Tired of getting lost in Minecraft's expansive worlds or constantly forgetting where you built your latest project? Xaero's Minimap is an essential utility mod that brings real-time navigation and enhanced spatial awareness directly to your gameplay. It displays a dynamic map of your nearby terrain, tracking players, hostile mobs, passive creatures, and even dropped items, ensuring you always know what's around you. This mod is particularly beneficial for explorers, base builders, and anyone who wants to navigate their Minecraft world with greater confidence and efficiency.

Distinguishing itself with a design that respects Minecraft's original visual style, Xaero's Minimap provides a truly complementary experience. It was also the first mod to introduce a rotating square minimap to the game, a groundbreaking feature for its time. With a wide array of customization options, you can tailor the map to your preference, whether you prefer a classic square, a modern circular display, or a fixed direction arrow to keep your bearings.

Customizable Map Display: Choose between a classic square or a modern circle-shaped minimap. Lock the minimap's rotation with a direction arrow, or let it rotate with your view for dynamic tracking.
Entity Tracking: Effortlessly spot players, mobs, and items as customizable dots with unique colors or as distinct icons, providing crucial awareness of your surroundings.
Personalized Waypoints: Create unlimited waypoints to mark important locations like your home base, valuable resource veins, or a friend's build. Waypoints are visible both on the minimap and as glowing markers in your game world, with optional teleportation capabilities to quickly revisit marked spots.
Terrain and Cave Modes: Visualize the surface terrain or switch to cave mode to see underground tunnels and structures, making exploration of complex cave systems or identifying hidden dungeons much simpler.

To get started with Xaero's Minimap, ensure you have the appropriate mod loader (Forge or Fabric) installed for your Minecraft version. Please note that using XaeroPlus with this mod is strongly advised against. XaeroPlus is not affiliated with the official Xaero's Minimap and is known to cause critical, untrackable bugs and crashes. Furthermore, XaeroPlus has alleged ties to server griefing groups, which could put your server builds and data at significant risk. Always download Xaero's Minimap from trusted sources to ensure compatibility and security.
