Doom's Markers
by JustDoom
Doom's Markers lets players place their own map markers in the world, with icons, colours and a distance display, plus automatic markers for player deaths.
What it does
Players mark land features without a full map mod. Markers are placed with the Use key while holding a marker item, and each one can be given a custom colour and icon by using dye and other items. Markers can be toggled with the M key, and their distance from the player is shown on screen. A Death Marker is created at the spot where a player dies.
Markers can be shared with other players, which suits groups exploring together. Map banners can track generated locations such as Buried Treasure. Options are set in a config file. Doom's Markers is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric and Forge; it needs extra dependencies on both loaders, and the mod is client and server, so both sides run it.
Files target 1.20.1 only, with 1.3.2 as the latest build for Fabric and Forge, released on 2026-07-15. The source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Custom land markers
Players place markers on the terrain, so a route or base can be noted without opening a full map mod.
Icon and colour editing
Dye and items change a marker's colour and icon, and scrolling cycles through the icon options while holding Use.
Death markers
A marker is placed automatically where the player dies, so the spot can be found again.
Shared and tracked markers
Markers can be shared with other players, and map banners can track generated locations such as Buried Treasure.
