Tripp's Simple Compass

by TrippFlatt

Tripp's Simple Compass puts a small compass screen on the HUD, so players can see their heading without opening a map.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1 – 1.21.4

What it does

The screen shows a compass strip that updates as the player turns. Its display can be switched on or off, and its position on screen can be changed to suit the layout of the HUD. Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it, and it requires Fabric API. Builds cover 1.21.1 and 1.21.4, with 1.21.4-1.1 as the latest Fabric file.

Key features

  1. Small compass screen

    A small compass display is drawn on the screen, showing the direction the player is facing.

  2. Toggle the display

    The compass can be turned on or off, so it is only visible when the player wants it.

  3. Adjustable position

    The compass screen can be moved to another part of the HUD to avoid overlapping other elements.

Questions

Does Tripp's Simple Compass need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency and must be installed next to the mod on Fabric.

Does the server need Tripp's Simple Compass?

No. The mod is client-side only, so a server runs without it and players can install it alone.
