What it does

Orientation is a client-side utility for Fabric and Quilt, released under the MIT License and open source. Only the client needs it; a server can run without it. Builds cover 1.17 – 1.20.1, and the latest Fabric file is 2.1.0 for 1.18.2, while the latest Quilt file is 3.0.2 for 1.20.1. Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) or Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL) must be installed alongside it.

Key features

  1. Ice boat cardinal snapping

    Ice boats snap their orientation to the cardinal directions, which keeps runs on straight lines.

  2. Align command

    An align command rotates the view by any chosen number of degrees, not only fixed steps.

  3. Client-only install

    Players install the mod on their own client, and the server does not have to run it.
