About this Mod


Wayfarer implements a waypoint rendering system and aims to improve the locator bar, all in a way that can be utilized by other developers in their projects!
Client-side, the mod handles waypoint rendering in-world and on the locator bar. There are many customization options to tweak waypoint visuals.
Server-side, the mod handles server-to-client waypoint data and synchronization to tell the client what to render. Not all projects need this, client-side mods can just utilize the waypoint renderer directly!

That's alright; Wayfarer is still useful on its own! Its standalone features include:
Improved Locator Bar
- Wayfarer adds a hold keybind to manually toggle the locator bar.
- In survival, locator bar icons render over the experience bar instead of replacing it with the locator bar, so you can still see your experience!
- Head icons are shown for players on the locator bar.
- Instead of icons getting smaller as they get far away, they become more translucent.
