Optional minimum (and maximum?) distance between player placed Waystones

I'd love to be able to set a minimum distance required between player placed Waystones for my personal server.
I hope it could be something that's easy to implement. Thanks for the mod ๐Ÿ‘

e.g -
Player places Waystone 10 blocks away from another one, server distance setting is on 20.
Player gets msg "Too close to another Waystone, move 10 blocks further."

Mechanics like that always feel kind of odd since there's no equivalent vanilla concept so it'd break the core expectations of being able to place blocks in an empty space.

It would also conflict with generated waystones, since there's no way of knowing whether a waystone will be too close before all chunks within the range are generated. One could of course exempt generated waystones from this, but that would just cause further confusion, since it would mean that if you ever broke a generated waystone, you may not be able to place it in the same spot because now the distance checks trigger.

The potential for problems and confusion seems to outweigh the usefulness. In theory an addon mod should be able to implement this though if they really wanted to.
