| Environment | Client, Server |
Waystones is a Java Edition fast travel mod by BlayTheNinth that adds stone waypoint markers you craft yourself or find in villages, witch huts, desert temples, and igloos. Activate one and it becomes a warp destination you can teleport back to from anywhere in the world, which takes the long walk home out of a survival run. Fabric and NeoForge builds are current through Minecraft 26.2, the Forge branch stops at 1.21.11, and every build has to be installed on the client and the server.
What Waystones changes in-game
Waystones generate naturally in villages, witch huts, desert temples, and igloos, and you can craft your own from a stone-based recipe. Each one takes a custom name that shows in the teleport menu, so a sprawling world collapses into a short list of destinations. Warping costs experience by default, and server operators can change the cost, the spawn rates, interdimensional travel, and explosion resistance, or mark a waystone as global so every player on the server sees it. Against a client-side waypoint mod like Xaero's Minimap, the trade-off is that Waystones only moves you between markers that physically exist in the world, and it has to run on the server to do anything at all.
How to install Waystones on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge
- 1.Install your loader first. Fabric needs the Fabric loader and Fabric API, while Forge and NeoForge need their own installer.
- 2.Download the Waystones .jar that matches your loader and your exact Minecraft version from Modrinth.
- 3.Drop the .jar into your mods folder.
- 4.Launch the game. For multiplayer, install the same build on the server before anyone connects.

The full configuration reference is available on the wiki at mods.twelveiterations.com/mc/waystones.

5 questions
How do I install Waystones?
Download the Waystones .jar from Modrinth for your loader (Fabric, Forge, or NeoForge) and Minecraft version. Place it in your mods folder alongside Fabric API if using Fabric, then launch the game. For multiplayer, install the same version on the server as well.
Does Waystones work on multiplayer servers?
Yes. Waystones works on multiplayer, but the mod must be installed on both the client and the server. A version mismatch or server-only install without the client mod will prevent proper functionality.
