This mod introduces an in-game interface for creating and managing custom map markers on both the world map and mini-map. This mod is particularly useful for server administrators and players organizing events, providing versatile tools for marking locations, areas, and points of interest with ease.

• Alternatively, access it through the Debug Menu.

The mod comes packed with numerous features to help you customize and manage markers effectively:
