BetterWaystonesMenu
by Loxoz
BetterWaystonesMenu replaces the selection menu of the Waystones mod with a more capable screen for picking a destination.
What it does
The add-on reworks the menu players open to choose a waystone. It brings back the previous interface layout as an option, adds a scroll bar for long lists, and includes a search box that can be cleared with a right click. Sorting modes change how the entries are ordered, and holding CTRL while hovering a waystone button shows extra details about that waypoint.
Waystones can be reordered by dragging and dropping entries, which is a workaround for the fixed ordering in the base mod. The author describes the goal as full parity with the old menu while improving accessibility. The project is an add-on for Waystones and depends on Balm and Waystones, so both must be installed alongside it.
The mod runs only on the client, so a server does not need to install it and players can join a server without it. Files are published for Forge and 1.18.2 only, with 1.2.0+mc1.18.2 as the latest file from 2023-08-10. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code and an issue tracker public.
Key features
Scrollable waystone list
A scroll bar lets the menu show long lists of waystones without cramping the entries.
Clearable search box
The search field can be emptied with a right click, so a new query is quick to start.
Sorting modes
Several sorting modes change how the waystone entries are arranged in the menu.
Extra waystone details
Holding CTRL while hovering a waystone button reveals additional information about that waystone.
Drag and drop reordering
Waystones can be swapped by dragging one entry onto another, working around a limit in the base mod.
Classic interface option
The earlier menu layout can be switched back on, keeping full parity with the old screen.
