A lightweight survival-friendly teleport mechanic built around Armour Stand and a Compass. StandSwap allows players to bind a special compass to an Armour Stand and instantly swap places with it. This creates a strategic teleport anchor that players can use to return to hidden bases, escape danger or plan clever traps.
