Wayfinder's Bottle
by K1chu
Wayfinder's Bottle is a single-use NeoForge item that reveals a distant biome when right-clicked, adding a map-like pointer to exploration.
What it does
Holding and using the bottle consumes it: the glass vanishes from the inventory and the player receives a map toward a biome they have not visited yet. The destination is chosen from that unvisited pool, so each bottle points toward somewhere new rather than a place the player already knows.
The bottle is an uncraftable, rare item. It can be found through Cartographer trades, in loot chests, from fishing, and as a 5% drop from defeated Drowned. The mod adds its own structures and chests, and it uses NeoForge Global Loot Modifiers, which the author describes as keeping it from conflicting with other mods. Client and server both need it, and the mod is published only for 1.21.1 under the MIT License as open source.
