Xaero Map Addition

by plusls

Xaero Map Addition extends the Xaero's map mods on Fabric with extra map features, and only the client needs it.

What it does

The mod works alongside the Xaero map family, adding functions to the world map and the mini map. Waypoints can be highlighted on both maps, so a marked location stands out while a player scrolls through the world map or looks at the corner minimap. The additions are limited to the client, which means a server owner does not need to install anything to let players use them.

Installation targets Fabric only. Files are published for seven release versions, 1.14.4 – 1.19, and the most recent build is 0.2.3 for 1.19, released on 2022-06-11. The code is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, and the source, issue tracker and wiki are all public.

Key features

  1. Waypoint highlight on the world map

    Selected waypoints are drawn with a highlight on the world map, making them easier to find across a large explored area.

  2. Waypoint highlight on the mini map

    The same highlight appears on the mini map, so a nearby waypoint can be spotted without opening the full map.

  3. Map addition for Xaero mods

    Adds to the Xaero World Map and Xaero Mini Map features already in place, rather than replacing them.

  4. Client-only changes

    All changes run on the player's game, so servers can stay vanilla in terms of installed mods.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who already use the Xaero World Map or Xaero Mini Map and want waypoints highlighted on those maps.

How it compares

Full comparison

Xaero Background is a client-side only Fabric mod for 1.21.8 under the MIT License, open source and aimed at the map background rather than waypoints. Xaero PointShare is also client-side only and open source under the MIT License, with Fabric files for 1.21.11 – 26.2, so it covers a different range of versions. Xaero Atlases is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and runs on both client and server for 1.20.1 – 26.3.
