DestinationDirection
by foxxey
DestinationDirection shows a yaw heading toward a typed X and Z coordinate, so a traveler can face the destination in a straight line.
What it does
Two text fields in the pause menu, one for the destination X coordinate and one for the Z coordinate, take the target position. Once both values are entered, the mod works out the direction from the current position to that spot and prints the yaw to face in a label at the bottom right. Turning until the yaw matches and walking forward gives the shortest route, since a straight line is the fastest way to any point.
The mod is aimed at travel across large worlds and at anarchy servers, where players often need to cover long distances without a map. It was written so that the trigonometry no longer has to be done by hand, and it appears in both single-player and multiplayer pause menus. It is a Fabric mod for 1.20.4 and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Use cases
Long-distance travel
A player crossing a large world enters a far-off coordinate and follows the yaw to reach it by the most direct line.
Anarchy servers
On servers without protection rules, players use the heading to move quickly between bases they have marked by coordinates.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who travel long distances on foot and want a heading instead of calculating angles themselves, in single-player or on a multiplayer server.
How it compares
Screenshot Waypoints is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Nether Portal Coords is also client-side on Fabric, is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.20.4 – 1.21.3. DestinationDirection, by contrast, is client-side only, is not open source and targets 1.20.4 only, so it is the choice when only a yaw heading is needed.
