Compass Plus Waypoints
by danield1993
Compass Plus Waypoints adds a compass heads-up display that shows saved waypoints for navigation, and lets players create their own.
What it does
A compass bar appears on the heads-up display and marks each waypoint a player has saved, so the direction to a point of interest stays visible while travelling. Waypoints are created in the game with commands, and the compass keeps them in view without needing a separate map screen. The HUD is lightweight, and the mod is client-side only: a player installs it alone and a server does not need it. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1, with 1.0.3 as the latest file from 2026-08-09, under the MIT License; the code is not open source.

How it compares
Command Waypoints is server-side only, under All rights reserved and not open source, and targets NeoForge 1.21.1, so it runs on a server without any client install. Plain Waypoint is also client-side only under the MIT License, but targets 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 instead of a single version.
