Player Teleportation

The player teleportation allows the player to input X,Y,Z coordinates in the corresponding boxes as shown below. 

An additional parameter, Teleport type allows the player to determine how the teleportation behaves by toggling the setting. The displayed setting will be the player's selected setting.

  • Top Block (Default setting): Detects a location near the inputted coordinates where the block below the player is solid
  • Precise: Teleports to the player to the exact coordinates. It does not factor in potentional hazards.

Trivia

  • As of 0.0.8A Patch 3, the Vortex Manipulator cannot be used in the Tardis interior dimension, to prevent exploits in multiplayer worlds.
  • When the manipulator is placed in any inventory slot (exceptions being the offhand, and all armor slots) it renders over the player's right arm.
  • In the 1.14.4 pre-alpha builds, the Vortex Manipulator's model will display an "open state" when right clicked
