WayPoints Mod for Minecraft 1.21.x
The Minecraft 1.21 line brought a wave of new content and, with it, NeoForge as the standard loader. This guide explains what to keep in mind when running WayPoints Mod on 1.21.x, including point releases such as 1.21.10 and 1.21.11.
Use NeoForge on 1.21.x
On the 1.21 line you will generally install NeoForge rather than classic Forge. The steps are simple and covered in the NeoForge setup guide. Once the loader is in place, adding WayPoints Mod is just a matter of dropping the right file in your mods folder.
Match the exact point release
1.21 is not a single version — it is a family. 1.21.1, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11 are different builds, and a mod compiled for one may not load on another. Check your exact version on the title screen and download the matching WayPoints Mod build from the download section.
Rule of thumb: when a new point release drops, wait for a matching mod build before updating your modded profile, so nothing breaks mid-world.
What works the same
All the core features carry over: colour-coded waypoints, the HUD compass, death markers, and dimension-aware organisation. If you are new to them, the features guide is a good next read.
Updating from an older version
- Back up your world before changing versions.
- Install NeoForge for the new version.
- Replace the old WayPoints Mod file with the matching new build.
- Launch and confirm your waypoints still load.
If something breaks
Most 1.21.x issues are version mismatches. Double-check the point release, update NeoForge, and consult the common errors guide if a crash persists.
