SVWaypoint
SVWaypoint lets a server place persistent 3D waypoints in the world, each with a custom icon, and players see them through a clean in-game HUD.
What it does
Waypoints are stored as a custom lightweight waypoint entity rather than as armor stands, which the author describes as a choice for better performance and cleaner rendering. Each waypoint keeps its name, position, color, font, visibility and icon, and the data is saved with the world so markers persist between sessions. The system is server-side aware, so multiplayer servers can run it for event, minigame, survival, roleplay and stream projects.
The mod is licensed under All rights reserved and is not open source. It is published for Forge only, on Minecraft 1.20.1, with 1.0.1 as the latest Forge file. Both the server and every player need it, so the environment is client and server. Among the 7738 Adventure mods with Forge files for 1.20.1, it sits in the Adventure category with a Utility secondary tag.
Server owners get a generated server config, a runtime reload command that refreshes waypoint data and entities, and debug counts of saved and active waypoints. Waypoint labels can show a distance, and icons can be an item, a Unicode symbol or both, with the mod keeping one of the two from rendering at the same time. Custom Unicode characters and textures are supported through Minecraft font providers, so resource packs can supply their own icons, and a missing font falls back safely.

Unlike older waypoint systems, SVWaypoint does not use Armor Stands. Instead, it uses a custom lightweight waypoint entity designed for better performance, cleaner rendering, and better multiplayer support.
