HuskHomes is the teleportation layer for a Java server. Players get /sethome, /home, /warp, /tpa and /rtp, admins get /tp plus tools for managing other people's homes, and the whole thing is driven by clickable chat menus rather than chest GUIs. Current 4.11 builds cover Paper, Spigot and Folia from 1.20.1 through 26.2, with a separate Fabric build that tracks the newest Minecraft release.
What HuskHomes adds
- Private homes through /sethome and /home, with per-group limits so ranks can be given more slots.
- Public homes any player can visit, listed and teleported to with /publichome.
- Server-wide warps set and used with /warp.
- Teleport requests with /tpa, answered from clickable Accept and Decline options in chat.
- Random teleporting with /rtp for spreading players out on a fresh map.
- Return to a previous position, and teleporting to players who are offline.
- Home editing in place, covering rename, relocate, description and public or private state.
- Cross-server teleporting across a BungeeCord or Velocity network when a MySQL 8.0 database is configured.
- Optional hooks that draw homes on Dynmap or BlueMap, feed analytics into Plan, and read group limits from a permissions plugin.
Server software and the Fabric build
HuskHomes is a Bukkit-family plugin first, and the Spigot, Paper and Folia builds are the ones that stay current. It genuinely runs on Fabric as well, but as a server-side mod installed on a Fabric server, not as something a player adds to their client. Purpur and Sponge each have builds that have not been updated in some time.
- Spigot, Paper and Folia, current 4.11 build from August 2026, 1.20.1 through 26.2.
- Fabric, current 4.11 build from August 2026, 26.2 only, and it needs Fabric API.
- Purpur, last built March 2025 at 4.9.5, up to 1.21.4.
- Sponge, last built October 2024 at 4.7.1, 1.19.4 only.
- Java 17 or newer is required on every platform.
Installation
- 1.Download the jar that matches your platform. Spigot and Fabric each have their own file.
- 2.Put it in the plugins folder, or the mods folder on a Fabric server alongside Fabric API.
- 3.Confirm the server runs Java 17 or newer, then restart.
- 4.For a single server, the default SQLite storage works with no further setup.
- 5.For cross-server teleporting, point the config at a MySQL 8.0 database and install the same build on every backend server in the network.
How it compares with EssentialsX
EssentialsX also provides /sethome, /warp and /tpa, so running both means two plugins competing for the same commands. The split is one of scope. EssentialsX is a broad toolkit that bundles teleportation alongside kits, economy, chat formatting and moderation commands. HuskHomes does teleportation only, and puts its weight into the parts EssentialsX leaves out, mainly cross-server teleporting over MySQL, in-chat home editing, and web map hooks. Pick one to own the home and warp commands, and disable those commands in the other.
Questions about HuskHomes.
5 questions
How do I install HuskHomes?
Download the jar for your platform, since Spigot, Fabric and Sponge each have a separate build. Drop it in the plugins folder, or the mods folder with Fabric API on a Fabric server, and restart on Java 17 or newer. A single server needs no database setup. Cross-server teleporting needs MySQL 8.0 and the same build on every server in the network.
Does HuskHomes work on Fabric?
Yes, as a server-side mod for a Fabric server, not as a client mod. It requires Fabric API. The Fabric build behaves differently from the Bukkit ones in version coverage, targeting only the newest Minecraft release, which is currently 26.2. Spigot, Paper and Folia builds cover a much wider range from 1.20.1 upward.
Which Minecraft version does HuskHomes support?
The project as a whole reaches back to 1.16.5 and forward to 26.2, but coverage depends on the platform. The current 4.11 builds handle 1.20.1 through 26.2 on Spigot, Paper and Folia, and 26.2 on Fabric. The Purpur build stopped at 1.21.4 and the Sponge build at 1.19.4.
Can players teleport between servers on a proxy network?
Yes, with a MySQL 8.0 database. HuskHomes stores homes, warps and teleport state in that shared database, so a player on one backend server can /home or /tpa to a destination on another server across a BungeeCord or Velocity proxy. Install the plugin on every backend server rather than on the proxy itself.
Does HuskHomes conflict with EssentialsX?
They overlap rather than break. Both register /sethome, /home, /warp and /tpa, so whichever loads first tends to win and the result is unpredictable for players. Choose one plugin to handle homes and teleports, then disable the matching commands in the other through its config or a command alias override.
