Compass Plus
by Qb
Compass Plus is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge utility that draws a minimalistic compass on the HUD for players.
What it does
The compass HUD marks the cardinal directions of the world while the player moves. Points such as the world spawn, lodestones, treasure maps and the last death location can also be shown, depending on which compasses and maps the player carries. Other mods can register their own points for the HUD through a simple API. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it. Fabric API is required on Fabric, Forge Config API Port on Forge and NeoForge, and Mod Menu is optional. The mod is open source under The Unlicense.
