Odyssey Map
Odyssey Map is a client-side minimap and fullscreen map mod that lets players keep a clear overview of the world they explore, with a HUD that can be placed and sized to match the interface.
What it does
Players can choose a circular or square minimap, position and size the HUD, and pick between North-Up, where north stays at the top, and Heading-Up, where the map rotates with the direction the player faces. Terrain is rendered from cached data, so the map keeps up while the player moves. Marker visibility and zoom levels can be adjusted from the same settings.
Custom markers can be placed and managed on bases, villages, crop fields, ore veins and other places worth remembering. The bed spawn point is tracked, so a player can head back home after a long exploration. The mod requires Fabric API on Fabric, and the server does not need it to run. Files exist for 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2, with 1.3.1 as the latest release, published on 2026-10-09. The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0.
Key features
Circular or square minimap
The minimap can take either shape, and its position and size are configurable so it fits the rest of the HUD.
Fullscreen map
A fullscreen map shows terrain already discovered, with navigation that stays smooth when moving across large areas.
Custom markers
Markers can be placed on bases, structures, farms, resources and other locations, and their visibility can be toggled.
Rotation modes
North-Up keeps north at the top, while Heading-Up rotates the map so it follows the direction the player is facing.
Spawn point tracking
The bed spawn point is tracked on the map, which helps players return home after exploring.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who explore large worlds and want a minimap and fullscreen map without a server-side install. Server owners do not need to add anything for players to use it.
How it compares
Odyssey Roles is server-side required with optional client use, open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.20 – 1.21, so its role is on the server rather than the map. Xaero's Minimap is client required with server optional, not open source, and covers 1.7.10 – 26.3, so it spans more versions. MapStitch is client and server, open source under the MIT License, and targets Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21 – 26.3 without Forge.
