[SWG] Simple Waystones Groups
by esteemleon
[SWG] Simple Waystones Groups is an unofficial Fabric addon for Waystones that lets admins define server groups for waystones and filter which ones a player sees.
What it does
Admins define server groups that every player on the server sees with the same names, and players cannot rename or restyle them. Waystones placed in a group stay in the sequence the admin set for them. A server group is drawn in bold in the waystone menu, in the colour the group has been given, and its own icon colour can be set with a command. Players reach the menu with a single button on the right of the waystone screen, and a slot beside it shows which group is active.
Players also get personal groups that belong to them alone. They are created, edited and reordered in their own screens, with a separate picker and storage from the server groups, so a personal group never takes a slot in the server group bar. Group selection is shown in two columns and includes a search field. Admin commands require operator level 2 and cover creating, renaming, deleting, adding and removing waystones, listing, clearing and colouring groups. The addon also remembers the last selected group for each world or server.
The addon is required to run Waystones and Balm, Fabric API and Shogi are required too. Files are published for Fabric only, and the code is licensed under the MIT License, so it is not open source in the sense of a project with public contributions.
Key features
Server groups for admins
Admins create server groups that all players share, and players see them in the same order with the same names.
Visibility filter
A filter chooses which waystones show as visible: everyone, only activated ones, or one of the other kinds, with the setting remembered per group.
Personal groups
Each player can create, edit and reorder their own groups, kept apart from the server groups.
Group colours and icons
Groups are drawn in bold in their chosen colour, and each group can have its own icon colour set by a command.

What the author says
Welcome to [SWG] Simple Waystones Groups! What changed: When this addon was first written, Waystones had no groups at all, so SWG brought its own: group screens, its own picker, its own storage. Waystones 26.3 then grew a group system of its own, and a good one. Running a second system next to it would have given you…
