Waystones in All the Mods - Gravitas

Waystones adds teleportation that you build yourself. You place a Waystone, activate it, and from then on you can return to it. You can also hop from one activated waystone to another. It's a handy alternative to /warp and /home commands, and it works in survival, on adventure maps and on multiplayer servers.^[1]

The pack includes Waystones version 10.2.1, built for Forge on Minecraft 1.18.2.^[2]

What the mod offers

The mod's project page lists these features:^[1]

• Craftable Waystones, Warp Plates and Warp Scrolls.^[1]
• Teleporting from one place to another using waystones.^[1]
• Global waystones, for community hubs or for sharing with friends.^[1]
• An optional teleport button in your inventory.^[1]
• A waystone structure that can generate in villages.^[1]

Besides using an existing waystone, you can activate one with a Warp Scroll or a rechargeable Warp Stone. Waystones can be made globally available to all players, and a configurable inventory button can warp you without any extra items.^[1]

Where it fits in the pack

You meet waystones early. The quest "Getting Around" quest sits in the Getting Started chapter, and its task is to obtain a Waystone. The pack points you at fast travel from the start, so you can set up a network between your base and your first resource spots.^[3]

Unverified The project page describes the mod in general. The sources don't confirm which options (global waystones, the inventory button, Warp Scroll and Warp Stone recipes) are enabled or changed in this pack, so check the in-game config before you rely on them.

Waystones lets you set up teleport points and hop between them. A waystone block is something you can return to once you've activated it, either with a Warp Scroll, with a rechargeable Warp Stone, or by using an existing waystone to jump over. Here's the order I'd tackle things in.^[1]

First, make a Warp Stone

Start with the Warp Stone. It's the rechargeable item that can activate waystones, and it's also an ingredient in the waystone blocks that come next, so it's the first thing to craft.^[1][4]

Next, craft your first Waystone

Now make a Waystone and place it at your base. Having a waystone is also the task of the quest "Getting Around" quest in the Getting Started chapter of the quest book, so you tick that off along the way.^[3][4]

Then grab a Warp Scroll for trips

A Warp Scroll is the mod's craftable scroll option for warping, and it can activate a waystone too.^[1]

Finally, expand your network

Once you have a waystone set up, a Sharestone is the next thing to look at. It teleports you to any other colorless Sharestone.^[5]

The dyed versions, like the Red Sharestone and Blue Sharestone, each teleport you to any other Sharestone of the same color. That lets you keep separate networks apart.^[5]

The Portstone can't be teleported to. The Warp Plate works with attuned shards: you insert a shard into a warp plate, and you can bring it to another plate too.^[4][5]

Waystones is a teleportation mod. What matters is how you activate waystones, how you travel between them, and which rules the pack puts on that travel. This section covers all of it as far as the sources show.^[1]

Activating and travelling

A waystone is something you can return to once you've activated it. You activate one with a Warp Scroll, a rechargeable Warp Stone, or by using an existing waystone to hop over to another one. Waystones can also be made global so every player can use them, which suits community hubs or sharing with friends.^[1]

In this pack, restrictions.allowWaystoneToWaystoneTeleport is on. That means you can teleport between waystones just by right-clicking one.^[6]

There is also an optional inventory button that lets you warp without carrying any items. The inventoryButton.inventoryButton option can be NONE, NEAREST (teleports to the nearest waystone), ANY (opens the waystone selection menu) or a specific waystone name. The pack's config file has this value blank.^[1][6]

Use times and cooldowns

Scrolls and the warp stone are charged by holding right-click. This pack sets cooldowns.scrollUseTime and cooldowns.warpStoneUseTime to 32 ticks each.^[6]

The Warp Plate works differently. You stand on top of it, and cooldowns.warpPlateUseTime is 20 ticks in this pack.^[4][6]

The warp stone has a 300-second cooldown in this pack (cooldowns.warpStoneCooldown). That cooldown is bound to the player, not the item, so carrying several warp stones won't get around it. The inventory button has its own 300-second cooldown (cooldowns.inventoryButtonCooldown).^[6]

Teleporting to a global waystone with the inventory button or the warp stone applies a cooldown multiplier, cooldowns.globalWaystoneCooldownMultiplier. It is 1 in this pack, so it doesn't change the base cooldown.^[6]

Items can show a remaining cooldown in seconds in their tooltip. There is also a tooltip message for when you don't have enough experience levels for a teleport.^[5]

