What it is good at
- Random safe teleport locations
- Per-world and region configuration
- Cooldowns, permissions and hooks into common protection plugins
What types of servers should consider it?
- Survival/SMP exploration
- Servers that want to spread new players across a world
Pricing and distribution
The plugin is distributed as a free option. Check the official page for the current download source and license.
What to check before using it
- Random teleporting into unexplored terrain can trigger chunk generation. Pair it with sensible borders or pre-generation on busy servers.
Also check the plugin's current dependency list, migration notes and supported server versions on the official page before changing a production server.
Practical deployment check: Random teleports can send players into protected worlds, unsafe terrain or expensive new chunks unless you set world and region restrictions. Review cooldowns to limit chunk-generation bursts.
Common questions
What does BetterRTP do?
Random teleportation with world, biome and safety controls.
Is BetterRTP a plugin or a mod?
BetterRTP is listed here because it is used as a server plugin in its supported plugin environment. Some projects also publish builds for other platforms; use the official download page to choose the correct platform build.
Do players need to install it?
Most server plugins run server-side and do not require players to install the same JAR. Features that rely on resource packs, Bedrock bridges or optional client integrations can still change what the player must download or accept.
How do I install it?
Install BetterRTP on a supported Bukkit/Paper-family server, configure the worlds and search area, and explicitly check any claim/protection hooks listed for your build.
How do I know the plugin loaded?
Teleport a test account repeatedly in the intended world; ensure destinations are safe, outside protected areas where required, and subject to the configured cooldown.
What if it does not load?
If teleport searches stall, check world borders, biome filters, minimum-distance rules and the availability of safe locations. Do not simply increase attempts without checking generation cost.
