Waypoints

Imagine this scenario: you've embarked on a long journey through the Minecraft world and now can't find your way back to your base. Conventional warp plugins would simply teleport you home, but that breaks the survival atmosphere. Waypoints offers a completely different approach!

Navigation Without Teleportation

Instead of instant transportation, this plugin shows you the direction you need to move to reach your destination. You can explore the world while following various indicators that help you stay on track.

Variety of Pointers

The plugin offers several types of navigation assistants:

• Bossbar - compass at the top of the screen with direction highlighting
• Beacon Beam - appears in render distance when you approach the destination
• Particle Trail - system creates an optimal route and displays it with particles
• Hologram - floating text like in mods
• Blinking Block - when close, beacon is replaced with blinking block sequence
• Compass - regular compass targets the waypoint
• Actionbar Indicator - shows direction without needing a compass
• Foot Particles - particles at feet indicate movement direction

Player Tracking

The disabled-by-default tracking feature allows following other players. You can select any server member in the menu, and the system will guide you to them using compass, indicators, and particles.

• Players can hide their location from others
• Tracking requires permission from the target player
• Tracked player receives notification about who's tracking them

Multilingual Support

The plugin includes translations for English, German, Italian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and partially Brazilian Portuguese. If your language isn't listed, you can add your own translation.

Additional Features

• Open interface by sneaking and right-clicking with compass
• Customize waypoint and folder icons using items in hand
• Limit number of waypoints and folders per player
• Customizable teleport costs with Vault support
• Full customization of all interface elements
• SQLite data storage

Map Integrations

Public waypoints are automatically added to server maps including Dynmap, SquareMap, BlueMap, and Pl3xMap.
