Player Places
by XenraO
Player Places adds a way for players to mark their own spots in a world and share them, so others can find and visit them.
What it does
Players can register a location such as a shop, a base or a landmark and add it to a shared list, so others can find it and travel there. Over time a world builds up a set of player-made places that can be explored together.
Server owners get an admin panel for operators and moderators, so places can be managed in-game without editing files. Settings are adjustable through a GUI or a settings file stored in the world save, and the places list lives in playerplaces/places.json, which can be reloaded after manual edits.
The mod is Forge only, built for 1.20.1, and it runs on both client and server. Files are in the beta channel, with the latest at 1.0.0. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
