Fast Travel Waypoints

Fast Travel Waypoints lets players fast-travel to Waystones directly from Xaero’s World Map.
It adds a clean 3-2-1 teleport with particles/sounds and is highly configurable.

📖 About 📖

Waystones is a staple in many modpacks - it’s simple, reliable and incredibly useful. The one thing that can get messy over a longer playthrough is the Waystone selection screen. It grows into multiple pages, gets filled with random generated names (especially with structure/worldgen mods), and makes finding the right destination slower than it should be.

With latest version of Xaero's World Map/Minimap your Waystones are already shown as waypoints on Xaero’s World Map, so you can quickly see where everything is - but you still have to go back to the Waystones UI and scroll/search every time you want to teleport.

Fast Travel Waypoints mod improves on that by adding a button to the normal Waystones selection screen, letting you use the world map as your fast-travel menu. Depending on your configuration, you can also just directly open the world map and travel from there.

TIP: If you have waystones that are very far apart and don’t want to scroll around the map, I recommend the Xaero Zoomout mod, which lets you zoom out to view up to 760k blocks wide at once.

⚙️How it works (and default behavior) ⚙️

On the Waystones selection screen, you’ll see a new button: Choose via World Map. That button opens Xaero’s World Map, where you can select your destination visually through Waystone waypoints instead.

• You can enable fast traveling from anywhere in the config if you prefer being able to fast travel to any Waystone from anywhere - just open the world map and teleport.
• You can also switch dimensions using the dimension toggle on the left side of the World Map screen, then teleport to Waystone waypoints in other dimensions.

The result is a familiar fast travel system like in open-world games such as Skyrim or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - simple, efficient and map-based.

🎈 Required dependencies:

• Xaero’s World Map
• Xaero's Minimap
• Waystones

⚙️ The mod comes with a config file:

All settings are in config/fast_travel_waypoints-common.toml

• level_cost (default: 0) - XP levels consumed per fast travel (0 = free).
• use_waysones_xp_cost_scaling (default: false) - If true, map-based fast travel uses Waystones' configured XP cost calculation, including distance scaling and dimensional costs, instead of FastTravelWaypoints' level_cost and additional_level_cost_dimensional_travel.
  
  Cross-dimensional travel:
• enable_cross_dimensional_travel (default: true) - Allows fast travel to waypoints in other dimensions when using Xaero’s World Map dimension toggle.
• additional_level_cost_dimensional_travel (default: 0) — Extra XP levels consumed when fast traveling between dimensions. This is added on top of level_cost
  
  Nearby Waystone condition:
  
• require_nearby_waystone_for_use (default: true) - Only allow fast travel if the player is near a waystone.
• nearby_waystone_use_radius (default: 7, range: 1–64) - How close the player must be to any Waystone (in blocks) when "require_nearby_waystone_for_use = true".
  
  Countdown:
• disable_countdown_when_near_a_waystone (default: true) - If enabled, removes the 3-second teleport countdown whenever the player is within nearby_waystone_use_radius blocks of any Waystone
• disable_countdown_for_teleporting_from_anywhere (default: false) - If enabled, removes the 3-second teleport countdown for map teleports even when the player is not near a Waystone.
  
  Open sky condition:
• require_open_sky_player (default: true) - Only allow fast travel if the player has open sky above them (ignores leaves, fluids, and glass-like blocks).
• require_open_sky_destination (default: false) - Only allow fast travel if the destination area has open sky above it.
• open_sky_dimension_whitelist (default: Overworld + The End) - Dimensions where the open-sky rules are enforced. (Nether is excluded by default).
  
  Minimum Y-level check:
• enable_min_y_check (default: false) - Enable/disable a minimum Y restriction.
• min_y (default: 60) - Minimum player Y level required to start fast travel (only used if enabled).
