WayLink

WayLink

WayLink is a small client-side Fabric mod that makes waypoints shared in chat work across JourneyMap, Xaero's Minimap and NoRisk Client.

Every map mod shares waypoints in its own format. If your friend uses a different one, all you get is a line of raw text in chat. WayLink turns that line into a waypoint you can add with one click.

Without WayLink

[name:"Home", x:120, y:64, z:-340, dim:minecraft:overworld]

With WayLink

Steve shared a waypoint called "Home"! [Add]

What it does

You use · You get
Xaero's Minimap · JourneyMap shares show up like a regular Xaero share with the [Add] button
NoRisk Client · JourneyMap and Xaero shares get an [Add to NoRisk] button that adds the waypoint right away
NoRisk Client · A share button in the waypoint list and the /waylink share command to post your own waypoints in chat

Features

Feature · Description
One-click add · Shared waypoints become clickable instead of raw text
Full waypoint data · Name, coordinates and dimension are carried over - Overworld, Nether, End and custom dimensions
Share from NoRisk Client · Waypoints are shared in Xaero's format, so Xaero and JourneyMap users can add them even without WayLink
Works on plugin servers · Handles vanilla chat as well as chat that is formatted by server plugins
Nothing gets lost · If the message contains more than just the waypoint, the original message stays and the share line follows it
Translated · English, German and Spanish, following your game language
Zero setup · No config and no keybinds

NoRisk Client

• The [Add to NoRisk] button only appears while NoRisk Client's waypoint module is enabled.
• In the waypoint list, hover a waypoint and click the share button next to the pencil. The chat opens with the share line, press Enter to send it.
• /waylink share lists your waypoints to click, /waylink share shares one directly.
• Works with the launcher version and the standalone version of NoRisk Client.

Who needs it?

Only the player who wants to add or share the waypoint. WayLink is client-side only - the server and the other player don't need to install anything.

Requirements

• Fabric Loader 0.19 or newer
• Fabric API
• Xaero's Minimap (Xaero's Better PvP works too) or NoRisk Client
• Java 21 for Minecraft 1.21.x, Java 25 for Minecraft 26.x

Supported versions

Minecraft 1.21.4, 1.21.11, 26.1.x, 26.2 and 26.3 on Fabric.

Good to know

• JourneyMap doesn't send a waypoint color, so WayLink picks one based on the waypoint's name.
• Waypoints shared without a dimension are treated as Overworld waypoints, the same way JourneyMap does it.
• If Xaero's Minimap is installed together with NoRisk Client, WayLink leaves shared waypoints to Xaero.
• WayLink is an independent add-on and is not affiliated with Xaero's Minimap, JourneyMap or NoRisk Client.
