Waypoint Beacon

Waypoint Beacon - Your map knows. Your eyes can too.

Waypoints aren't just flat icons anymore - They jump off the map and into the real world!

This mod brings your map into the real world by projecting glowing 3D beacons wherever you place a waypoint - visible across the landscape.

<span style="color: #e74c3c;">Waypoint Beacon 2.0.0 Released!</span>

<span style="color: #000000;">This is a major update focused on making waypoint and beacon management faster, easier, and more tightly integrated with the Vintage Story World Map.</span>
