Description
Wayfinder lets you 'carve' navigation marks directly into rock surfaces using a chisel. There are seven mark types: four directional arrows (up, down, left, right), an explored marker, a danger warning, and a resource indicator. These flat marks attach to vertical wall faces and help you navigate complex cave systems without getting lost.
Crafting
No crafting required. You only need a chisel (no hammer needed — in fact, having a hammer in your off-hand will use normal chiseling instead).
How to Use
1. Equip a chisel in your main hand. Do NOT put a hammer in your off-hand.
2. Look at any rock, stone, or ore wall surface (vertical faces only — not floor or ceiling).
3. Sneak + Right-Click to place a mark on the surface.
4. Press Ctrl+U to cycle through mark types: Arrow Up, Arrow Down, Arrow Left, Arrow Right, Explored, Danger, Resources.
5. The current mark type is shown in chat when you cycle.
6. Marks can be broken by punching them.
Notes
If you have a hammer in your off-hand, the chisel will behave normally (for block chiseling) instead of placing marks. This is intentional so the two systems don’t conflict.
Disclaimer
This mod was vibe-coded by a hobbyist. While it works great in my testing, I'm not a professional developer — Please back up your worlds in case something goes sideways and use at your own risk!
I will answer questions and resolve bugs as best I can. I made this mod to use myself and thought I'd share it with others.

Having a hammer in your off-hand only uses normal chiseling if you look at the top of the block, not on the sides. Otherwise it will place markers.
WintersRaine
Cracked stone blocks won't allow you to chisel a symbol using Wayfinder. It must be a solid block of stone.
WintersRaine - Let me look into this. Which version of VS are you running the mod in?
You only need the chisel so, something is not right for sure.
I love the idea behind this mod!! But It will not let me mark at all the ctrl+U works fine...Just no mark will go on the wall it says needs hammer.