Sharestones, Portstones and Warp Plates

A Sharestone teleports you to any other sharestone of the same colour. The plain one links to other colourless sharestones, and each dyed version, such as the Red Sharestone or Blue Sharestone, links to its own colour. The Portstone is the odd one out, because it can't be teleported to.^[4][5]

Dyeing is a shapeless craft of a sharestone plus a dye of the matching colour. Bone meal plus a dyed sharestone turns it back into a colourless one.^[4]

Red SharestoneMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• any red dye

SharestoneMod recipe

Attuned shards go with warp plates. The tooltips tell you to insert a shard into a warp plate, and to bring it to another warp plate. A shard can also lose its attunement.^[5]

Pack-changed recipes

The pack changes the recipes for the waystone, warp stone, sharestone, portstone and warp plate. Don't rely on the mod's default recipes for these. The waystone, sharestone and portstone recipes each use a warp stone, so that is the one to get first.^[4]

Dimensions, mobs and permissions

Cross-dimension warping is allowed in this pack (restrictions.dimensionalWarp is set to ALLOW). The allow list, restrictions.dimensionalWarpAllowList, contains the Overworld and the Nether. The deny list is empty.^[6]

Leashed mobs travel with you, including between dimensions. The only entry in the pack's leashed deny list is the Wither.^[6]

Making a waystone global for all players requires creative mode in this pack (restrictions.globalWaystoneSetupRequiresCreativeMode). Survival players can still place, edit and break ordinary waystones, because restrictions.restrictToCreative is off. Renaming isn't limited to the owner either.^[6]

World generation

Waystones can generate in the Overworld, the Nether and the End. worldGen.frequency is 25, the approximate chunk distance between freely generated waystones, and setting it to 0 would turn generation off. They are also added to villages, though some villages may still spawn without one. The style depends on the biome, so you'll see different variants such as mossy and sandy ones depending on where they spawn.^[6]

Names come from the preset list first (worldGen.nameGenerationMode is PRESET_FIRST), but the custom name list is empty in this pack. Generated waystones can be broken, since restrictions.generatedWaystonesUnbreakable is off.^[6]

If you use JourneyMap, activated waystones get waypoints created for them. The pack is set so that this is skipped if the separate JourneyMap Integration mod is installed.^[6]

Waystones progression in this pack is short, and it mostly flows from one item: the Warp Stone. The Waystone, Mossy Waystone, Sandy Waystone, Sharestone and Portstone recipes all use it, so getting it early opens up most of the mod.^[4]

Stage 1: Warp Stone

The pack changed the Warp Stone recipe, so don't rely on what you remember from the mod's defaults. Check the recipe below.^[4]

Stage 2: The Waystone and its quest

The Waystone is the core block of the mod. In the pack's quest book, "Getting Around" quest (Getting Around) sits in the Getting Started chapter and asks you to obtain one. It unlocks after an earlier quest in that chapter. The pack also changed the Waystone recipe.^[3][4]

Dyeing Sharestones

Sharestones can be dyed, and every color has its own shapeless recipe, for example Red Sharestone, Blue Sharestone and White Sharestone. These are unchanged mod recipes. A dyed Sharestone can be turned back into the plain one with the clear recipe shown below.^[4]

Waystones has only one confirmed crossover in this pack, and it's for the item that makes travel rechargeable: the Warp Stone.^[1][4]

Warp Stone and the Cut Emerald

The pack changed the Warp Stone recipe. It now needs a Cut Emerald, an item from a different mod. The recipe also takes an Ender Pearl and a purple dye, and the dye slot accepts any item in the Balm purple dyes tag. So you can use whichever purple dye you have on hand.^[4]

This is the pack's changed version of the recipe, not the mod default.

Because the recipe needs that cut gem, you'll have to get one before you can make your first Warp Stone.^[4]

Balm

Waystones requires Balm, which has to be installed alongside it. The purple dye tag in the Warp Stone recipe is also a Balm tag.^[1][4]

Quests

The quest "Getting Around" quest sits in the chapter "Getting Started(Featuring Stone Anvils!)" and asks you to get a Waystone. Its only task is a Waystones item, so it doesn't involve any other mod.^[3]

Waystones only shows up in one quest chapter in the pack, and it's right at the start of the questbook. That chapter is "Getting Started(Featuring Stone Anvils!)".^[3]

The quest is "Getting Around" quest. Its single task is to get a Waystone into your inventory. It's a simple item-submission task, so you only need to have the block.^[3]

The quest isn't the first in its chapter. It unlocks after another quest in the same chapter has been completed, so finish your earlier Getting Started quests before it appears.^[3]

Unverified The sources don't say what the prerequisite quest asks for, whether "Getting Around" quest gives a reward, or whether any other chapter mentions Waystones, so none of that is covered here.

