EzCompass

by TheRealRaphael

EzCompass puts compass, lodestone compass, recovery compass and clock readouts near the hotbar, so players can check navigation items without keeping them in the hotbar.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License26.1.2

What it does

The client-side HUD draws navigation items next to the hotbar. Compass, lodestone compass, recovery compass and clock are all displayed there, and items already visible in the vanilla hotbar are not repeated. Players do not have to hold these items in their slots to see them.

EzCompass runs on the client alone, so players can use it on single-player worlds and on multiplayer servers without any server-side installation. Server owners do not need to add it, and other players do not need to install anything on their side. Mod Menu is optional and lets players change settings in-game. Fabric API is required.

The mod is published for Fabric only, with a single file for 26.1.2. Its license is the MIT License, and the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Compass readout

    A compass display sits near the hotbar, so the current heading is visible without holding a compass in a slot.

  2. Lodestone and recovery compasses

    Lodestone compass and recovery compass entries appear beside the hotbar with their own readouts.

  3. Clock display

    A clock readout is shown with the other navigation items, giving the time without opening the inventory.

  4. Duplicate filtering

    Items already visible in the vanilla hotbar are left out of the HUD, so the same item is not drawn twice.

Use cases

Hands-free navigation

Players exploring large worlds can keep their hotbar free for tools and weapons while still reading their heading.

Multiplayer play

Because the mod is client-side, players on a server that does not run it can still use the readouts locally.

Who it’s for: Players on Fabric 26.1.2 who want compass, clock and recovery readouts near the hotbar, in single-player or on multiplayer servers.

Questions

Does EzCompass need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, so it must be installed next to EzCompass on Fabric 26.1.2.

Does a server need EzCompass installed?

No. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it.

Can Mod Menu change EzCompass settings?

Mod Menu is optional. When installed, it lets players change EzCompass settings in-game.
