WayBar - Locator Bar Waypoints

A Minecraft server plugin that displays personal and global waypoints in the native Locator Bar.

Banner

Features

  • Personal waypoints โ€” save locations, teleport, customize appearance
  • Global waypoints โ€” server-wide points visible to all players
  • Locator Bar display โ€” waypoints appear in the vanilla compass UI
  • Custom colors โ€” preset colors or hex values (#RRGGBB)
  • Multiple icon styles โ€” different waypoint markers
  • Visibility radius โ€” min/max distance filtering per waypoint
  • Per-player visibility โ€” players can hide/show individual global waypoints

Resource Packs (Custom Icons)

Custom Icons

By default, waypoints use vanilla style. For custom waypoint styles, download a resource pack from Releases and configure it in config.yml:

resource-pack:
  enabled: true
  url: "https://your-host.com/waybar-icons.zip"
  sha1: "abc123..."

Once players accept the pack, custom styles become available via /wp style and /wp styles. If players don't accept the pack, they will see the vanilla style. Also available /wp rp command to suggest pack again.

Requirements

  • Server: Paper or Spigot 26.1โ€“26.2
  • Java: 25
  • Dependencies: none

For Minecraft 1.21.6โ€“1.21.11, download the legacy WayBar 0.2.0 release and use Java 21 with ProtocolLib. That release remains unchanged. Current releases target Minecraft 26.x and do not use ProtocolLib.
