by Rebar

Birdeye for Xaero's Map is a client-side addon that adds a smooth opening animation to Xaero's World Map when the map is shown.

What it does

Birdeye for Xaero's Map requires Xaero's World Map to be installed, since it only changes how that map opens and leaves the rest of the map untouched. Players press N to open the map with the animation, and the key can be rebound in the controls menu. Left-click skips the animation for anyone who wants the map immediately.

The addon runs on the client alone, so players install it and servers do not need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with 1.0.0 as the latest build on each loader, covering game versions 1.20 – 1.21.8. Cloth Config is optional and adds settings for the animation speed, its minimum and maximum duration, and the height at which the animation takes effect. Mod Menu is optional too, as a way to reach those settings.

Key features

  1. Opening animation

    Opening Xaero's World Map plays a short animation before the full map is shown.

  2. Rebindable open key

    The N key opens the map with the animation, and the binding can be changed in the controls menu.

  3. Skip on click

    A left-click during the animation skips it and shows the map at once.

  4. Adjustable timing

    With Cloth Config installed, the speed, minimum and maximum duration of the animation can be set, along with the height at which it applies.

Questions

Does Birdeye for Xaero's Map need Xaero's World Map?

Yes. Xaero's World Map is a required dependency, and the animation only applies to that map, so it must be installed alongside.

Does the server need Birdeye for Xaero's Map?

No. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.

Can the animation be turned off or sped up?

Left-click skips the animation during playback. Speed and duration are adjustable when Cloth Config is installed.
