A lightweight waypoint system for creating and managing personal and global waypoints with compass integration, map markers, and instant teleportation.
Never get lost in Hytale again with Simple Waypoints, a lightweight navigation plugin that puts powerful waypoint management at your fingertips.
What Does This Mod Do?
Simple Waypoints lets you mark important locations and return to them instantly. Create personal waypoints only you can see, or global waypoints visible to all players on the server. Every waypoint appears as a marker on both your compass and world map, making navigation intuitive.
The mod features persistent storage, so your waypoints survive server restarts. Right-click any marker for quick access to teleportation or removal options.
Key Features
Personal Waypoints
Save your favorite locations with personal waypoints that only you can see. Mark your home base, mining spots, or secret locations.
Global Waypoints
Server administrators can create global waypoints visible to all players. Perfect for marking spawn points, community buildings, or points of interest.
Compass & Map Integration
All waypoints appear as markers on your compass and world map, providing visual guidance toward your destinations.
Quick Teleportation
Teleport instantly to any saved waypoint. Right-click markers on the map for one-click teleportation.
Persistent Storage
Waypoints are stored in JSON configuration files and persist through server restarts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I set waypoints in different dimensions/zones?
Waypoints store coordinates and can be used across the world, though teleportation works within the same dimension.
Is there a limit to how many waypoints I can create?
There is no hard-coded limit, but creating hundreds of waypoints may impact performance.
Can regular players create global waypoints?
Only players with the simplewaypoint.global.add permission can create global waypoints. By default, this is typically restricted to administrators.
