XaeroPatcher

by rootshark

XaeroPatcher lets players keep their own minimap preferences on Fabric, even when a server sends Xaero's Minimap settings over the network.

What it does

On Fabric, XaeroPatcher works alongside Xaero's Minimap and XaeroLib. Some servers push extra Xaero's Minimap configuration through network messages; with XaeroPatcher, a player can keep preferences that differ from those messages.

The mod gives players more say over their own client configuration. Because it changes nothing on the server, only the client needs it, and a server does not have to install anything for it to work. Fabric Loader, Fabric API and Xaero's Minimap are required alongside it, and XaeroLib is needed for the minimap to run.

Files are published for Fabric only, for game version 1.21.11. The code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.

Key features

  1. Local minimap preferences

    Players can keep their own minimap settings instead of accepting values pushed by the server.

  2. Client-side control

    Xaero's Minimap settings stay under the player's control on the client, including options a server may send.

  3. Network configuration handling

    Configuration messages that some servers send for Xaero's Minimap are intercepted, so local preferences win.

  4. Works with XaeroLib

    The mod runs next to XaeroLib and Xaero's Minimap without altering their server-side behaviour.

Use cases

Multiplayer servers with pushed settings

A player on a server that forces minimap options can keep the layout and display choices they prefer.

Single-player minimap tuning

A player who adjusts Xaero's Minimap heavily can keep those settings without a server overriding them.

Who it’s for: Players who run Xaero's Minimap on Fabric and want their local minimap preferences to hold, especially on servers that send their own configuration.

How it compares

Full comparison

Xaero PointShare is a client-side Fabric mod, open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21.11 – 26.2, so it covers the same game version range. XaeroNuhUh is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and runs on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1 – 26.2, so it does not replace the client-side control that XaeroPatcher gives.
