Your base is far away? Place or find a waystone, activate it, and from then on you can teleport between all your activated waystones. Version 26.3.0.1 is out for Minecraft 26.3.

What Waystones does

Waystones adds waystone blocks that work as a fast-travel network, a great alternative to /warp and /home on servers.

  • Find or craft them: waystones generate in villages and in the wild. You can also craft one from 8 matching blocks around a Warp Stone, in variants like stone bricks, sandstone, deepslate, blackstone or end stone.
  • Activate and name: right-click a waystone to activate it, shift-right-click to give it a name.
  • Teleport: right-click an activated waystone and pick any other one you’ve activated.
  • Costs are configurable: by default a trip costs experience points depending on distance, and cooldowns or other rules can be set up with warp rules.

Scrolls, Warp Stone and Warp Plates

  • Warp Scrolls teleport you to any of your activated waystones, single use. Return Scrolls take you to the nearest activated waystone, also single use.
  • The Warp Stone lets you teleport to any of your activated waystones from anywhere, at the cost of durability. Mending repairs it.
  • Warp Plates teleport players, mobs or items to a linked warp plate, like teleporting pressure plates. They are linked with Attuned Shards.

Sharestones and global waystones

Sharestones come in eight materials (amethyst, copper, diamond, emerald, gold, lapis, prismarine, redstone) and connect to other sharestones of the same material. They don’t need to be activated and are always available to all players, which makes them ideal for server hubs. Waystones can also be made global, so every player can use them.
