Wayfindr
by caley.w
Wayfindr lets players add waypoints to the game world, so places of interest can be marked and found again later.
What it does
Waypoints are placed in the game world and listed in a manager screen, where they can be renamed, shown or hidden, and selected as a navigation target. A selected waypoint is followed on screen, which helps when returning to a base after a long trip. An optional waypoint can be set at the place of each death, so a lost inventory is easier to find.
The mod is built for single-player worlds and multiplayer servers. Waypoints can be shared between players on a server, so a group can mark a common camp or base. Fabric Language Kotlin is required and must be installed alongside Wayfindr. Builds target 1.21.4 – 1.21.5, and the latest file is 1.4.0 for 1.21.5. Client and server run it, so both sides need the mod. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with source code published.
Key features
Waypoint manager
A manager screen lists every waypoint so players can create, edit and remove them in one place.
Quick placement
Default keys add a waypoint at the crosshair location, which makes marking a spot quick.
Navigation to a selected waypoint
Choosing a waypoint sets it as the target, and the route to it is shown on screen.
Show and hide
Individual waypoints can be toggled on or off without being deleted, which keeps the display uncluttered.
Death waypoint
An optional setting creates a waypoint where the player died, to help recover dropped items.
Shared server waypoints
Waypoints can be shared between players on a server, so a group keeps one set of marked locations.

How it compares
Velopin is a client-side only Fabric mod for 1.21.11, released under the MIT License and not open source. Waydot is also client-side only on Fabric for 1.21.11, under a custom license and not open source. Crimson WaySync runs on client and server with Fabric for 1.21.4 and is open source under the MIT License, so it covers the same server setup as Wayfindr.