Everything below lives in one file, config/waystones-common.toml. These are the values this pack ships with, so if you tweak anything, start from here.^[6]

Unverified The pack file only shows the values this pack uses, not the mod's own defaults. I can't confirm which of these settings the pack changed from default, so none of them are labelled as changes.

XP costs

Distance-based XP is effectively switched off here. xpCost.maximumBaseXpCost is 0, and the file notes that 0 disables all distance-based XP costs. xpCost.blocksPerXpLevel is set to 1,000 for reference.^[6]

• xpCost.dimensionalWarpXpCost is 3 levels. The file says this base cost ignores block distance.^[6]
• xpCost.waystoneXpCostMultiplier, xpCost.sharestoneXpCostMultiplier and xpCost.globalWaystoneXpCostMultiplier are all 1.^[6]
• xpCost.inventoryButtonXpCostMultiplier, xpCost.portstoneXpCostMultiplier, xpCost.warpPlateXpCostMultiplier and xpCost.warpStoneXpCostMultiplier are all 0.^[6]
• xpCost.xpCostPerLeashed is 1, which is the XP needed per leashed animal travelling with you.^[6]

Cooldowns and use times

• cooldowns.warpStoneCooldown is 300 seconds. It is bound to the player, so multiple warp stones share the same cooldown.^[6]
• cooldowns.inventoryButtonCooldown is also 300 seconds.^[6]
• cooldowns.scrollUseTime and cooldowns.warpStoneUseTime are both 32 ticks of charge-up while holding right-click.^[6]
• cooldowns.warpPlateUseTime is 20 ticks, which is how long you stand on a warp plate.^[6]
• cooldowns.globalWaystoneCooldownMultiplier is 1.^[6]

Restrictions and dimensions

• restrictions.dimensionalWarp is ALLOW, but restrictions.dimensionalWarpAllowList holds only the Overworld and the Nether. The file says this list covers dimensions you can warp cross-dimension from and to, so the End is not on it.^[6]
• restrictions.allowWaystoneToWaystoneTeleport is true, so right-clicking a waystone lets you hop to another one.^[6]
• restrictions.globalWaystoneSetupRequiresCreativeMode is true, so only creative players can make a waystone global for everyone.^[6]
• restrictions.restrictToCreative and restrictions.restrictRenameToOwner are both false, so survival players can place, edit and break waystones, and anyone can rename them.^[6]
• Leashed mobs travel with you, including between dimensions, because restrictions.transportLeashed and restrictions.transportLeashedDimensional are true. The only mob on restrictions.leashedDenyList is the wither.^[6]

World generation

• worldGen.frequency is 25, the approximate chunk distance between freely generated waystones.^[6]
• worldGen.spawnInVillages is true, while worldGen.forceSpawnInVillages is false. The file notes that some villages may still spawn without a waystone.^[6]
• worldGen.worldGenStyle is BIOME, so the waystone's look depends on the biome it generates in.^[6]
• worldGen.dimensionAllowList includes the Overworld, the Nether and the End.^[6]
• restrictions.generatedWaystonesUnbreakable is false, so generated waystones can be broken.^[6]

Inventory button and JourneyMap

inventoryButton.inventoryButton is an empty string in this pack. The file documents NONE, NEAREST, ANY or a waystone name, but it doesn't say what an empty value does, so I can't tell you which behavior you get.^[6]

For maps, compatibility.displayWaystonesOnJourneyMap and compatibility.preferJourneyMapIntegration are both true. The second one means waystone waypoints are only created if the mod 'JourneyMap Integration' is not installed.^[6]

All the Mods - Gravitas 4.0 includes Waystones 10.2.1 (the Forge 1.18.2 build). The mod was first included in All the Mods - Gravitas 1.1 or earlier.^[2]

Waystones 10.1.1

The mod's own changelog for 10.1.1 lists these fixes:^[7]

• A Warp Dust duplication bug was fixed.^[7]
• Sheets were being classloaded too early, which stopped banner patterns from other mods from working. That is fixed too.^[7]

The pack runs 10.2.1, which is a later version than 10.1.1, so these fixes come from an earlier release than the one you are playing.^[2][7]

Unverified The sources here include no pack changelog entries for Waystones, so changes to the mod between pack releases are not shown.
