CoordinateBar
by Vitaxses
CoordinateBar shows the player's coordinates on the action bar, the line of text above the hotbar, so they stay visible while playing.
What it does
Once installed, the mod writes the player's position into the action bar above the hotbar. The readout updates as the player moves and needs no command or key press to appear. It is a Fabric mod and requires Fabric API to be installed next to it.
The mod runs on the client alone, so a server does not need it and players can join a server without installing anything. It is published for Fabric across six release versions covering 1.20 – 1.21.4, with 1.0.2 for 1.21.4 as the latest file. CoordinateBar is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Its files are dated from the first release on 2023-11-17 to the latest update on 2025-03-18. Only the Fabric loader has files, so Forge, NeoForge and Quilt players need a different tool.

Players who need exact positions while building or digging can read them at a glance.
Navigating by coordinates

Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want a constant coordinate readout on the client. Servers do not need the mod, so it can be added without any server-side setup.
