way2wayfabric
by lack
With way2wayfabric installed, every waystone a player discovers is added as a waypoint in Xaero's Minimap, so the waystone network shows on the map without manual marking.
What it does
The mod is a bridge between two other mods. Xaero's Minimap has no official API, and the Waystones mod does not integrate with it automatically. way2wayfabric fills that gap by creating a minimap waypoint for each waystone the player has found. No configuration is needed: once installed, the waypoints appear by themselves.
Waypoints go into the waypoint set that is active when a waystone is discovered. Players who keep several waypoint sets can therefore choose where new points land, and waypoints can later be moved to another set. If an auto-generated waypoint is deleted by accident, all of them come back in the current set after the player disconnects and reconnects. The mod supports both Waystones and Wraith Waystones at once, giving each mod's waypoints a distinct minimap symbol. way2wayfabric is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric only, across 10 game versions, 1.19 – 1.20.4, with Fabric Language Kotlin required.

Use cases
Players with a waystone network
Players who travel between many waystones can see all discovered points on the minimap instead of tracking them by hand.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who use Xaero's Minimap alongside the Waystones or Wraith Waystones mod, and who want those waystones shown on the map.
How it compares
Xaero's Server Sync requires Fabric for 1.20.4 – 1.20.6 and is a client and server mod under the CC0 1.0 Universal license. Xaero Map Addition is a client-side only Fabric mod for 1.14.4 – 1.19 under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. way2wayfabric covers a different job: it runs on the client alone, supports 1.19 – 1.20.4, and is open source under the MIT License.

What the author says
Since Xaero's Minimap doesn't have an official API, it's unlikely that the Waystones mod will support automatic integration; so how do we get automatic waypoints in Xaero's Minimap? Via a bridge mod like this one. There are others for Forge (w2w and waymaker), but none for Fabric, which is why I threw this together…
