LiteWaypoints
A lightweight, client-side waypoint mod for Fabric. Mark any location with a colored beam that shoots into the sky, so you can always find your way back.
Built as a lean alternative to launcher-bundled waypoint features — it does one thing and stays out of your way.
Features
- Sky beams — each waypoint projects a beam you can see from far away, even through walls
- On-screen labels — name and live distance in meters
- Full color picker — hue / saturation / brightness sliders plus hex input
- Create & edit — set the name, exact coordinates, and color; edit any waypoint later
- Per-world & per-dimension — waypoints only show in the world and dimension where you made them (no Nether markers bleeding into the Overworld)
- Client-side — nothing is sent to the server; works on any server you join
