports start immediately. There is no warm-up on Survival, for homes or any other teleport on this page.

Home slots#

Every player can set at least one home. Ranks raise the limit:

Each rank's menu (for example /ranks-axolotl) lists its home slots. See Donor Ranks.

"You have reached the maximum amount of homes!" means you are out of slots. Delete a home or get a higher rank.

/back#

/back returns you to a previous location: where you teleported from, or where you died. It opens the Previous Locations menu; click an entry to teleport there. There is a 20 second cooldown between uses. It is a rank perk, from Axolotl up.

Teleport requests#

Ask to go to another player, or ask them to come to you. Nothing happens until they accept.

• The request message has a clickable accept link. A request expires after 30 seconds.
• You cannot request yourself, a player who disabled requests ("That player disabled their teleport requests!") or one who ignores you ("That player is ignoring your teleport requests!").
• Claim bans apply: a player banned from a claim cannot teleport into it. See Claim Bans.
• Members of your town can also use /tp <player>. See Town Chat and Member Teleport.

Spawn and warps#

The Warps menu lists Spawn, Crates, PvP, Auction House and Custom Enchants. The three outposts have their own warps, see Town Boosters and Outposts. Player-made warps are separate, see Player Warps. Town warps are separate too, see Town Home and Warps.

Random teleport#

/rtp (alias /wild) teleports you to a random safe spot. It works from the overworld, the Nether, the End, the resource worlds and spawn, but not from the PvP world or the AFK area. /rtpmenu opens a menu with the same choices as buttons: Overworld, Nether and End, each with a normal world and a resource world.

A random teleport lands you on a safe block, more than 32 blocks from any sector line or the world edge and at least 50 blocks from any other player. In the overworld it also avoids the square from -1,000 to 0 on both axes. If no safe spot is found you see "Can't find a safe position! Please try again in a few seconds."

Biome teleport#

/rtp biome [world] [biome] (aliases /biomertp and /brtp) teleports you to a chosen biome in the overworld resource world. Without arguments it opens the Biome Teleport menu.

Biomes offered: Plains, Forest, Birch Forest, Dark Forest, Taiga, Jungle, Savanna, Desert, Badlands, Swamp, Mangrove Swamp, Snowy Plains, Cherry Grove, Mushroom Fields, Lush Caves, Dripstone Caves and Deep Dark. While your cooldown runs, each biome shows when you can teleport again.

Other movement commands#

Both /top and /bottom pass through solid blocks, so they are blocked inside someone else's claim. See Claim Protections.
