Spurring adventures: Explorer's maps, /locate, other options?

I'd like to add some method for helping players using my mod find interesting places they might want to go, which could be anything from "compasses that point to some kind of interesting locale" to "device that generates Explorer's Maps" to "Block that quietly runs the /locate command in the background, collects the input, and presents it in-game".

All of the options I've looked at, flipping around the knowledge base and various tutorials, I've ended up going "It looks like MCreator can do SOME of this, but not all of it, but maybe I'm missing something", so:

Are there any good options for doing this kind of thing, and if so, what are they about, and where should I start hunting for the how-to?
