Ping to Map: Xaero's edition
Drops a temporary Xaero's Minimap waypoint the instant a teammate (or you) pings a spot with Ping-Wheel — no prompt, no edit screen, and by default it disappears together with the ping.
You ping "come here" with Ping-Wheel, but it never shows on the map, so on big builds people still can't find the spot. This addon puts a waypoint on Xaero's the moment a ping happens, then clears it so the map stays clean.
Features
- A temporary waypoint on every ping — no clicks, no edit screen
- By default the waypoint expires in sync with the Ping-Wheel ping — they vanish together (or set a fixed 1–600 s, or make it permanent)
- Team-share — Ping-Wheel broadcasts pings to teammates, and each client creates the waypoint locally
- No items or blocks; it never interrupts Ping-Wheel's own behaviour, and won't crash if Xaero's is absent (it reaches Xaero's by reflection that no-ops on absence or an API change)
Config (config/pingtomapxaeros-client.toml, or the Mod Config GUI)
appearance.syncWithPingWheel— waypoint vanishes together with the ping, its lifetime following the ping's (default on)appearance.waypointLifetimeSec— fixed lifetime in seconds, used only when sync is off (-1 = permanent)feature.registerOwnPings— also waypoint your own pings (false = teammates' only)
