Explorer's Suite
Explorer's Suite is a Fabric adventure mod that adds cozy campfire, candle, ladder and HUD tools for players who travel and build in the open world.
What it does
The mod groups several quality-of-life tools for exploration. A direction and coordinates display appears on the HUD while a player holds a compass. Ladders can be stacked by placing one on top of another already in place, and campfires can be placed unlit. A fire starter is crafted from two flint and lights campfires and candles. Pigs can drop tallow when they die, which serves as an alternative to honeycombs for crafting candles, and sweet berries and glow berries can be placed as crafting pips.
Candles and campfires make the world feel warmer: an incensed candle and an infernal candle grant the Calming and Insomnia effects to nearby players, and more candles stack for a farther range. Potions brewed with a ghast tear give Calming and Insomnia, and inverted Calming potions are included. Most behaviour is set in a configuration file, and several placement rules are controlled through item tags such as explorerssuite:ladders.
Installation covers the server and each player's game. It is published for Fabric only, requires Fabric API, and covers 1.18.2, 1.19, 1.19.1, 1.19.2 and 1.19.3. The latest file is 1.0.1 for 1.19.3. Explorer's Suite is open source under the MIT License.

How it compares
Simplest Hud is a client-side only Fabric mod under the MIT License, published for 1.21.11, so it works without a server install but covers a different version. Totally Lit - Candles is a server-side only Fabric mod for 1.18.2 that is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it adds candles without the HUD. Cozy Campfire is server-side only, released under the MIT License for 1.21 – 1.21.11, and it targets campfires rather than the coordinates display.
