wWaypoints
by wSmoothie
Players who mark locations in a world can use wWaypoints, a client-side mod that lets them place multi-block waypoints with custom icons.
What it does
Waypoints are set from the client and shown on screen, so the mod is installed by players alone and needs no server-side part. wWaypoints requires Fabric API and can use Mod Menu for its settings screen. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with 24 release versions in the range 1.20 – 26.3, and all rights are reserved, so the code is not open source.
Beyond the basic markers, the mod adds a toggle sneak improvement and a sign-style popup that can be switched on or off. Its folder system keeps large sets of waypoints tidy. Files cover 1.20 – 26.3, and the latest Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt builds are all 0.8.1, published 2026-10-05.
Key features
Multi-block waypoints
A single waypoint can mark a group of blocks instead of one position, which helps when marking a structure.
Customizable icons
Each waypoint can use its own icon, so players can tell different locations apart at a glance.
Clean folder menus
Waypoints are grouped into folders in the menus, keeping large lists organized.
Sneak toggle option
The toggle sneak improvement changes how sneaking is handled, and it can be turned on or off in the settings.
Sign popup
A toggleable sign-style GUI popup appears for waypoint entry, and it can be hidden when not needed.

Use cases
Trapping and mapping
Players who build traps or mark block locations can highlight those blocks and return to them later.
Large worlds
Players with many saved locations can group them into folders instead of scrolling one long list.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who keep many saved locations in a single-player world or on a multiplayer client. Since only the client needs it, server owners do not have to install anything.
How it compares
ZeroWaypoints is a Fabric-only client mod for 1.16.5, under All rights reserved and not open source. Xaero Custom Waypoint Colors is Fabric-only for 1.20.1 – 26.3, client-side only, and is open source under the MIT License. Better Waypoints runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.20.2 – 26.3, but the server is required and the client is optional, so it works differently from wWaypoints.
