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
- Define which players can place/use waystones or signposts: everyone, owner+op, creative+op, op only
- Choose whether recipes are expensive, very expensive, disabled or normal:
-
NORMAL:
EXPENSIVE:
VERY_EXPENSIVE:
DISABLED:
...
- Disable needed discovery of waystones
- Enable/disable generation of signposts and waystones in villages
- Choose which waystone models can be crafted
- Configure village generation stuff
Crafting:
Recipies may differ, depending on the server's config.
Warning: Changing world names is not supported. Interdimensional teleport (via signposts) might be buggy.
Changelog 1.08:
- Added generation of signposts and waystones in vanilla villages
- Added "/signpost list" command
- Some bug fixes
- Some code refinement
Chinese localization by TartaricAcid
Russian localization by Aqelius
You may include this mod in modpacks.
As an alternative to either forcing players to find the waystone or to have all waystones visible in the signpost GUI, I would recommend an option to disable the feature in the signpost gui that goes through all the waystones in order of when they were placed. This way players could teleport anywhere as long as they knew what that location was called.
Great!!
quisiera la version 1.15.2
In reply to MeryCheim09SEP:
I'm working on it.
Btw. please stick to english, my language skills are limited :D
would it be possible to add compatibility with the mod "village names"? To use the names of that mod I mean?
In reply to sirdurpsalot:
I have planned to do that, other players have already requested it. Updating to 1.15 comes first though :D
In reply to Gollorum:
Ah cool, thanks for the fast reply. I'll look forward to the update then!
Is there gonna be a version for 1.15.2?
In reply to TranquilMind98:
I'm working on it. That is, I will once I'm done with the 1.14 version. Which will be after 1.13. And that will not happen until I'm finally done with my bachelor thesis in April. Sorry, but it may take a while.
Hey there I was wondering if anyone has any solution to stacking signs; like for a mob grinder? I cant line up signs to hold up water because everytime I right click the sign, I am just prompted with an edit message. I am unable to put a sign in front of another, anyone got a solution?
In reply to DoubleNarr:
Sneak (press shift) while placing the block. This works with every ingame block by the way: If you sneak while right clicking, you will always use whatever is in your hand, not the block you are looking at.
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. :)
In reply to da_real_steve:
Sooo it is finally done :D
With version 1.08.4, there are three new simple models and the config option to disable the ones you don't like.
For more information, take a look at https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/signpost/pages/waystone-models.
Sorry for taking so long :D
In reply to Gollorum:
My friend, you are amazing! I wish every mod creator would be like you! Thanks a lot, really. ;)
These new models are just what I need, and exactly how I imagined them.
In reply to da_real_steve:
Aww, thank you :D
I'm glad you like the changes. Have fun!
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.
