Arrow Pointers (Fabric and NeoForge)

Allows you to place arrows on any full block to aid you on your mining journeys. Never lose your way again.

Hitting the corner of a block places an arrow pointing in that direction, hitting the center creates an X, but consumes 2 arrows.
The placed arrows emit a faint light, and they are visible even in the dark.
Spectral arrows work similarily, but the placed arrows are brighter, perfect for caving action!

For developers

Quite often, when I start learning programming on a new platform, I find even the simplest examples too complicated. Tutorials, written by experts, with years of experience programming on that platform, sometimes forget how difficult those first step are.
This is why I decided to make my first Minecraft mods publicly available.

Requires (Fabric)

• Fabric API

Thanks

This mod was inspired by Chalk made by DaFuqs. Reading his code helped me a lot writing this mod.

Alternative addons

• Color Pointers is a more colorful way of marking your way.
• And Iron Signs is a good companion mod to place matching color signs next to the arrows.
• Chalk provides a different way to mark your path with arrows.
• And Chalk: Colorful Addon adds variants of chalk in every color.
