Ping to Map: Xaero's Minimap
by KURONAMI
With Ping to Map, a player who drops a Ping Wheel marker sees it appear as a temporary Xaero's Minimap waypoint on the map for teammates.
What it does
The addon links Ping Wheel to Xaero's Minimap. When a teammate sends a ping, the client creates a waypoint locally at that spot, so the marker reaches the minimap without any server-side component. Waypoints from pings expire on a timer, and the default expiry is set to disappear together with the ping itself. A ping clicked on the map opens an edit screen where the player can rename the waypoint or make it permanent.
The addon is a companion for players who use Xaero's Minimap and Xaero's World Map and want pinged locations kept off the map once they are no longer needed. The prompt edit screen closes after 30 seconds if the player does nothing, and the expiry time can be set anywhere from 1 to 600 seconds. Installation requires Fabric API on Fabric, Forge Config API Port on Forge and NeoForge, and Ping Wheel on every loader. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 26.2 for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with the latest files for 26.2 on Fabric and NeoForge and 1.21.1 on Forge, all released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Temporary pinged waypoints
Each teammate ping becomes a waypoint on the minimap that is removed automatically after its timer runs out.
Edit screen on click
Clicking a pinged waypoint on the map opens a prompt edit screen that closes on its own after 30 seconds.
Adjustable expiry
The timer for pinged waypoints can be set between 1 and 600 seconds, and the default matches the ping's own lifetime.
Make permanent
A pinged waypoint can be converted into a permanent one from its edit screen if the location still matters.

What the author says
Drops a temporary Xaero's Minimap waypoint the instant a teammate (or you) pings a spot with Ping Wheel — no prompt, no edit screen, and by default it disappears together with the ping. You ping "come here" with Ping Wheel, but it never shows on the map, so on big builds people still can't find the spot. This addon…
