RoadMap
by Excited
RoadMap puts a compass heading and a minimap-style information panel on the player's screen, updated as the view turns.
What it does
RoadMap is a Fabric mod that draws a direction compass and an information panel over the game view. The compass updates as the player looks around or moves, and each heading is recalculated at a frequency the player can set. Text is rendered with smooth, high-legibility fonts that stay sharp at any monitor resolution.
The overlay can be placed at the top center, top left, bottom right or any other position, and its text size and scale can be changed so it does not crowd the screen. The whole HUD overlay can be switched off with a single toggle when a clean view is wanted. Layout and appearance can be adjusted to match a personal HUD style.
Installation requires Fabric. The client alone runs RoadMap, so a server does not need to install it. Only one game version is supported, 26.1.2, and the latest Fabric file is 1.0.0-beta.1, a beta build published on 2026-06-18. The code is available as source, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the mod is open source.
Key features
Real-time direction tracking
A compass overlay follows the player's facing direction and redraws as the view turns or the player moves.
Adjustable placement
The information panel can be moved to a chosen corner or edge of the screen and resized to fit the layout.
Configurable update rate
The frequency at which the heading is recalculated can be set, trading responsiveness against update cost.
Global HUD toggle
The entire overlay can be hidden with one switch, leaving the default interface unchanged.
