What Command Waypoints is
Command Waypoints is a free mod for Minecraft Java Edition that lets players create and manage static waypoints through commands, without tying them to an entity. The project describes this as an alternative in a Locator Bar context where entities are the default waypoint form. Use `/waypoint list` to display all waypoints. The `/waypoint static add` command creates one from an ID and coordinates, with optional color, style, and range settings that can be entered in any order. Commands can change a waypoint’s location and settings; colors can be supplied as hex values, and the style command can reset or set a style. `/waypoint static remove <id>` removes a waypoint by ID. Fabric is the listed mod loader, and the stated supported game-version range is 1.21.6–1.21.10; the project also identifies snapshot 25w17a as its target. It is licensed under GPLv3. The repository includes Fabric and NeoForge project directories, shows no releases or packages, and links to GitHub Issues, which shows one issue.
