Immersive Navigation
by htmlhorse
Immersive Navigation gives players a set of handheld tools that show height, coordinates, time, nearby ores and open space without opening the F3 debug screen.
What it does
Each tool covers one piece of information a player would otherwise read from F3. The Depth Meter reports the current Y level, the Cartesian Tool shows X and Z coordinates along with chunk details, and the Digital Clock displays the time in a modern 12-hour style. The Moist Sensor reports whether the player stands in a slime chunk, and the Hollow Scanner finds open areas two blocks tall beneath the player. The 12-Hour Metal Detector picks out ores close by, and the Terrain Analyzer estimates how rich the material under the player is.
The mod is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 only, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Ore detection can be configured for compatibility with other mods. Immersive Navigation is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, which allows sharing and adapting the material, including commercially, when credit is given. The mod is not open source.
