CustomCoords
by hxrl
CustomCoords lets players choose how their coordinates are displayed, so a Y value of 0 can be set to sea level for a clearer reading of height.
What it does
Coordinates are a core part of the multiplayer experience, because they are an efficient way to tell someone where a location is when the two players have no shared landmarks. The coordinate readout sits in the debug screen with other information, some of it useless or even misleading, and the mod's niche is the coordinate display itself, which it makes customisable.
The mod changes only how coordinates are shown. It does not alter how the game operates in the background. A player can, for example, set the Y value at sea level to 0 so that heights are read relative to the sea, which matters since the introduction of -64 as the lowest Y level. Community mods already show coordinates in other ways, but this one is built around changing the meaning of the numbers.
CustomCoords is a Forge mod for 1.18.2, published under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and it is open source. It is client-side only, so servers do not need it. Xaero's Minimap and Xaero's Minimap (Fair-Play) are optional dependencies, and when Xaero's Minimap is present the mod shows its custom coordinates in that minimap's info display.
Key features
Customisable coordinate meaning
Players can change what the coordinates count from, such as moving the zero point to sea level.
Debug screen display
The customised coordinates appear where the standard readout normally sits, in the debug screen.
Xaero's Minimap integration
With Xaero's Minimap installed, the custom coordinates are also shown in its info display.
Visual-only change
The mod alters only how coordinates are presented and leaves gameplay and world mechanics untouched.

Death Coordinates reaches 1.20.1 – 1.21.6 on Fabric and Forge, is client or server optional, and is all rights reserved.

Coordinates are an essential part of the multiplayer experience. There's no other way to efficiently communicate the location of something to someone who doesn't share your knowledge. This information, being so essential, does not belong in the debug screen, along with information that is either useless or…
