๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ Waystones

Travel instantly across your worlds

A lightweight, 100% server-side teleportation plugin for Paper/Spigot

Create named teleportation points anywhere on your server โ€” Overworld, Nether, End โ€” and let your players travel with a single click through a clear, intuitive menu. No client mod, no resource pack required.

Inspired by the well-known Waystones mod in the Minecraft community, this plugin reuses its core idea โ€” named, reusable teleportation points โ€” but as a server-side plugin only. Nothing to install on the client, no resource pack to distribute: everything runs directly on the server, through a simple in-game menu. A lightweight alternative for Paper/Spigot servers that can't or don't want to use client-side mods.

โœจ Features

  • ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ Menu sorted by world โ€” points are automatically grouped by dimension: Overworld, Nether, End
  • ๐Ÿท๏ธ Renamable categories โ€” customize the menu category names (e.g. "Nether" โ†’ "Underworld") to fit your server's theme
  • ๐ŸŽจ Colored icons โ€” green, red, or purple glass depending on the point's world of origin
  • ๐ŸŒ Available in 4 languages โ€” French, English, Brazilian Portuguese, Quรฉbec French, changeable anytime via an admin command
  • โšก Free, instant teleportation โ€” with a configurable anti-spam cooldown
  • ๐Ÿ”’ Admin-only management โ€” only OPs can create, rename, or remove a point
  • ๐Ÿท๏ธ Custom names โ€” every point can be named and renamed at any time
  • ๐Ÿ”„ Periodic update checks โ€” the menu icon tells you whether you're up to date or a new version is out
  • ๐Ÿ’พ Reliable storage โ€” persistent YAML storage, no data loss on restart

๐Ÿ“– How it works

  1. An admin goes to the desired spot and types /waystone create <name> โ†’ the point is created instantly
  2. A player types /waystone โ†’ the world selection menu opens
  3. They pick a world โ†’ the list of points in that dimension is displayed
  4. Clicking a point โ†’ immediate, free teleportation No complex configuration, no block to craft: everything happens through commands and the menu.

๐Ÿงญ Commands

Command Description Permission
/waystone Opens the teleportation menu waystones.use
/waystone create <name> Creates a point at the player's position waystones.admin
/waystone remove <name> Removes a point waystones.admin
/waystone rename <old> <new> Renames a point waystones.admin
/waystone list Lists all existing points waystones.use
/waystone tp <name> Direct teleportation via command waystones.use

/waystone setcategoryname <overworld|nether|end> <name|reset> Renames a menu category waystones.admin
/waystone reload Reloads the configuration waystones.admin

๐Ÿ”‘ Permissions

Permission Effect Default
waystones.use Use the menu and teleport All players
waystones.admin Create / rename / remove, reload config OP only

โš™๏ธ Configuration

The config.yml file lets you customize:

  • language โ€” plugin language (fr, en, pt-br, or fr-ca), changeable in-game via /waystone setlang
  • teleport-cooldown-seconds โ€” anti-spam delay between two teleports
  • effects-enabled โ€” enable/disable sound and particle effects
  • update-checker-enabled โ€” enable/disable update checking
  • update-check-interval-hours โ€” interval between automatic checks (12h by default) Player-facing text is not editable: it's built into the plugin, in all 4 supported languages, to guarantee reliable and consistent behavior. Category names, however, are customizable via the /waystone setcategoryname command.

๐ŸŒ Supported languages

Language Code
๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท French fr
๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ English en
๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท Portuguese (Brazil) pt-br
๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ French (Quรฉbec) fr-ca

The language is set globally by the server admin (no automatic per-player detection), with an automatic fallback to English if a text is missing. It can be changed at any time, without a restart, via /waystone setlang <fr|en|pt-br|fr-ca>.

v5.2 26.1.x (26.1 โ†’ 26.1.2) 26.1
v6.0 26.2.x (current version) 26.2

โœ… Complete compatibility roadmap โ€” Waystones covers every officially supported Minecraft version, from 1.12.2 up to the current version. New features (v6.0: renamable categories, periodic update checker) are available on the 26.2.x line; earlier versions intentionally remain on the v5.2 feature set, with no backport planned.

๐Ÿท๏ธ Understanding version numbers

Every plugin file follows a simple format: Waystone-<plugin version>-<Minecraft version>.jar. For example, Waystone-6.0-26.2.x.jar means: plugin version 6.0, compatible with the current Minecraft 26.2.x version. The same plugin is also available as Waystone-5.2-1.12.x.jar for the 1.12.x line โ€” different version numbers, since 1.12.x hasn't received the v6.0 features yet.

Two important things to know:

  • The plugin version and the Minecraft version evolve independently. Porting Waystones to a new Minecraft version without any feature change doesn't change the plugin's version number โ€” only the Minecraft suffix changes.
  • The plugin version number follows a major.minor logic (e.g. 5.0 โ†’ 5.1):
    • A minor change (5.0 โ†’ 5.1) is a small adjustment or addition to an existing feature.
    • A major change (5.1 โ†’ 6.0) is a significant new feature or a major rework of the plugin.

๐Ÿ“Š Statistics

Waystones uses bStats to collect anonymous usage statistics (server count, versions, language used...). No personal data is collected. Publicly viewable, and can be disabled at any time server-side via plugins/bStats/config.yml.
