Teleportation & Homes

Getting around the server, quick teleports, and your personal home slots.

Last updated August 2026. Part of the VortexEssentials series.

Teleport Countdown

Most teleports here (/back, /tpa, and home teleports) use the same 5-second countdown before actually moving you:

An action bar counts down each second with a rising note-block ping.
Stay still. Moving more than a step during the countdown cancels the teleport.
You can't start a second countdown while one is already running, you'll be told to stay still instead.
On success: green particles, a teleport sound, and a checkmark title.

/rtp is the one exception, it teleports instantly with no countdown (see below).

`/back`

Aliases: /goback, /warpback

Returns you to wherever you were right before your last teleport, or right before you died.

Saved automatically on death, and on basically every teleport, whether that's /tpa, a home, a warp, or anything else.
Leaving spawn or leaving the AFK world doesn't count as a trackable location, so /back won't ever land you at spawn or in the AFK world by accident.
No cooldown.

`/rtp`

Aliases: /wild, /wilderness, /randomtp

Teleports you to a random spot 500 to 1000 blocks away from your current position, instantly, no countdown.

Costs $250, deducted before the search even starts. If you can't afford it, it won't try.
10 minute cooldown between uses.
Only works while you're in the main world, not in other dimensions or special worlds.
Landing spots are checked for safety, solid ground, clear air, and avoids oceans, rivers, and dangerous biomes like the Nether-adjacent ones. If it can't find a safe spot after a fair number of tries, it'll tell you and refund nothing (no charge occurs if it fails to relocate you before the attempt limit).
There's also a portal shortcut in the world that triggers a random teleport automatically when you step through it.

`/tpa`

Sends a teleport request to another player: /tpa <player>

The request appears as a popup menu on the target's screen with Accept and Deny buttons, there's no typed reply command, just click.
Requests expire after 30 seconds if ignored.
You can only have one request out to a given player at a time, and you can't send a new request while a countdown teleport of your own is already running.
15 second cooldown between sending requests.
On accept, you're teleported to wherever the target currently is (with the usual 5-second countdown).

/tpatoggle (alias /toggletpa) - turns incoming TPA requests on or off for yourself. Toggling it off only blocks requests coming to you, you can still send your own requests to others.

Homes

Open /homes to manage your home slots.

2 home slots by default. Certain donor perks bump this up to 5.
Setting a home is done entirely through the GUI, click an open slot and name it (up to 16 characters, letters/numbers/underscores only).
Deleting a home is also done through the GUI.
No cost to set a home.
No cooldown on teleporting to a home, just the standard 5-second countdown.
You can also teleport to your bed spawn point from the same menu, if you've set one.

If you're inside a Private Cell, you can only set a home while actually standing in your own claimed cell. Outside of cells, you just need to be within the world border.

`/afkworld`

Aliases: /gotoafk, /afkisle

Instantly teleports you to the AFK world's spawn point, no countdown, no particle flair, just a straight teleport with a confirmation message.
