Immersive Minimaps

by Cassian

Immersive Minimaps shows a minimap overlay of the player's surroundings, drawn from map data that Hoofprint and Surveyor collect, and it is limited to the client side.

What it does

Cassian's client-only minimap draws the terrain near the player as a small overlay, and the overlay stays visible whenever the player holds a map, an inventory or a bundle. Immersive Minimaps reads the data that Hoofprint and Surveyor gather, so the player's surroundings appear on screen without a separate world map being opened. The mod reuses some code from Hoofprint under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, and it is open source.

The minimap also shows nearby Surveyor landmarks placed by players who share a map with the user. A landmark is created by using a block from the item list, and clicking the same block again removes it. The item list can also open Hoofprint's world map, which the mod adjusts to match its own view. Immersive Overlays and McQoy are optional and can add more information to the screen or help configure the mod.

Immersive Minimaps requires Fabric API on Fabric, Hoofprint, Launchpad, MRU and Sinytra Connector on NeoForge, and Surveyor Map Framework. MRU is needed for the newer builds of the mod. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 8 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3, and the environment is client-side only, so servers do not need the mod.

Key features

  1. Surroundings overlay

    A minimalist minimap sits on screen and shows the terrain around the player, with the view adjusting as the player moves.

  2. Landmark placement

    Blocks from the item list can be used to place waypoints, and clicking the same block again removes the landmark.

  3. Shared Surveyor landmarks

    Landmarks placed by players who share a map with the user appear on the minimap.

  4. Hoofprint world map

    The item list can open Hoofprint's world map, which the mod adjusts so it matches the minimap.

How it compares

Full comparison

Xaero's Maps x Waystones is client-side only, open source under the MIT License and available for 1.20 – 26.2 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, so it covers a similar range of loaders. Surveyor Atlases runs as a client and server mod under the Apache License 2.0 for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, which means every player and the server must run it. MTR: Surveyor Integration is Fabric-only, server required with an optional client, and open source under the MIT License for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1. Flower Map is client-side only under the MIT License for 1.18.2 – 26.3 on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, while Project Minimap Hud is client-side only under the MIT License on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1.

Questions

Does Immersive Minimaps need Fabric API?

Yes, on Fabric it requires Fabric API. On NeoForge it instead requires Launchpad and Sinytra Connector, and Hoofprint is required on all loaders.

Does a server need Immersive Minimaps?

No. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy.

Why does the mod need MRU?

MRU is needed for the newer builds of the mod, so it must be installed alongside Immersive Minimaps on those versions.

What the author says

A minimalist, client-side minimap that integrates Hoofprint into the player's UI, allowing it to only be visible as long as the player has a map. This mod pairs well with my Immersive Overlays mod to display more information in the HUD.
