Maksagin_Studio Waypoints
Maksagin Studio Waypoints gives players a waypoint system with markers, a real-time HUD arrow and a menu opened with the right Shift key.
What it does
Players create custom markers and navigate to them with a minimap arrow that updates in real time on the HUD. Waypoints are managed from an in-game menu that opens with the right Shift key, and the first marker is created there. The interface is a lightweight screen meant to stay out of the way during play.
The mod runs on the client alone, so only the player who installs it needs it and a server does not have to run it. It targets Minecraft 1.16.5 with the Fabric loader, version 0.14.0 or newer. Fabric API is recommended and is listed as required by the author, so install it alongside the mod. Waypoints is released under a custom license and is not open source.
Key features
Custom waypoints
Players place their own markers in the world and give each one a name for later navigation.
Minimap arrow
A HUD arrow points toward the selected waypoint and updates in real time as the player moves.
Waypoint menu
A menu opened with the right Shift key lists the markers and lets the player add, select or remove them.
Lightweight interface
The screen and HUD overlay are kept small, so the waypoint display does not crowd the game view.

Who it’s for: Players on Minecraft 1.16.5 with Fabric who want markers and a directional HUD arrow in single-player or on a client joining a server.
How it compares
Waylite is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.9 – 26.3 with the same client-side environment, released under All rights reserved and not open source. Cookies Waypoints is a Fabric client mod for 26.1 – 26.1.2, also under All rights reserved and not open source. Waypoints targets the older 1.16.5 release only, so the two differ mainly in the version they cover.
