PlayerWaypoints

by Feintha

PlayerWaypoints is a server-side Fabric mod that adds custom waypoints to the game for 1.21.7.

FabricServer required, client optionalCustom license1.21.7

What it does

Waypoints are created per world or attached to a single player, and they are built on Polymer's Virtual-Entity API. Each waypoint is identified by a WaypointElement, a ServerWorld and an Identifier. Holograms appear directly above a waypoint by default, and the author recommends building them separately. Server owners can use getHologramElementPosition to change where a hologram sits, and the author labels the feature as experimental. It is required on the server and optional for players. Polymer is needed for the virtual entities. The mod is released under a custom license, and the source code is publicly available.

Key features

  1. Custom waypoints

    Waypoints are added as custom entries, so players can see them without any client changes.

  2. Per-world and per-player waypoints

    Waypoints can be created for a whole world or attached to an individual player, like other virtual entities.

  3. Hologram positioning

    A hologram sits above each waypoint by default, and getHologramElementPosition or setOffset can change its position.
