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.
With Thanks to Roxforbraynz who provided the textures!
UPDATED (22/05/2013)
v0.4.6:
New Textures for Player Essence and Following Stone.
Mod is now considered released and is now open sourced.
Change Log:
v0.4:
Added Player Essence when you kill a player.
Added Following Stone which are crafted with the player essence.
Following Stone will allow you to recall to the player whose essence you got.
v0.3:
Brand new textures by Roxforbraynz!
Added a config file making almost everything customisable
Added stones to dungeon loot as rare items
Implemented a charge system based on ender pearls (can be disabled in config)
- Each recall costs a number of charges (Default 2, 5 (Recall, Dimensional))
- Each stone can hold a max amount of charges (Default 10, 25)
- To recharge 5 (default amount) charges craft stone with ender pearl (1 or more)
v0.2:
Added sounds and particles. Stones can now be named when setting the recall point.
Stone Charge System
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).
Right click with this item will set the recall point of the stone to your current location.
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.
Dimension 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
Following Stones v0.4
Linking Block
Clearing Block
Holding Block
Portal
Stone Block
Drops: Player Essence v0.4
Coloured stones
Stones require fuel per use (cross dimension = more) (ender pearls(?)) v0.3
Quite the useful mod! I have some suggestions for you to make it somewhat more balanced and give it some quality of life improvements.
Stones can be colored: Easily identify which stone goes where using any of the base dyes on a linked stone.
Stones can be renamed without an anvil via shift-rightclick, akin to the Backpack Mod's renaming system.
Limited uses, refueled by Ender Pearls. Something to the tune of ten uses per Pearl sounds good to me.
Also, if you'd like, I'm pretty good at making textures. I could create some new textures for them if you so desire. I can supply some up-to-date examples of my work if you're interested.

@Roxforbraynz Thanks for the feedback, very good points.
I love the idea of colouring the stones, fantastic idea!
Renaming stones without the anvil was just added (Been adding it all day).
I totally agree with the fuelling of it, I was thinking enter pearls as well but I was not being as nice as you I was going to use 1 per jump!
And yes I'd love some textures if you want to contribute. You'll get full credit of course! (It's just the two stones at the moment, but there will be some more stuff coming up)
Awesome! I'll get some textures to you soon, most likely tomorrow or the next day. While what you have now is good, I think I could whip up something much better.
It's four textures, right? Bound and unbound for the two stones?
It would be nice if you could find them (Rarely) in dungeon/blacksmith chests. It would encourage people to do more adventuring if they don't want to find diamonds!
It would also be cool if they worked in item frames. ie. You place the linked stone in an item frame and, whenever you right click it, it warps you to the destination.

@tigertomd Nice idea, I'll add them to dungeon loot.
I'm working on a a block that allows you to add a stone to the block and then be able to right click the block. But item frames may also work... I'll have to see if you can hook into them...
Alright. I made two different variants of runic markings. I personally like the larger one since it's more visible and looks more like a chain, though I'd like your opinion for the final design. (The textures are 32x32 by the way.)

Just uploaded a new version. Loads of new stuff, including the textures by Roxforbraynz.

Playing around with it, I love the changes, especially the limited uses and recharging. And kudos on making it configurable! I like how balanced it is now. This mod has some great potential. This will definitely be a permanent addition to my modpacks. My players will no longer be asking me for teleports around the world.

@Roxforbraynz Thanks!
And for everyone else:
Just updated this mod to v0.4 to add player to player recalling. To make a stone capibile of this you will need to get some player essence and craft it with a recall stone. This method of teleportation is very expensive but like everything else can be reconfigured or even turned off if you wish.
I'm probably going to add/change the way of getting player essence so that people in worlds with pvp off can still get it.
Checking up on the mod and wow! That's a great new feature. Now this remedies my players asking for teleports to one another. Perhaps for the non-PvP player essence, you could add a config option of simply right-clicking a player entity to get the essence, or just clicking a player with an unbound recall stone in hand.
I'll also make a few new textures for the player essence and see if I can find something nice for the new stone.
You continue to amaze me, man. Keep up the great work.
Edit:
Finished up the textures for the new stuff. I used the base recall stone template and recolored it as you did, though I think this color is more mellow and less jarring. I don't mind if you keep the colors you selected, I understand, but I think it would look better overall. I also made a player essence texture that should work much better. As always, here's the preview:

Nice!
I'll change the textures in the next release.
I'm in the process of adding some blocks to the mod, one of which will be used for peaceful mode creation of player essence. I'll also add a menu for a creative mode player recall stone so that you can just create one without essence. I haven't come up with the full details yet, but I'll post here once I have a better idea of how it will work.
I'm glad I stumbled across this mod, I've wanted a limited teleportation mod and using the charges is a great way of doing it.
You haven't mentioned on the OP how you feel about Modpacks. I have a private one for my server and it would be awesome to use it, I won't hold it against you if you say no.

@iXenonGames, Cool video. Sounds and animation are definitely on the cards! As is a renaming mechanic (However the anvil works fine as well)
