PinPoint
by MyDoomH
With PinPoint installed, typing setwaypoint in the chat creates a waypoint in Xaero's Minimap without leaving the game.
What it does
PinPoint adds a setwaypoint command that runs from the in-game chat and creates waypoints for Xaero's Minimap, all on the client. Running the command creates a waypoint in Xaero's Minimap at the coordinates given, and the new waypoint is marked red and named Waypoint with a W symbol. The camera turns to face the new waypoint once it is created. Waypoint names and the W symbol can be changed through the mod's language files.
Coordinates sent in chat are read automatically. PinPoint scans incoming and outgoing messages, recognizes coordinates written in several formats, and suggests them when setwaypoint is typed and Tab is pressed. The suggestion shows the full coordinate set, which makes it simpler to add a waypoint for a location another player has shared. The mod needs Xaero's Minimap as a required dependency, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.21.11 and the environment set to client-side only. PinPoint is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.

How it compares
Waypoint Stone is a Fabric-only mod for 1.21, with a client and server environment, and is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which makes it open source. Auto Portal Waypoints targets 1.21.1 – 26.2 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge with the same client-side environment as PinPoint, and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Xaero's Minimap and Waystones Compatibility is client-side only and runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.21 – 1.21.10, but it is not open source.

PinPoint is a lightweight client-side mod that adds a convenient /setwaypoint command for creating waypoints in Xaero's Minimap directly from in-game chat. It automatically detects coordinates in chat messages and suggests them as you type! This creates a waypoint at X=100, Y=64, Z=200.
