Home System

The home system allows players to save locations and teleport back to them instantly. This guide explains how the system works and how to use it effectively.

Overview

A home is a saved location in the world that a player can teleport to at any time. Each home stores:

World: The world/dimension the home is in
Position: X, Y, Z coordinates
Look Direction: Pitch (up/down) and Yaw (left/right) rotation

When you teleport to a home, you will be placed at the exact position and facing the same direction as when you set the home.

Quick Start

Setting Your First Home

Stand where you want your home to be and run:

/sethome

This creates a home named “home” (the default name).

Teleporting Home

/home

This teleports you to your default home.

Multiple Homes

If you have permission for multiple homes, you can name them:

/sethome base
/sethome farm
/sethome mine

Then teleport to any of them:

/home base
/home farm
/home mine

Commands Summary

Command	Description
`/home`	Teleport to your default home
`/home <name>`	Teleport to a specific home
`/homes`	List all your homes
`/sethome`	Set a home at your location (default name)
`/sethome <name>`	Set a named home at your location
`/delhome <name>`	Delete a specific home
`/delhome *`	Delete all your homes
`/renamehome <old> <new>`	Rename an existing home

Home Limits

The number of homes you can have depends on your permissions:

Permission	Homes
`everessentials.sethome` only	1
`+ everessentials.sethome.multiple`	3 (default)
`+ everessentials.sethome.multiple.vip`	5
`+ everessentials.sethome.multiple.staff`	10
`+ everessentials.sethome.multiple.unlimited`	Unlimited

Home Names

Valid Names

Home names can contain:

Letters (a-z, A-Z)
Numbers (0-9)
Underscores (_)
Hyphens (-)

Examples of valid names: home, base, farm_1, my-house, 123

Invalid Names

Empty or blank names
Names containing spaces (my home ❌)
Names containing colons (player:home ❌ - reserved for admin syntax)
The reserved name bed (reserved for bed respawn)

No Home Behavior

When you use /home without having any homes set, the behavior depends on the server configuration:

If `spawnIfNoHome` is enabled (default)

You will be teleported to the world spawn point with a message:

No home set, teleporting to spawn…

If `spawnIfNoHome` is disabled

You will receive an error message:

You don’t have any homes set.

Updating a Home

If you set a home with a name that already exists, the old location is replaced:

/sethome base

Home base has been updated!

This is useful for moving your base to a new location without deleting and recreating the home.

Data Storage

Your homes are saved automatically when:

You set, delete, or rename a home
You disconnect from the server
The server shuts down

Homes persist across server restarts and are tied to your player UUID.

Storage Location

Depending on the server configuration:

Storage Type	Location
JSON (default)	`mods/EverHytale_EverEssentials/data/players/<uuid>.json`
H2	`mods/EverHytale_EverEssentials/everessentials.mv.db`
MySQL/PostgreSQL	Remote database

Admin Features

Server administrators can manage other players’ homes.

Viewing Other Players’ Homes

/homes <player>

Permission: everessentials.homes.others

Teleporting to Other Players’ Homes

/home <player>:<homename>

Permission: everessentials.home.others

Managing Other Players’ Homes

/sethome <player>:<homename>
/delhome <player>:<homename>
/renamehome <player>:<oldname> <newname>

Permissions: everessentials.sethome.others, everessentials.delhome.others, everessentials.renamehome.others

Tips & Best Practices

Name your homes descriptively: Use names like farm, mine, nether_portal instead of 1, 2, 3
Face the right direction: When setting a home, face the direction you want to be looking when you teleport back
Set homes in safe locations: Avoid setting homes in water, lava, or areas where you might fall
Use /homes to check your limit: The /homes command shows how many homes you have and your maximum
Rename instead of delete: If you want to change a home name, use /renamehome to preserve the location
