Waypoint Groups

Translation needed for 6.0

This page was updated for JourneyMap 6.0 in English. Translation is pending; the content shown is the English source. See Contributing to help translate the docs.

Waypoint groups let you organize your waypoints into named sets, such as Bases, Mining, or Villages. Groups are managed from the Waypoint Manager; the group list is the panel on one side of the manager.

Native groups

JourneyMap has several built-in groups that always exist:

Group	Purpose
Default	New waypoints go here unless you pick another group.
Death	Death waypoints created when you die.
Temp	Temporary waypoints.
All	A virtual view that shows every waypoint regardless of its group.

When you play on a server that manages waypoints, a Global group is also shown for the waypoints the server shares with players.

Native groups are locked: their names cannot be changed. They can still be configured in other ways (see below).

Creating a group

Use the New Group button in the Waypoint Manager, or the New Group option in the Waypoint Editor, to create a custom group. Custom groups can be renamed, edited, and deleted freely.

Group actions

Each group in the list has these actions:

• Enable / Disable Group - toggle every waypoint in the group on or off at once.
• Edit Group - open the Edit Group screen (see below).
• Delete Group - delete the group. (Native groups cannot be deleted.)

Editing a group

The Edit Group screen shows the group's Id, Tag, and waypoint count, and provides these options:

Option	Description
Name	The group's display name. Locked (native) groups cannot be renamed.
Color Override	When enabled, every waypoint in the group uses the group's color instead of its own.
Icon Override	When enabled, every waypoint in the group uses the group's icon instead of its own.
Default	Marks this group as the default group for new waypoints. Only one group can be the default at a time.
Tag	Text prefixed onto every waypoint name in the group, both on the map and in the world. Can be left blank.
Locked	Shown for native groups whose name cannot be edited.

Show on Locator Bar

26.1 only

The locator bar is a Minecraft 1.21.6+ feature, so this option is only present in JourneyMap for Minecraft 26.1. It is not available on the 1.21.1 line.

The Edit Group screen also has a Show on Locator Bar option, which shows the group's waypoints on the vanilla locator bar above the hotbar.

Default group

The group marked as Default is where new waypoints are placed unless you choose a different group while creating them. Setting a new default clears the flag from whatever group held it before, so there is always exactly one default group.

Temporary waypoints

The Temp group holds temporary waypoints. Waypoints can be added to or removed from the Temp group, which is handy for short-lived markers you do not want cluttering your permanent groups.

Group panel settings

The Edit Group Settings screen controls how the group list itself is displayed:

Setting	Description
Hide All Group	Hides the All group from the group panel.
Hide Empty Custom Groups	Hides custom groups that contain no waypoints.
Hide Empty Death Group	Hides the Death group when there are no death points.
Hide Empty Temp Group	Hides the Temp group when there are no temp waypoints.
