Sextant
by Apinoita
Sextant is a Fabric equipment mod for measuring angles, and it uses those angles to calculate distances.
What it does
Sextant adds an equipment item that measures angles, and the measured angles are used to calculate distances. The mod requires Fzzy Config, and Mod Menu is an optional companion. Because it runs on client and server, both the server and every player need it. Its only published build is for Fabric and 1.20.1, released as version 0.2 on 2025-07-17 under a custom license that is not open source.
Key features
Angle measurement
The sextant measures the angle between two points, giving the player a value to work with.
Distance calculation
Distances are worked out from the measured angles, so the item works as a rangefinder.
Overlay interaction
The author built the item to be used with the F3 debug overlay hidden, since the visible overlay makes the angle readings less useful.

What the author says
Adds a sextant so you can measure angles and calculate distances with said angles. This mod is originally meant to be used with a mod that disables the F3 overlay (for example no f3) because the angle shown in the overlay makes this mod a lot less useful.
