SimpleTPA

SimpleTPA

A lightweight, vanilla-compatible datapack that adds player-to-player teleport requests (TPA) and a multi-home system to your Minecraft server. No mods, no client-side installation, just drop it in and reload.

Built and tested on Minecraft 1.20.1. Works with modpacks like Better Minecraft (BMC4) since it only uses vanilla commands. Also great for single player — the multi-home system alone makes it worth installing on a solo world.

Features:

• Player teleport requests (TPA) – Send teleport requests to other players with a clickable in-chat menu. No name typing required.
• Multiple incoming requests – Each player has 5 request slots and can accept or deny each one individually with clickable buttons.
• Multi-home system – Each player gets 5 home slots. Set, teleport, and delete homes through a clean clickable menu.
• Cross-dimension teleport – Homes work in the Overworld, Nether, and End.
• Sensible defaults – 60s request timeout, 5s home cooldown, 3s send cooldown.
• No OP required for players – Uses vanilla /trigger so any player can use it.

Commands

All commands use Minecraft’s /trigger system, which works for non-OP players.

Player teleport

• /trigger tpa.menu – Open a clickable list of online players to request teleport to
• /trigger tpa.requests – View all incoming requests with accept/deny buttons
• /trigger tpa.cancel – Cancel your outgoing request

Homes

• /trigger tpa.home – Open the home teleport menu (click to teleport)
• /trigger tpa.homes – View and manage homes (set/teleport/delete)
• /trigger tpa.sethome set – Set a home in slot N
• /trigger tpa.delhome set – Delete home N

Other

• /trigger tpa.help – Show all commands

The easiest way to use the datapack is to type /trigger tpa.help and click the buttons.

Installation

1. Stop your server.
2. Download SimpleTPA.zip.
3. Place it in your world’s datapacks folder (e.g. world/datapacks/).
4. Extract the zip — you should have world/datapacks/SimpleTPA/pack.mcmeta.
5. Start the server. You’ll see [SimpleTPA] Datapack loaded! in chat.

Run /datapack list to confirm [file/SimpleTPA] appears in the enabled list.

Known Constraints

• Vanilla dimensions only for homes – Overworld, Nether, and End. Modded dimensions (Aether, Twilight Forest, etc.) aren’t supported as home destinations.
• 5 home slots and 5 request slots per player – fixed limits.
• Up to 20 players can appear in the TPA menu list.
• Block precision for homes – you’ll land in the center of the block you set home in (no sub-block accuracy).

Why a datapack?

Datapacks are server-side only and don’t require players to install anything. You can add this to any vanilla 1.20.1 server, including modded servers running modpacks like BMC4, without breaking compatibility. Single player worlds support datapacks too — just drop it in your save’s datapacks folder the same way.
