Wayfarer's Star
by mitsuha
Wayfarer's Star adds a wearable Wander Beacon that lets players save waypoints and teleport between them across dimensions, for Forge 1.20.1.
What it does
Players save, edit and delete personal waypoints through the wearable beacon, then teleport to any of them, including waypoints in other dimensions. Teleport requests can also be sent from one player to another, which helps groups meet up on a server.
The mod works as an exploration aid for modpacks. It can search for registered structures and display their approximate coordinates, and it supports random travel to structure locations. A dimension has to be opened first before its structures can be located or entered, which keeps exploration progression in place. Structure names use in-game translations where they exist and fall back to registry names otherwise.
The beacon depends on Curios API, which must be installed alongside the mod. Wayfarer's Star is client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Its files target Forge 1.20.1 only.
Key features

An item worn as a Curios accessory that holds personal waypoints and provides the teleport actions.

Use cases
Modpack exploration
Players in large packs use structure search and dimensions opened along the way to find locations spread across many worlds.
Group travel
Teleport requests let players on a server join one another without walking across the map.
Who it’s for: Players of Forge 1.20.1 modpacks who want waypoints, structure search and cross-dimension travel, and server owners who want to set XP costs for structure teleportation.
How it compares
ItzzzTPa covers Forge 1.20.1 – 1.20.2 under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so it reaches a wider version range than Wayfarer's Star. XPTP: Teleport using experience is also client and server, and under the MIT License, and uses experience as its teleport cost rather than a structure search. Magic Mirrors is client and server under All rights reserved.
