Lodeways Waystones

Lodeways Waystones

Craft and name waystones, then travel between them from a clean list for a little experience.

What it does

• Craft a Waystone (amethyst, gold, an ender pearl, polished deepslate), place it and name it.
• Right-click any waystone to see the others in a scrolling list with distance and cost, and travel with one click.
• Travel costs experience by distance and has a short cooldown, so it is a choice and not a free teleport.
• Way Charts: use paper on a waystone to write a chart of it. A friend who reads the chart knows the waystone without the walk.
• With many waystones, a search box filters the list by name.
• Pets come along: tamed pets that follow you and animals on your lead travel with you. Pets told to sit stay home.
• Public waystones: the owner sneak-right-clicks a waystone with an empty hand to make it public, and everyone can travel there without finding it first.
• Warp Stone: opens your waystone list from anywhere, for the trip's levels plus three, then recharges for a minute.
• Cost, cooldown and limits are in config/lodeways.json.
• Walk-up discovery: come within six blocks of a waystone and it joins your list. discoverRange in the config changes the distance or turns it off.
• Arrival guard: five seconds of Resistance after you arrive, so a landing next to a mob is survivable. arrivalGuardSeconds in the config turns it off.
• Nearest first: the travel list now starts with the closest waystone, other dimensions after, A-Z. listOrder "name" in config/lodeways.json brings back A-Z.
• Friends come along: other players within 3 blocks who sneak when you travel arrive with you, free of charge. friendRange in config/lodeways.json (0 turns it off).
• Pearl fare: short of levels for a trip? An ender pearl from your inventory pays it instead.
• Horses come along: your own tamed horses, donkeys, mules and llamas within 16 blocks travel with you, like dogs do. horsesTravel in the config turns it off.
• Compass attune: use a compass on a waystone and it points there, like a lodestone compass, named after the waystone. One compass at a time.
• /waystones: the command says how many waystones you know and which one is nearest in the dimension you stand in.
• /waystones direction: the nearest waystone is named with its compass direction too, like "12 blocks west".

Needs

• Minecraft 26.3, 1.21.11 or 1.21.1 with Fabric Loader + Fabric API, or with NeoForge. Pick the file for your version and loader on the Files tab.
• Installed on both the client and the server (it adds blocks, items and its own screens)

Recipe
