Ping to Map: JourneyMap
Pop a temporary JourneyMap waypoint when a teammate (or yourself) pings a location with Ping-Wheel. Auto-disappears after a short time. Perfect for team coop.
About this Mod
Ping to Map
Drops a temporary JourneyMap waypoint the instant someone pings a spot with Ping-Wheel.
You ping "come here" with Ping-Wheel, but it never shows on the map, so on big builds people still can't find the spot. This addon puts a waypoint there the moment a ping happens, and by default it disappears together with the Ping-Wheel ping so the map stays tidy.
Features
- A temporary JourneyMap waypoint on every ping, in cyan or the pinger's team colour
- By default the waypoint expires in sync with the Ping-Wheel ping — they vanish together (or set a fixed 1–600 s, or make it permanent)
- Made for co-op — rally points, "enemy spotted", "mine here" become visible at a glance
- No items or blocks; it never interrupts Ping-Wheel's own behaviour, and won't crash if JourneyMap is absent
Config (config/pingtomap-client.toml, or the Mod Config GUI)
