Now supporting the Waystones mod!
This mod adds three blocks and three tools:
- The waystone can be placed and named.
- The signpost/large signpost looks like a single fence block. The players can register up to two waystones as destinations for every post (one for large signposts). Once a signpost has a destination, an arrow-shaped sign with the destination's name on it gets attached. After discovering a waystone (right-click), a player can use every signpost with this waystone as destination to teleport back to it.
- Signpost variants:
- The signpost wrench is used to rotate and flip the signs in the right direction.
Usage:
- Place a waystone. For other types of waystones look here: Placing a waystone
- Open its gui (shift+right click with bare hands) and give it a fancy name. Players can now discover this waystone by simply right-clicking it.
- Place a signpost.
- Open its gui (right click) and enter the names of the desired waystones as destinations. You can force the signpost to display other names by pressing ENTER. These signs can obviously not be used for teleport.
- Use the signpost wrench to rotate (right click), counter-rotate (left click) or flip (shift+left click) one of the arrows.
- Players can now teleport to the destinations by right-clicking the signs, provided they have discovered the specified waystone.
- Right click a sign with the calibrated wrench to open the rotation gui. You can now enter an angle or the coordinates of a block. Left/shift+left click a sign to make it point in the direction/opposite direction you are looking.
- new: You can paint a post or sign by right clicking it with the signpost brush. This will turn the post/sign multi-colored. Right click it again with a block of your choice to assign this block's texture. For more information look here: Painting a sign
- Hitting a sign with bare hands will make it point directly at its destination. Not available in creative mode
- You can add snow/gras/vine overlays to signs by hitting them with snowballs/seeds/vines. Remove them by hitting the sign with any item/block except signpost items. Not available in creative mode
- Note that signposts and waystones are generated in vanilla villages by default. Thus, villages have signposts pointing at each other. The first generated village will have an empty signpost. It will be filled as the second village is generated.
Commands:
- "/getwaystonesleft [<player>]": Display the amount of waystones you/the specified player (op only) are allowed to place.
- "/getsignpostsleft [<player>]": Display the amount of signposts you/the specified player (op only) are allowed to place.

- "/setsignpostsleft <amount> [<player>]": Set the amount of signposts you/the specified player are allowed to place (op only).
- "/discoverwaystone <name> [<player>]": You/the specified player will instantly discover this waystone (op only)
- "/signpost list": List all waystones
Config file:
- Enable/disable question whether to teleport on signpost right click.
- Possibility to deactivate teleportation
- Option to select an item as payment for teleportation
- Restrict the amount on waystones and signposts a player may place.
- Set a maximum distance between signpost and waystone
- Disable/enable interdimensional teleport

Hi, I like you mod, but i have a question, my friends can't use my signposts.
In reply to billy_552:
So you can use your own signposts but your friends cannot? They propably haven't discovered the waystones yet. Before you can use a signpost, you have to "discover" the waystone it points to by right clicking it. If you don't want this and you have access to the server's config, you can deactivate this limitation. Open "<root>/config/signpost/signpost.cfg" (where <root> is the folder of your server or ".minecraft" if it is a local world) and set disableDiscovery to true in Security settings.
I love this mod, and I have some requests:
- I configured so the signs can only be edited on creative, but still, my players always are able to "deface" the signpost of the first village found...
- TBH, I don't like the way the waystones look, they really stand out from the other blocks... not in a good way, IMO. Could you add a waystone that looks like a "traditonal" block? Maybe with garish colors so players can easily spot it? And a config option to disable the other "oddly" shaped waystones?
Don't take it the wrong way, please, I am only doing these suggestions because I really love this mod. Actually, is in the list of my essential mods. But I think it could be improved.
Also, a question: can we add village names particles/components in the config files?
Edit.: Please, if you add these changes, add them for 1.12.2... Thank you! ;)
In reply to da_real_steve:
Hey, thank you for your kind words and for your feedback :D
- The system that controls whether a player can edit a sign does not work well with signs which have no owner (auto-generated posts). I'll fix that.
- I'll think about how to improve the waystone design. Mabe I'll just add some more options and provide a config entry where you can disable the ones you don't like.
- About the village names: When you first started your server with the mod installed, three files called "villagenamesX.txt" (X being "first", "second" and "third") should have appeared in the config folder (SERVER_ROOT/config/signpost/). Modify these and restart your server. The villages generated after that should have the new names, the names of previously generated villages will not change.
In reply to Gollorum:
Amazing! Really excited for the changes, I'll look forward to it!
Thanks for the reply. :)
I can’t figure out how to have a signpost with one arrow that points to the right and one that points to the left.
Also, I can’t find any signposts at any villages.
In reply to Dimentive:
To flip an arrow, hit it with the wrench while sneaking (shift+left click).
Concerning the village signposts, there are several possibilities why it isn't working:
There’re no teleportation features if Waystones isn’t installed, right?
In reply to Dimentive:
Yes there is, the mod adds its own waystones. Check the description for crafting recipes.
If you do not want this feature, you can disable it in the config file.
In reply to Gollorum:
Gotcha. Thanks.
Any plans for a 1.14/1.15 port?
In reply to maesedude:
I'm currently working on 1.13. After that, I will do 1.14 and 1.15.
Don't expect frequent updates though, my time is limited and the code is a mess, sorry :D
Is it possible to define the amount of the item defined in "S:paymentItem="? Maybe even by range of the teleportation.
In reply to malsm:
You can do that by setting "I:distancePerPayment". It defines how far you can travel with one item, so if this is set to 100 and you want to teleport over a distance of 300 blocks, you will have to pay with 3 items of the specified type.
In reply to Gollorum:
Thank you for your reply. So a fixed amount of >1 item regardless of distance is not possible? If so please consider this a feature request if you're still working on that mod. =)
In reply to malsm:
You're right, that is currently not possible. I still work on the mod occasionally, but I'm always reluctant to touch that horrible code I did there D:
I'll put the feature on my list, but it may take a while. Porting to 1.13/1.14./1.15 will be my next step.
I wish there was a command sign for forge mods.
For the beta version, is there any chance of adding an option that, in simplified terms, replaces your genned waystones with the ones from the waystone mod and the village signposts would point to the waystone mod waystones instead?
Alternatively, could you have your waystones generate in a manner similar to the waystones mod, IE, they generate a village structure that is easily distinguishable?
As it stands the waystones that generate in villages are extremely hard to spot so having an option to use waystone mod waystones instead or adding a structure that holds your waystones would be much appreciated.
Can't wait for this to be updated to 1.14!
Couple Quick Questions:
The Waystones Mod assigns a village a name when it is created, will the generated signpost here respect that?
If I am using both mods, will each village generate two waystones? One for this mod and one for the Waystones mod?
Thanks in advance!
