Xaero Custom Waypoint Colors
by loooosh98
With Xaero's Minimap waypoints, a player can pick any RGB color for a waypoint instead of the preset list, and the choice is kept in the waypoint creation menu.
What it does
Xaero Custom Waypoint Colors adds a Custom entry to the color dropdown in the waypoint creation menu of Xaero's Minimap. Choosing it opens a color picker that accepts any RGB value, and a hex code can be pasted into the matching box. Once a color is confirmed with OK, it is stored and returned to the creation menu, where it can still be adjusted before the waypoint is created as usual.
The mod needs Fabric API and Xaero's Minimap, and it works with Mod Menu. Xaero's World Map is optional: with it installed, the custom-colored waypoints appear on the map in-game. A waypoint shared through chat keeps its custom color only when the recipient also has the mod installed. Otherwise it falls back to one of the preset colors.
Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy. Xaero Custom Waypoint Colors is released under the MIT License, is open source, and is published for Fabric, with 5 release versions covering 1.20.1 – 26.3. Its latest Fabric file, 1.0.7-1.20.1 for 1.20.1, dates from 2026-10-15.
