Route Helper
by blix14137
Route Helper lets a player save a set of numbered waypoints relative to their own position and facing, then load that route again in another place.
What it does
Route Helper runs only on the client, as a Fabric mod built for game version 1.21.11. A player sets an anchor where a route starts, adds numbered waypoints as the route goes on, and saves it. Later the same route can be loaded from a different location, with its points placed relative to the current position and facing direction. The mod lists saved routes and can skip or unskip waypoints, load, save or delete routes. Routes are stored locally, and generic JSON exports are written as well.
Waypoints are drawn in the world as boxes with labels, a distance readout and a tracer line toward the targeted waypoint. The author describes the mod for skyblock and for finding things in grottos, and for repeatable mining routes such as jasper runs. Route Helper needs Fabric Loader 0.18.2 or later, Fabric API and Java 21 or later. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Relative waypoints
Waypoints are placed relative to the player's position and facing direction, so a saved route can be reused elsewhere.
World markers
Each waypoint appears as a box with a label, a distance readout and a tracer line toward the targeted point.
Route list controls
Routes can be listed, loaded, saved, deleted, and their individual waypoints skipped or unskipped.
Local route storage
Routes are kept on the player's own machine, with generic JSON exports written alongside them.
