What's inside
Packed with powerful features
Xaero's Minimap is a fully client-side Fabric mod — install it once and it works on any Minecraft server without server-side setup. Every tool you need to navigate Minecraft, in a single performance-optimized package.
Waypoints System
Create, rename, color-code, and delete named waypoints with one keybind. Waypoint beacons are visible through terrain. Supports per-dimension and per-server waypoint sets.
Entity Radar
See mobs, players, and items on the minimap in real time. Configure exactly which entity types are shown, their colors, and their render distance — fully customizable.
Cave Mode
Switch to Cave Mode to render underground cave systems and mineshafts in a separate height-slice layer. Never get lost in a cave or strip mine again.
Nether & End Support
Full terrain mapping and waypoints work in both the Nether and the End. Dimensions are tracked separately, so your base coords stay organized across all three worlds.
Highly Customizable
Adjust size, position, zoom, rotation, opacity, shape, and colors via an in-game GUI. Free-drag positioning lets you place the minimap exactly where you want it.
Lightweight & Fast
The rendering pipeline is aggressively optimized for minimal FPS impact. Smooth on mid-range hardware. No lag spikes when chunks load, even at high render distances.
Multi-Language Support
Translated into dozens of languages by the community, making Xaero's Minimap accessible to Minecraft players worldwide regardless of their native language.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about installing and using Xaero's Minimap Fabric mod for Minecraft.
To install Xaero's Minimap, first download and run Fabric Loader for your Minecraft version. Then grab the Xaero's Minimap mod JAR from the Download section above and drop it into your
.minecraft/mods folder. Launch Minecraft using the Fabric profile — the minimap will appear automatically. Press Y in-game to open the Xaero's Minimap settings and configure size, position, zoom, and more.
To move Xaero's Minimap, press Y in-game to open the settings menu, then go to Minimap Settings → Position. You can choose from preset corner positions (top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right) or enable free positioning to drag the minimap anywhere on your screen.
The default Xaero's Minimap keybinds are: Y to open settings, U to open the full-screen world map, B to create a waypoint at your current location, and Z to zoom in/out on the minimap. All keybinds can be remapped in Minecraft's Options → Controls menu.
Yes — Xaero's Minimap is a fully client-side mod. You do not need to install anything on the server. It works on any Minecraft server (vanilla, Paper, Spigot, etc.) as long as you have it installed in your Fabric client. Some features like waypoint teleportation require server-side permission, but the minimap and entity radar work everywhere.
Yes, Xaero's Minimap is fully compatible with Cobblemon. Both mods run on Fabric and work together without any conflicts. Xaero's Minimap displays terrain, waypoints, and entity radar normally in Cobblemon worlds and servers. It's a very popular combination for Cobblemon modpacks.
Xaero's Minimap is a Fabric mod and does not run alongside OptiFine, which is incompatible with Fabric. For similar visual enhancements on Fabric, use Sodium for performance and Iris Shaders for shaders — Xaero's Minimap works perfectly with both.
Xaero's Minimap has Fabric releases for a wide range of Minecraft versions. The Download section above covers builds for 1.21.4, 1.21.5, 1.21.6, 1.21.8, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, and earlier versions including 1.20.1. Always match the mod version to your exact Minecraft version for best compatibility.
