Oaks Minimap
by ContinuedOak
Oaks Minimap is a NeoForge client mod that draws a vanilla-style minimap in the corner of the screen, with settings for almost every part of its display.
What it does
The minimap is lightweight and customisable, and it follows the dimension the player is in, including the Nether. Its settings are kept in a config menu, so players can fit the map to the layout of their own HUD and world. Nearby players can be shown on the map, with support for UUIDs, and the display is rendered on the client.
Players need the mod on their own game, while the server can run without it or add it for the features it provides. Oaks Minimap is for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with the latest file, 1.1.0, dated 2025-08-14. It is not open source, and the code is under All rights reserved, with public links for the source code available.
Key features
Vanilla-style minimap
The map is drawn in a style close to the vanilla look, aiming to keep the feel of the base game.
Dimension-aware display
The minimap works across dimensions, including the Nether, and updates as the player moves between them.
Nearby player markers
Other players close to the viewer appear on the map, with UUID support for matching them.
Configurable layout
A config menu controls size, position and other display options so the map can be fitted to the world and screen.

How it compares
Create - Xaero's map is a client-side only NeoForge mod under the MIT License for 1.21.1, so it needs no server install. Plain Waypoint is also client-side only and MIT licensed, but it covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.11. Tempad to Map: Xaero's edition is not open source, is published for 1.21.1 only, and is meant to run on both sides of the connection.
