✨ Features
| Feature | Description | |:--|:--| | 📍 Place Waypoints | Create and remove waypoints at no cost. | | 👤 Personal Waypoints | Keep track of your own destinations. | | 🌍 Global Waypoints | Share destinations across the world. | | 🏷️ Waypoint Colors | Give each waypoint its own color. | | 🌀 Cross-Dimensional Travel | Use the system across all dimensions. | | 🏷️ Custom Names | Rename waypoints with a name tag. | | ⚙️ Simple Settings | Customize the experience through the settings menu. | | ⚡ Fast Travel | Travel between destinations with an intuitive animation system. | | 🤝 Multiplayer Support | Designed to work in both singleplayer and multiplayer. |
Animation Notes:
- The animation only occurs when you and the target waypoint have clear access to the sky.
- If the target waypoint is over 60 blocks away, the travel animation will be instantaneous, though you will still see the up-and-down animation.
How to use
Use the command /trigger waypoint to open the waypoint menu. This menu will show all the existing waypoints in the world (up to 20 max). Clicking on the Place Waypoint button will create a new waypoint at your location (fixed at the center of the block the player is standing on). This waypoint has no name and will be displayed as 'Unnamed Waypoint'. You can rename any waypoint with a name tag. Clicking the Remove Waypoint button removes the closest waypoint within a 5-block radius.
