Command Waypoints vs Map Atlases

Command Waypoints is a free mod for Minecraft Java Edition that lets players create and manage static waypoints with commands, without requiring an entity. The project describes this against a Locator Bar context in which waypoints can be shown and entities serve as the default waypoint form. Use `/waypoint list` to display all waypoints. The `/waypoint static add` command creates one from an ID and coordinates; color, style, and range are optional, and their order does not matter. Commands can change a waypoint’s location, color, style, and range, with colors also accepting hex values. The style command can reset a style or set a specified one. `/waypoint static remove ` removes a waypoint by ID. The project is licensed under GPLv3. Fabric is the listed mod loader, and the supported game versions are 1.21.6–1.21.10; the project identifies Minecraft 1.21.6 snapshot 25w17a as its target. The repository includes Fabric and NeoForge project directories, but the listed loader is Fabric. Its page shows no releases or packages.

Map Atlases is a free map mod for Minecraft Java Edition. It adds waypoints, an entity radar, cave mapping, and configurable map shapes for navigation and map viewing. The mod supports the Fabric and NeoForge loaders and is listed for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Supported game versions are 1.18, 1.19, 1.19.2, 1.19.3, 1.19.4, 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.20.4, 1.20.5, and 1.21.1. Players can mark locations, view entities, map caves, and adjust the map’s shape presentation. Map Atlases is available through its Modrinth website and has a free plan, with no purchase price listed. Compatibility depends on using Minecraft Java Edition together with one of the specified game versions and a supported loader. Players should match the mod release, game version, loader, and operating system to their setup before installing.
