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 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 J key, 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-api provider: optional server-side permission provider. Without one, SignPort uses vanilla operator fallback levels.
• Cloth Config: optional client-side config screen. If installed, SignPort's client settings can be edited in-game.
• ModMenu: optional client-side settings entry. If ModMenu and Cloth Config are both installed, SignPort appears in ModMenu's config list.

Sign Format

• Line 1: Any text (display label)
• Line 2: [sp] or [signport]
• Line 3: Anchor name
• Line 4: Dimension ID (optional)

Spawn example:

• Line 1: Spawn
• Line 2: [sp]
• Line 3: spawn

Cross-dimension example:

• Line 1: Nether Hub
• Line 2: [signport]
• Line 3: hub
• Line 4: 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)
• /signport anchor setgroup (name) (group)
• /signport anchor list [filter] [page] [--sort=name|distance|recent]
• /signport anchor near [radius] [page]
• /signport anchor delete (name)
• /signport anchor delete all
• /signport tp (name)

The shorter /sp alias can be used in place of /signport.

Permissions

SignPort works with LuckPerms through fabric-permissions-api. If no permission provider is installed, it falls back to vanilla operator checks.

• signport.anchor.create — operator level 2
• signport.anchor.delete — operator level 2
• signport.anchor.list — operator level 2
• signport.teleport.command — everyone
• signport.sign.create — operator level 2
• signport.sign.edit — operator level 2
• signport.sign.break — operator level 2
• signport.sign.use — everyone

Configuration

On first server start, SignPort creates config/signport.json with these server settings:

• teleportCommandDefault — default true; allows everyone to use /sp tp when no permission provider overrides it.
• signUseDefault — default true; allows everyone to use portal signs when no permission provider overrides it.
• protectedActionOpLevel — default 2; vanilla op level fallback for protected anchor and portal-sign actions.
• crossDimensionPortalSigns — default true; lets line 4 on signs target another dimension.
• safeTeleportSearch — default true; searches for a safe nearby standing spot before teleporting.
• anchorListPageSize — default 10; number of anchors shown per /sp anchor list page.
• defaultNearRadius — default 128; default radius for /sp anchor near.
• bluemapEnabled — default true; enables BlueMap anchor markers when BlueMap is installed.

When installed client-side, SignPort creates config/signport-client.json with these client settings:

• hudHintEnabled — default true; shows portal-sign lookup hints in the hotbar.
• browserKeybindEnabled — default true; enables the anchor browser keybind. Restart the game after changing this value.
• signEditorAutocompleteEnabled — default true; enables anchor-name autocomplete while editing signs.
• signTemplateButtonEnabled — default true; shows the SignPort Template button when the server reports that the player can create portal signs.

Requirements

• Fabric Loader
• Fabric API
• Java 25

Install SignPort on the server. Players do not need to install it on their clients, but installing the same jar client-side enables the optional client helpers listed above.
