Recall Stones
Based on a system I remember using in ultma online comes a minecraft mod called Recall Stones.
This mod adds new items and blocks that provides a system of stones that allow players to instantly teleport to another location in the world, or another.
Mod requires Forge to be installed.
With Thanks to Roxforbraynz who provided the textures!

Updated! (22/05/2014)
New textures for Player Essence and Following Stone.
Stone Charges
Before looking at the stones themselves you need to know about the charge system.
Each stone can store ender charges in them. Each recall will use a certain amount of charge depending on the type of stone.
To recharge the stone you just need to put it in a crafting grid with some ender pearls, each pearl adds 5 charges (Configurable in the config file) like so:
Current Items / Blocks
This mod currently has the following craftable items:
Player Essence
Dropped from other players when you kill them......
Recall Stone
Can store 10 charges and cost 2 per recall (Configurable in the config file).
Sneak right click with this item will set the recall point of the stone to your current location.
It will also allow you to name the stone when you set your recall point.
Right click again will transport you back to that position.
There is a 10 second cool down time after each use and you can not use it to cross dimensions.
Dimension Recall Stone
Can store 25 charges and cost 5 per recall (Configurable in the config file).
Works in the same way as the recall stone, but can also work across dimensions.
Following Recall Stone
Can store 100 charges and cost 25 per recall (Configurable in the config file).
Crafted with a player essence. Will transport you to the player whose essence you made the stone with.
Will work across dimensions and won't work if the player is offline or dead.
Future Features / Items / Blocks
The following is a list of features that MAY be added to the mod in the future.
- Linked Stones
- Linking Block
- Clearing Block
- Holding Block
- Portal
- Stone Block
- Coloured Stone, Set your own custom colour for different stones
Feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Does Player Essence only drop if PvP is on? It dropped on some of my test servers.... But now isn't dropping on my server that's all set up... I maybe didn't have PvP off on the tests... But otherwise all the same mods were installed....
Is there a way of resetting a stone's location? I tried sneak-right clicking again and that just tried (and failed) to port me again. The reason I was trying to reset it was I keep getting an error "Something is blocking the destination"
I too am curious as how to reset the stone.
As several people have noted on the github issues page (including me), RecallStones-1.10.2-0.6.2.jar version does not work, it crashes the game. Same thing hapens in version 6.1.
Very useful mod, though I find the bullying potential of the Following Recall Stone a bit... much. I recommend you remove the Player Essence and add a stone that a player right-clicks to bind it to themselves. That way, they can distribute the stones among friends without someone with end-game weaponry killing them ten times in as many minutes.
Totally agree with you on the following stone aspect, it's gonna be one of the first things I change now that I'm updating it again.
I'm glad to hear that. :D Keep up the great work.
Why this isn't seen in more livestreams/YT is beyond me! This recall system is very balanced and so far working great with FTB Infinity! Thanks for this great mod! :) :) :)
Great idea and would love to see it expanded. However, an non-pvp option for Player Essence would be a nice addition. Perhaps using some special stone that can be linked to a player. To prevent the Following Recall Stone from being just a griefing tool, maybe some sort of stone that will ward again players recalling to them. Also, some sort of container for your stones seems needed, or perhaps some sort of matrix you can store a set number of stones for quick recall to their stored points and using a charge pool.
recall stones crash across dimensions.. galacticraft moons for example
can i use this mod for a hardcore server
It's nice to see UO players playing Minecraft. Good times, good times.
This is an awesome mod. I will continue to use it in modpacks to spread knowledge of it.
I would suggest you make it for 1.6.4 and 1.7.10 when you get the chance. Those are two popular forge versions. quite a few popular mod designers skipped 1.7.2 because of the bugs with the ore dictionary and such.As well as the modpack I'm making is 1.6.4, though I may update it to 1.7.10 when I get a better pc.This looks amazing! Could i use it on a server w/ friends?
