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
Jkey, 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-apiprovider: 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]

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>
