    Think about "what are waypoints?" and "what object are they relevant to, so I can store them there?"

    Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

    For example:

     

    Me: "What is a waypoint?"
    You - it is a location in space represented by 3 values.

    Me: "So, a BlockPos"

    And this is why my first reply was an attempt to get you to think about your problem.

    Ok so i have the BlockPos (Players bed location just to test) but how could i make a way point of sort from it? 

    BlockPos bed = Minecraft.getMinecraft().player.getBedLocation();

    I know you would use the BlockPos to show where the way point is, but the actual way point that you can see from anywhere i have no clue how to do, one way i have though of is creating a GUI at the BlockPos but i cant see anywhere on how to do that.

    I'm not sure the client player is aware of its bed location, I think that's server-side information.

    As for where to store this information, you need to answer a few questions:
    Is this mod client side only?

    Does this information need to be saved to disk and reloaded the next time the player joins a world?

    Well i think the client is aware of the location as i tested and it got it.

    Yes the mod is client sided only

    And yes preferably saved but not required at the moment (i may look into it in the future on how to save)

    Some tips:

    Spoiler

    Modder Support:

    Spoiler

    1. Do not follow tutorials on YouTube, especially TechnoVision (previously called Loremaster) and HarryTalks, due to their promotion of bad practice and usage of outdated code.

    2. Always post your code.

    3. Never copy and paste code. You won't learn anything from doing that.

    4.

    Programming via Eclipse's hotfixes will get you nowhere

    5. Learn to use your IDE, especially the debugger.

    The "picture that's worth 1000 words" only works if there's an obvious problem or a freehand red circle around it.

    Support & Bug Reports:

    Spoiler

    1. Read the EAQ before asking for help. Remember to provide the appropriate log(s).

    2. Versions below 1.11 are no longer supported due to their age. Update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.
