SignPort

SignPort

SignPort is a Fabric mod that turns ordinary signs into named travel portals. Create an anchor, write its name on a sign, and right-click the sign to teleport.

Original project by approved (GitHub) – approved (Modrinth). Posted this project with their express permission.

Features

• Create, group, list, filter, sort, delete, and teleport to named anchors.
• Turn signs into portals with [sp] or [signport].
• Target anchors in the current dimension or another dimension.
• Browse nearby anchors with /sp anchor near [radius].
• Use tab completion for anchor names and groups.
• Supports front/back sign text by checking the side the player is facing first.
• Colors the portal marker green for valid targets and red for missing targets.
• Optional client features add HUD lookup hints, an anchor browser, sign-editor autocomplete, and a SignPort Template form for filling valid portal signs.
• Optional BlueMap integration publishes anchor markers to your web map.
• Supports LuckPerms through fabric-permissions-api, with vanilla operator fallbacks.

Optional Integrations

SignPort’s core portal and command features are server-side. Vanilla clients can join and use portal signs normally.

• SignPort client mod: optional on players’ clients. When both client and server have SignPort installed, the client receives synced anchor and permission data. This enables portal-sign HUD lookup hints, an anchor browser opened with the J key, sign-editor autocomplete, and the permission-gated SignPort Template button.
• BlueMap: optional server-side integration. When BlueMap is installed, SignPort publishes anchors as marker sets by dimension. Enabled by default.
• LuckPerms or another fabric-permissions-api provider: optional server-side permission provider. Without one, SignPort uses vanilla operator fallback levels.
• ModMenu: optional client-side settings entry. If ModMenu is installed, SignPort appears in ModMenu’s config list.

Sign Format

line 1: any text
line 2: [sp] or [signport]
line 3: anchor-name
line 4: optional dimension id

Examples:

Spawn
[sp]
spawn

Nether Hub
[signport]
hub
nether

Accepted dimension values for line 4: overworld, nether, end, the_nether, the_end, or any full namespace ID like minecraft:overworld or mymod:custom_dimension.

Commands

/signport anchor create <name>
/signport anchor create <name> <group>
/signport anchor create <name> <x> <y> <z>
/signport anchor setgroup <name> <group>
/signport anchor list [filter] [page] [--sort=name|distance|recent]
/signport anchor near [radius] [page]
/signport anchor delete <name>
/signport anchor delete all
/signport tp <name>

The shorter /sp alias can be used in place of /signport.

Permissions

SignPort works with LuckPerms through fabric-permissions-api. If no permission provider is installed, it falls back to vanilla operator checks.

| Permission | Default |
| — | — |
| signport.anchor.create | operator level 2 |
| signport.anchor.delete | operator level 2 |
| signport.anchor.list | operator level 2 |
| signport.teleport.command | everyone |
| signport.sign.create | operator level 2 |
| signport.sign.edit | operator level 2 |
| signport.sign.break | operator level 2 |
| signport.sign.use | everyone |

Configuration

On first server start, SignPort creates config/signport.json with these server settings:

| Setting | Default | Description |
| — | — | — |
| teleportCommandDefault | true | Allows everyone to use /sp tp when no permission provider overrides it. |
| signUseDefault | true | Allows everyone to use portal signs when no permission provider overrides it. |

| crossDimensionPortalSigns | true | Lets line 4 on signs target another dimension. |
| safeTeleportSearch | true | Searches for a safe nearby standing spot before teleporting. |
| anchorListPageSize | 10 | Number of anchors shown per /sp anchor list page. |
| defaultNearRadius | 128 | Default radius for /sp anchor near. |
| bluemapEnabled | true | Enables BlueMap anchor markers when BlueMap is installed. |

When installed client-side, SignPort creates config/signport-client.json with these client settings:

| Setting | Default | Description |
| — | — | — |
| hudHintEnabled | true | Shows portal-sign lookup hints in the hotbar. |
| browserKeybindEnabled | true | Enables the anchor browser keybind. Restart the game after changing this value. |

Requirements

• Fabric Loader
• Fabric API
• Java 25

Install SignPort on the server. Players do not need to install it on their clients, but installing the same jar client-side enables the optional client helpers listed above.
