Better /home: A Complete Home System for Minecraft
Every Minecraft player knows the pain of a long journey back to base. You wander thousands of blocks from spawn, gather a full inventory of resources, and then face the slow trek home. The Better /home add-on solves that problem with a full-featured home system built for Forge servers and single-player worlds. Instead of relying on a bare-bones teleport command, this mod gives you named homes, a configurable limit, and a countdown that keeps teleporting fair during combat or dangerous situations.
What Better /home Adds to Your World
At its core, Better /home is a Minecraft Forge mod that expands the classic home command into something far more flexible. You are not stuck with a single spawn point anymore. You can create multiple homes, give each one a memorable name, and jump between them whenever you need to. Whether you run a small survival server with friends or a large public world, this mod keeps travel convenient without removing the challenge of exploration.
The most noticeable feature is the teleport countdown. When you trigger a teleport, a 15-second timer begins. If you move during that window, the teleport cancels. This design choice prevents players from escaping combat or bypassing danger instantly, which makes the mod a good fit for survival-focused servers that still want quality-of-life commands.
Commands You Will Use Every Day
The command set is small, clear, and easy to remember. Here is the full list:
- /sethome - Set a home named "home" at your current position.
- /sethome <name> - Set a named home at your current position.
- /home - Teleport to your home named "home".
- /home <name> - Teleport to a named home.
- /homes - List all of your saved homes.
- /delhome - Delete the home named "home".
- /delhome <name> - Delete a named home.
Naming your homes matters more than it seems. A miner might keep one home at a deep cave entrance, another at a village trading post, and a third at a nether portal hub. With /homes you can always check what you have saved, and /delhome keeps the list tidy when a base becomes obsolete.
Configuration and the Home Limit
After the first server launch, the mod generates a config file at config/sethome-server.toml. Inside it you will find a single option under the [homes] section:
- maxHomes - The maximum number of homes a player can have, ranging from 1 to 100. The default is 5.
That range gives server owners real control. A hardcore world might set maxHomes to 1, while a creative building server could raise it to 50 or more. Because the value lives in a server config, it applies to everyone on the server and stays consistent across restarts.
If you would rather skip manual file editing, the foxygame.net launcher handles the whole setup for you: it pulls Better /home straight from its add-on catalog and installs it with a single click, so the config is ready the moment your world loads.
Supported Versions and Loaders
Better /home is built for Minecraft Forge, which means it works alongside the huge library of Forge mods that players already use. It is designed for modern Minecraft releases, so check the mod page for the exact game version that matches your server. Running a Forge server means you can pair it with minimaps, inventory tweaks, and other convenience mods without conflicts. Just make sure every client and the server share the same Forge build to avoid connection errors.
How to Install Better /home
Getting started is straightforward. First, confirm that Forge is installed for your Minecraft version. Next, download Better /home from a trusted mod source and place the .jar file into your mods folder. Launch the game or server once so the config file generates, then adjust maxHomes to your preferred value. Restart, join your world, and type /sethome to create your first home. If you are setting this up for a group, install it on the server only; players connecting with a matching Forge client will be able to use the commands immediately.
For anyone who wants a smoother path, the foxygame.net launcher also keeps Better /home updated automatically, so you never have to hunt down a new build after a Minecraft patch.
Why It Fits Almost Any Server
Better /home strikes a balance that few teleport mods manage. It is generous enough to save time, yet the movement-cancellable countdown keeps it from feeling like a cheat. Named homes encourage players to build multiple bases and explore farther, knowing they can always return. The configurable limit lets admins scale the feature to their community size, and the Forge support means it slots into existing modpacks without friction.
If your world has outgrown a single home command, Better /home is the upgrade that makes travel feel effortless again.
