Description
📍 Simple Waypoints
Never get lost again! Simple Waypoints is a lightweight mod for Luanti that lets you save your favorite locations, track them with clean on-screen markers, and teleport back to them whenever you want.
Best of all, it is 100% multiplayer-ready. Every single player gets their own private list, meaning your secret bases stay completely safe and hidden from everyone else on a server or LAN world!
🎮 How It Works
You can manage your private spots using whichever method you find most convenient:
🎒 1. The Inventory Screen (GUI)
Simply press your inventory key (I) and click on the new Waypoints tab at the top of your screen.
- View: See a clean list of every single spot you have saved.
- Add & Rename: Easily click buttons to create a new waypoint or change the name of an old one.
- Teleport: Highlight a location from your list and hit the Teleport button to fly straight there!
💡 Quick Tip: You can also type /wf in chat to fast-open your inventory straight to the Waypoints page!
💬 2. Quick Chat Commands
If you are running around the world and want to use the chat window instead, just pop it open and use these quick commands:
/wc <name> — Create a new waypoint right where you are standing./wd <name> — Delete a waypoint you don't need anymore./wl — List all your saved locations and their exact coordinates right in your chat window./wt <name> — Warp/Teleport instantly to that location.
🔒 Privileges & Rules
- A player must have the
"teleport" privilege in order to use the /wt command.
🛠️ Requirements & Installation
Requirements:
- Luanti 5.9.0 or newer.
- Works automatically with games using the standard inventory layout (
sfinv).
Installation:
- Download and extract the
.zip file.
- Place the extracted folder into your game's
mods folder (rename the folder to simple_waypoints if needed).
- Enable the mod in your world settings, and you are ready to explore!

Version 2.0 🚀 (The Friends & Inventory Update)
Release Logs: Version 2.0 🚀 (The Friends & Inventory Update)
🛑 Out with the Old!
- Goodbye Beacons: The physical colored beacon blocks have been completely removed from the game due to unpopularity. The HUD provides everything you need.
- New Game Engine Needed: This mod now requires Luanti 5.9.0 or newer to run.
👥 Perfect for Playing with Friends (LAN & Internet)
- Secret, Private Waypoints: Before this update, everyone on a server shared the exact same waypoint list, meaning a friend could accidentally delete your home marker! Now, all waypoints are strictly private. Your friends can’t see, warp to, or mess with your saved spots.
🎒 Awesome New Inventory Screen!
- Built Right In: You no longer have to type a chat command just to see your locations. The mod now adds a shiny new Waypoints tab right inside your standard inventory screen (when you press I)!
- Instant Magic Refresh: If you do use the chat command
/wc to quick-save a spot while running around, your inventory menu updates immediately in the background. The next time you open your inventory, your new waypoint is already waiting for you.
