Waystones Server Hosting

Waystones is the most popular fast travel mod for Minecraft, with over 240 million downloads making it an essential quality-of-life addition for any server. When you host a server with Waystones, you're eliminating tedious travel time while preserving the joy of exploration, creating a much better multiplayer experience.

Why Host a Server with Waystones?

Large Minecraft worlds become tedious without fast travel. Players don't want to spend 20 minutes walking between their base and a friend's build. Waystones solves this elegantly - players must first explore to discover waystones, then can teleport freely between known locations. This rewards exploration while respecting player time.

Server Requirements for Waystones

Waystones is extremely lightweight, requiring minimal server resources. We recommend just 4GB RAM, as the teleportation mechanics have negligible performance impact. The mod is purely quality-of-life and won't affect your server's TPS.

How Waystones Work

Players discover waystone structures generated throughout the world or craft their own. Interacting with a waystone adds it to that player's network. From any waystone (or with warp scrolls), players can teleport to any waystone they've activated. The system naturally rewards exploration.

Configuration Options for Server Admins

Waystones offers extensive configuration perfect for server customization. Set experience or item costs for teleportation to balance the convenience. Configure cooldowns between warps to prevent abuse. Restrict whether players can craft personal waystones or must rely on generated ones. Enable or disable cross-dimension travel.

Global and Personal Waystones

Beyond standard waystones, players can create Sharestones that all players can use, perfect for community locations like spawn, shopping districts, or event areas. Personal waystones can be configured to be private or shared, adding economic potential.

Warp Scrolls and Return Scrolls

Single-use scrolls enable teleportation without reaching a waystone first. Return Scrolls bring players back to their bound waystone - perfect for death recovery. These consumables create item sink and add value to exploration.

Essential for Large Modpacks

Waystones is crucial for packs with expanded world generation like Biomes O' Plenty or Terralith, where interesting locations are spread across vast distances. It's included in nearly every major modpack.

Village Integration

Waystones naturally generate in villages, making village discovery valuable and connecting your world's naturally generated settlements into a coherent travel network.
