Pathfinder
by IamJannik
With Pathfinder, players can share waypoints with friends in real time, without any server-side support.
What it does
Pathfinder is a Fabric management mod for Minecraft 1.20.2. Its main purpose is to share waypoints between players in real time. Creating waypoints is faster than in the vanilla workflow, and the mod works on a client alone, without a server running it.
Players can form a group, so only its members see the shared markers. Pathfinder is client required and server optional: players need the mod installed, while a server may add it for extra features. The source code, issue tracker and wiki are public, and the code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
Key features
Real-time waypoint sharing
Waypoints are shared with friends as they are set, so a group can follow the same markers during a session.
Faster waypoint creation
A sneak and middle mouse button combination creates a waypoint quickly, without opening a menu.
Groups
Players can create their own group and share waypoints only with its members.
Optional server support
A server can run Pathfinder to add extra features, but players can share waypoints without it.
