This is (not) a bug. You should use the mod Building Tweaks for placing the arrows without needing a surface.[

FAQ
- Why this bad, useless and stupid mod? The Pathfinder Tool exists.
I primarily made it for me. The Pathfinder is not permanent and it is limited to 20 discs per path and you can't have multiple paths, unless I am mistaken. And I'm not experienced, I do what I can.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Does exactly what it says: gives you a buildable arrow for wayfinding.
- Lightweight and simple, won't bloat your load order.
- Recent update (April 2026) shows the author is still active.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 14 endorsements – a small niche mod, so don't expect widespread community support.
- No screenshots or detailed instructions provided, so you're on your own for placement.
- Limited functionality – if you need more than a basic arrow, this won't cut it.
For players who want a simple, no-frills way to mark paths or locations in the game. If you're tired of getting lost and just need a visual cue, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for complex building tools or decorative variety.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place arrows at eye level so they're visible from a distance.
- Use them in a line to create a trail, not just a single marker.
- Check if the arrow is available in the build menu after installation – if not, verify the mod is enabled.
