Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.22.0, potentially outdated):
KsCartographyTable_v1.0.4.zip 1-click install
The lack of mods for sharing previously created waypoints with other players pushed me to create my own mod, with blackjack and hookers*. This mod was inspired by Valeheim's cartography table.
Overview
A cartography table can be built in the crafting grid using a wooden table and a parchment and used by interacting with it holding ink and quill. When a cartography table is placed in the world, players will be able to store their waypoints on it, and copy waypoints added by other users to their map.
WARNING: this process is automatic, players won't be able to choose which waypoints to share or to copy. All the waypoints will be copied either from the player's map to the cartography table's map, or the other way around. Players will be able to edit and delete waypoints created by other players, the original owner of the waypoints will see the changes only after interacting with the cartography table to update their player map.
Every cartograpy table can contain a different set of waypoints, so different groups of players can use different cartography tables to manage their group's waypoints.
Commands
This mod also adds a command to remove all the group ids set on all waypoints by other mods. This should be enough to resolve the index error which can occur after removing mods that add group ids on waypoints, and should be a one time fix.
Quick guide
- in the chat window, type /purgewpgroups
- go to a cartography table
- right click on it with an empty hand
A chat message should confirm that the group ids have been removed. At the moment this command/interaction only works on local saves, so you can use it to fix your saves open to lan/internet.
The command/interaction will NOT work on a remote server. To fix a server savegame follow this steps:
- copy the savegame from the server to your pc
- start the world on your pc in single player
- run the command/interaction
- exit the game
- copy the savegame back from your pc to the server
It's cumbersome but it works, and needs to be done only once.
Usage
Updating the cartography table's map
When you right click on the cartography table with ink and quill:
- the waypoints you added on your map will be copied to the cartography table
- the waypoints you edited on your map will be updated on the cartography table
- the waypoints you deleted from your map will be deleted from the cartography table
Updating your map
When you sprint+right click on the cartography table with ink and quill:
- the new waypoints on the map will be added to your map
- the changed waypoints will be updated on your map
- the delted waypoints will be removed from your map
Wiping the cartography table's map
When you right click on the cartography table with resin:
- all the waypoints on the table will be removed
There is now a cooldown of 500ms between interactions to prevent spam-clicking.
DISCLAIMER: I made this mod for my own server where I play with friends. I might not have time to update it or fix bugs, and it hasn't been extensively tested yet. Be warned, and backup your saves before using it!
Special thanks
- Trini for the awesome title image
- DiZurix who updated the mod for 1.22, added a new wipe feature and several improvements!
*Blackjack and hookers not included.
- compatible with Egocarib's Auto Map Marker
- compatible with NEMI (and possibly other mods which add custom icons)
- not compatible with other waypoint sharing mods
- compatible with Prospect Together
- remove waypoints deleted by other users from the player's map on interaction (added in v1.0.1)
- add a way to wipe the map on the cartography's table (added by DiZurix in v1.0.3)
- prevent multiple interactions firing while the player holds down right click (fixed by DiZurix in v1.0.3)
- (not sure if possible) also share explored areas of the map
- (not sure if possible) view the map stored on the cartography table
- v1.0.0 - Initial release

Hello, will it ever be in the scope of this mod to filter which waypoints you want to share? I'd love to be able to chose a waypoint name, and only share those with the same name, or something like that.
That is a great idea, both the filtering which waypoints to share and which waypoints you want to get from the table's map. I will keep this in mind for future updates, but I don't have much time for modding lately so I don't know how long it will take me to look into it.
wojtek16 Thanks for the info! I will probably just wait for the 1.22 version. I usually only play single player anyway, so I'm not worried about keeping a server at same version.
KiriRae The newest 1.22 version doesn't work for 1.21.6, the tabe doesn't appear in the handbook even, Kaisentlaia do you think you guys might also make it available for 1.21.6? I know it is a big ask, but thought I would try! If not that's completely understandable! I feel like for the record it's the best mod to share waypoints on a server with how easy it is to setup! Thank you for all your work!
KiriRae Didn't test it out yet, will check it out tomorrow and see if it works with my version. On previous version, if I would click on map to add a marker, it would crash the game for me with log showing it was a client error. Will update if it works!
Forgive me if I'm just reading through this lazily, but this doesn't share map exploration between players, right?
If not, any knowledge on where to start with creating a mod that would have that functionality? I'd assume it's just related to the MapRegion interface but I've never made a mod for this game and I'm moderately new to any API documentation reading. All good if you don't know, I'm in the VS server so I should probably be asking there first anyways :P
wojtek16 Did you find out if this works on 1.21.6?
Oh wow, I wasn't expecting this to get an update! Thank you! :)
Do you know if this might backport to 1.21.6 or only 1.22? Can give it a try but wasn't sure if you tested!
thanks!
El_Neuman I'm glad you're enjoying the mod :) the credit for this update goes all to DiZurix!
wojtek16 let me know if you're still experiencing issues on the new version!
One of my favorite mods, thanks for an update <3
Shoot, it looks like this mod doesn't work in 1.21.6, it seems to crach for when another player right clicks in the map to add a waypoint to something. Just to warn others, nothing world breaking, but just recommend not using until mod is updated
Kaisentlaia Are there any plans to update this mod further?
Does it work on 1.21?
Any chance for an update?
Any chance of this being updated?
anyone try this on 1.21
Works great so far on my 1.20.11 private server. I started making my own mod after seeing so many waypoint sharing mods dead and abandoned. My vision was exactly like yours, make a cartography table similar to Valheim. What a pleasure to see it already existed and was functioning! =) Thank you for making this!
Would love to see explored areas. I love this mod and this is all it needs to be perfect. Let me know if I can help you out to make it happen asap!
Quack,
Starting to try this mod. In the creative inventory the tab is called "tabname-blocks" which is not very informative.
It seems to work wel so far, thank you.

Fajen yes it does
Does it work on 1.20.3?
would love 1.20 update. I cant find any mod that allows my GF and I to share waypoints on LAN.
Has anyone tested to see if this works with 1.20?
Kaisentlaia, perfect thank you! :D
drakray I just ran a quick test and I can confirm that the mod is 100% compatible with NEMI. If you add a waypoint with a custom icon to the cartography table and another player who doesn't use NEMI updates their map from the cartography table, they will see the new waypoint icon as a dot.
drakray that's an interesting question. It depends on how the game handles unknown icon names (I suppose it would be the same as adding waypoints using NEMI's icons and then uninstalling NEMI). I will try to test this case as well and let you know.
Kaisentlaia the thing I'm not certain about, is what if I use NEMI, but my friend don't?, would it crash, or would it fallback to a default dot icon?
I can't really try it on my current server, and since my friend don't really use waypoint it might be moot, but I'll think about it :P
drakray I'm not sure since I don't use any mods which add custom icons (yet), but after a quick look at NEMI I think it should be compatible. I will try to test it and get back to you, unless you're brave enough to test it on one of your saves. ;)
Seems very nice, does it work with mods like NEMI, which add custom icons?
Will probably add to my private server :D
Thank you for your good work :)
Finally, a lore-friendly sharedmap mod for Vintage Story!!!
Works on my machine! Good job!
