NavTable Coordinates
by JOKRisBest
NavTable Coordinates adds a Display Link output to the Navigation Table, so the table's current coordinates can be shown on a display.
What it does
The Navigation Table gains a new Coordinates option in its Display Link configuration screen. Once it is attached, the table writes its position to any display target that Display Link supports, including Create's Display Boards. The output is a plain text component with the X, Y and Z values in the form X:[x Y:[y Z:[z, so the numbers can be read directly from the display without any extra parsing.
The mod is aimed at builders and engineers in Create and Simulated settings who need exact positions. A Navigation Table already tracks where it is going and where it is not, and the subtraction between the target and the current position gives the difference used for routing. Installing the small NavTableCoordinates addon alongside Simulated and Create brings this telemetry to the display.
NavTable Coordinates is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, as version 1.0.0, released 2026-07-18. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Coordinates output
The Navigation Table can show its current X, Y and Z position on any Display Link display.
Display Link option
A Coordinates entry in the Display Link configuration screen lets the table be set up without commands.

Use cases
Train routing
Dynamic train schedules can use the exact position of a Navigation Table to track where trains are.
Build reference
A builder can place a display beside a Navigation Table to read coordinates while constructing a machine.
Who it’s for: Players who run Create contraptions and need exact positions for routing or scheduling, and server owners who want the same coordinate readouts on shared bases.
How it compares
Coordinate Compass is NeoForge only, built for 1.21.1 under All rights reserved, and is not open source. Create: Autonavigation is also NeoForge for 1.21.1 and open source under the MIT License, but it handles navigation rather than displaying coordinates. Aeronautics: Calibrated is NeoForge for 1.21.1, open source under the MIT License, and runs on client and server like this mod.

The Navigation Table knows where it's going at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. NavTableCoordinates is a small addon for the Simulated mod (and Create) that provides crucial telemetry data. By subtracting where the target is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever…
