HexMapping
by TechTastic
HexMapping is a Hexcasting addon that lets casters place markers on web map mods and plugins through spell patterns.
What it does
Players who cast spells with Hex Casting can use HexMapping to write map markers from inside the game. Markers come in four shapes, circle, rectangle, polygon and polyline, and an icon marker covers points of interest. Two new iotas, a map marker and a list of available markers, carry marker data between spells, and the addon adds several new patterns for working with them.
The addon connects to web map mods and plugins, including BlueMap, Dynmap, Pl3xMap and squaremap, and works with the integrated map mods on the list. Hexical is supported as well, with an interop for the Mesh Entity Dye iota. Architectury API, Hex Casting, Kotlin for Forge and MoreIotas are required, and the mod is released under the MIT License as open source. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge and Quilt on 1.20.1.
Key features
Circle and rectangle markers
Spells place circle and rectangle markers on the map at the chosen position and size.
Polygon and polyline markers
Polygon areas and connected lines can be drawn as map markers from a spell.
Icon markers
An icon marker places a symbol on the map for points of interest that a shape does not describe well.
Marker listing
A list iota gathers the markers available to the caster, so a spell can read or choose among them.

Pointless Machine is a Fabric-only client and server mod under the MIT License for 1.20.1.
