Central Waypoints
by potatotyper
Central Waypoints is a Fabric server-side mod that lets players save named waypoints shared by everyone on the server.
What it does
A single action lets a player record their present location and dimension as a waypoint visible to everyone. Saved waypoints are visible to every player, who can list them, view full details such as coordinates, dimension, creator and timestamp, rename them or remove them.
A compass item can be requested to point toward a chosen waypoint. While holding it, the player receives live coordinate feedback in the actionbar. Because the mod runs only on the server, players join without installing anything, and the shared waypoints work across Fabric servers running Minecraft 26.1.2.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Its only published build is version 1.0.0 for 26.1.2, dated 2026-04-17, the same day it was first published and last updated.
