Attuned Anchors
by Mach9Studio
Players who want waypoints without a map screen can use Attuned Anchors, which lets them raise shrines in the world and open them from a menu.
What it does
In place of marking points on a map, players raise an Anchor structure out in the world and then activate it. Each Anchor is a five by five footprint built up one layer at a time around a centered core block. Once a structure is valid and has a registered candle, it appears to every player who holds access. Anchors are stored per world, and the mod writes its own config files.
The mod sorts its waypoints into two kinds that reach different distances. Local Anchors are short-range markers that show by default up to 256 meters away, while Global Anchors remain available anywhere in the same dimension and use glowing item frames by default. A heads-up display draws waypoint markers with their distance.
The mod is published for Fabric only, as a single jar that is installed on both the client and the server, and it needs Fabric API. Files exist for 26.1.2 and 26.2, with 0.3.3 for 26.2 as the latest build on the beta channel. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Local and Global Anchors
Two Anchor types split waypoints into short-range markers and long-range markers that remain visible across the dimension.
Waypoint menu
Pressing N opens a menu where players view available Anchors, toggle HUD visibility, edit marker appearance and manage Anchors they control.
Admin teleport
An admin teleport button gives fast travel between Anchors, and deleting an Anchor asks for confirmation to prevent accidental removal.
Name tag access control
Who can use an Anchor is set by name tags placed inside its barrels, so ownership follows the tags rather than the builder alone.
Layer-by-layer construction
A guide walks builders through each layer of the five by five Anchor structure, from the centered core outward.

How it compares
Waypoint Manager is server-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for 26.1.2. Better Respawn Anchors runs on client and server, is released under All rights reserved and is also for 26.1.2, so it is not open source. Attuned Anchors needs both sides and covers 26.1.2 and 26.2 under the MIT License, without being open source.

What the author says
Attuned Anchors adds buildable waypoint shrines to Minecraft. Instead of placing waypoints from a map screen, players build an Anchor structure in the world, activate it, and then use it through an in-game waypoint menu and HUD.
