Auto Portal Waypoints
by 101929ha
Auto Portal Waypoints places a JourneyMap waypoint at the exit of each Nether portal a player travels through, so the way back stays marked.
What it does
When a player comes out of a Nether portal, the mod adds a JourneyMap waypoint at the exit point automatically. Players who go far into the Nether and lose track of where they came from can use those markers to find the way back to the portal. Waypoints remain on the map wherever the player ends up.
Auto Portal Waypoints is client-side only, so servers run without it and players install it alone. It requires Fabric API on Fabric, Forge Config API Port on Forge and NeoForge, and JourneyMap on every loader. The mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source.
Key features
Automatic exit waypoints
A JourneyMap waypoint is created at each Nether portal exit without any command or manual step.
Return routes in the Nether
Markers at portal exits help players retrace a path after wandering far from the portal.
Per-dimension disabling
The mod can be turned off for specific dimensions, and the author notes that dimensions added by other mods can be excluded through the issue tracker.
