Description
CompassLocator
📌 This is a client-side mod. A server-side plugin version is also available → Modrinth · CurseForge
CompassLocator is a client-side mod for Minecraft 1.21.6+ that adds useful compass information directly to the action bar. A port of the CompassLocator plugin, now with even more features and an in-game config GUI.
No more opening F3. Just hold a compass and see:
- where you are
- which direction you're facing
- what biome you're in
- where you died last time
- players around you on the radar
Features
Normal Compass
- Coordinates (adjustable precision — integer or decimal)
- Current biome
- Cardinal direction (North/South or N/S)
- Time of day (optional)
- World name (optional)
- Lodestone support — shows the coordinates your compass is linked to, even if broken (shows last known position)
Recovery Compass
- Where you last died (coordinates)
- Which world
- Time since death
- Distance to death location
Combined Mode
- Hold a normal compass in one hand and a recovery compass in the other
- The action bar shows information from both at once
PvP/HCF-style Locator Bar
- See nearby players on your radar
- Shows player direction relative to you
- Perfect for competitive gameplay
In-Game Configuration GUI
- Full configuration menu right in your game
- No need to edit files manually (but you still can)
- Changes apply instantly

FAQ
Do I need to install anything on the server? No. This is a client-side mod. It works on any server, even vanilla.
Does it work in multiplayer? Yes. The Locator Bar shows other players even if they don't have the mod installed.
What's the difference between the mod and the plugin? The plugin runs on the server. The mod runs on your client and has access to more features (like the in-game GUI and client-side optimizations).
Do I need Mod Menu and Cloth Config? No, but they're recommended. Without them, you can still edit config.yml manually.
