ExtraJourneys
by TizFacts
ExtraJourneys adds physical items and blocks for exploration, including a feather for long trips, a journal, a compass and trail markers.
What it does
Players who prefer travelling on foot over instant warps can use ExtraJourneys to mark important places and leave trails behind them. The items fit into vanilla survival gameplay and are meant to extend it rather than replace existing mechanics. Several items are described by the author as groundwork for travel and progression features in later updates, and the author states that the current set is still limited.
The mod is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 only, released under the MIT License and open source. Only the source code is publicly available. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it, and the first file was published on 2026-01-31, with the latest file, version 0.3.0, dated 2026-02-05 on the alpha channel. No dependencies are listed. Because the mod is still in active development, its balance and mechanics may change between versions.
Among the catalog's 4347 Adventure mods with Fabric files for 1.21.1, ExtraJourneys focuses on navigation and the record of past journeys rather than on teleportation or minimaps.
