Bug:
I just randomly get teleported to 0,0,0 , but with the fact that evrything blacks out like I would be at coords -inf,0,0.
I don't know if this is the same bug but on one server where you get teleported to the otehr side of the world when reaching close to a border, I get teleported to the other side even if I am far away from the world's end. Also I noticed, that my debug.txt fills in much slower that my game runs. Also the bug isn't reproduceable becasue of the fact that it activates randomly and seemingly only for me. The bug is probably caused by travelnet, because on the Illuna Minetset servers if you execute a travelnet teleport you get a chat message, the same message appears when the tp bug occurs.

Your linked errormsg just shows a servercrash that was caused by a another mod. Btw, that bug was fixed a long time ago and has nothing to do with your 'TP Bug'

Now actual information about LRV's 'TP Bug':

LRV can obviously not read errormsg out of logs, so his documentations and interpretations about it are mostly useless IMO; only his observations may be correct
the 'bug' is only caused by LRV and crashes a server
the 'bug' can't be replicated
out of my observations, this occurs on servers without anticheat enabled and with areas mod enabled

I think that this is an actual errormsg of a server crashing because of LRV's 'TP Bug':

This has in absolutely no way anything to do with Minetest itself or the servers you connect to. If this would be the case others would have this issues as well. Since no-one has it is your issue only.

1. Use the official Minetest client and not something else downloaded from another site than minetest.net.
2. Do not use any weird client-side mods.

The error message is very old and crashes lots of servers randomly (the server admins just don't properly check their logs sometimes).

A fix seems to be to make sure that the player position is WITHIN the normal range (>= -31000 and <= 31000 for example) else cancel the current function... I applied that check to all mods and did never encounter this problem again since
