wUtilities
by wSmoothie
wUtilities is a server-side administrative mod that lets server owners control which wWaypoints and sign and sneak features players can use.
What it does
The mod gives a server administrator control over features on the server, including the wWaypoints waypoint system and the upcoming wWorld Map mod. A server policy is sent to clients that connect, so an admin can disable the entire mod or restrict specific features. Only the server needs wUtilities, so players join without installing it.
Sneak behavior, sign editing and other input interactions can be adjusted from the server side. The mod can restore the vanilla sign editor and block non-vanilla input interaction changes. Restrictions for wWaypoints apply from version 0.8.0 onward. Fabric API is required, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 24 release versions, 1.20 – 26.3, under All rights reserved, with the source code publicly available.
Key features
Server-side configuration
Server owners set which wWaypoints and wWorld Map features are allowed, from one configuration on the server.
Sign editing control
The sign editor can be restored to vanilla behavior, and sign modifications from other mods can be limited.
Sneak and input restrictions
Sneak modifications and non-vanilla input interaction changes can be blocked on the server.

Use cases
Restricting a shared server
A server owner can keep waypoints or map features off on a shared world while leaving the rest of the game as it is.
Who it’s for: Server owners and administrators who want to decide which client-side features players may use on their server. Players on servers that run the mod do not need to install it.
How it compares
ZeroWaypoints is a client-side only Fabric mod for 1.16.5, under All rights reserved, and is not open source. Show map Id is a client-side only Fabric mod for 1.20.4 – 26.3, licensed under the MIT License and open source. Blank Signs is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21 – 26.3, so it covers a similar server-side area.
