CompassHud-client
by Suharik
CompassHud-client puts a minimal compass strip on the top of the screen, modeled on the HUD compasses of modern FPS games.
What it does
The compass shows cardinal directions during play, so a player can keep track of heading without opening a map. It is client-side only, so only the client needs it and the server can run without it. The mod is published for Forge, for 1.20.1 only, and is released under the MIT License. It is not open source.
Key features
Cardinal direction strip
A compass bar across the top of the screen marks north, south, east and west while the player moves.
Minimal on-screen display
The HUD stays clean and small, showing only the directional display so the view is not crowded.
Toggle and key binding
The compass can be hidden and shown again, and a custom key can be bound to the toggle in the controls settings.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
