Nexus Trace Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Does Nexus Trace Mod need to be installed on the server?
No, the mod runs completely on the client side. You can use all of its waypoint features on any multiplayer server without the server needing the mod or any extra plugins.
How do I create a new waypoint and manage my existing ones?
Press B to open the creation screen and place a waypoint at your current coordinates. To edit, customize, or delete existing markers, press the ; (semicolon) key to open the waypoint manager menu.
Where is my death waypoint? I died and can't see it.
Automatic death waypoints are saved into their own dedicated profile rather than your main active list. Press the Left Arrow or Right Arrow keys to cycle through your profiles until you reach the death waypoint profile.
Why did all my waypoints disappear when I logged in?
You likely accidentally switched to an empty profile. Press the Left Arrow or Right Arrow keys to switch back to your main waypoint profile, or press ; to check your profiles in the manager menu.
How do I hide my coordinates so I can take screenshots or stream safely?
Open the waypoint manager menu by pressing ; (semicolon) and adjust the text settings. The mod includes an option to hide exact coordinates and distance numbers from the markers so you do not leak your base location.
Will my singleplayer waypoints show up when I join a multiplayer server?
No, the mod saves waypoints into separate files for every singleplayer world and multiplayer server. Your markers will only appear in the specific world where you created them.
How do I use the mod to link Nether portals?
Nexus Trace Mod features built-in coordinate conversion between the Overworld and the Nether using the standard 8:1 ratio. You can use this feature inside the waypoint menu to convert an Overworld marker's position to its exact Nether equivalent, or vice versa.
Can I see my waypoints if they are really far away or underground?
Yes, the world-space markers stay visible through solid walls and even render when the destination is beyond your loaded chunks. They also feature depth-tested vertical laser beams to clearly highlight the exact block position.
How do I change the color of a waypoint or turn off its laser beam?
Press ; (semicolon) to open the waypoint manager menu and select the marker you want to edit. From there, you can toggle laser visibility, adjust the marker scale, and use the built-in ARGB color picker to change the label and background colors.
How can I back up my waypoints or share them with a friend?
All waypoint data is stored in clean JSON files separated by world and server. You can copy these JSON files from your game directory to back them up, share them with friends, or edit your coordinates manually with a text editor.
