How to Use

Use /minimap to open the settings menu.

Customize your map's size, shape, orientation, placement, appearance, markers, and information panel.

Choose between three terrain modes:

- Auto — Automatically switches between surface and cave views.

- Surface — Always displays the surface map.

- Cave — Always displays nearby underground terrain.

Cave maps use a fixed 2× zoom for clearer navigation. Your selected surface zoom is restored when returning above ground in Auto mode.

Press Save to apply your settings. Changes remain a draft until saved.

Configuration

Green Minimap provides an in-game settings GUI with dedicated tabs for map customization, appearance, positioning, markers, and information display.

Available options include map sizing, zoom, orientation, border styling, compass visibility, entity markers, marker scaling, and screen positioning.

The optional information panel can display coordinates, direction, chunk, zone, biome, world, weather, day/time, health, stamina, oxygen, mana, signature energy, game mode, and player count.

Fit Background to Text adjusts the information panel to fit its enabled content.

Settings are saved separately for each player and are preserved between sessions.

Installation

1. Place the mod .jar inside: AppData\Roaming\Hytale\UserData\Mods
2. Enable the mod inside of your world settings.
3. Start or restart the server/world.

For dedicated multiplayer servers, place the JAR inside the server's mods folder and restart the server.

Use /minimap to open the settings menu.

Important Notes

- Cave rendering uses nearby loaded terrain and does not force distant terrain to load.

- Previously available terrain remains visible while replacement map tiles load.

- Hostile mobs are displayed with red markers, while passive or defensive mobs use green markers.

- Entity markers fade when moving outside the nearby height range to reduce clutter between cave levels.

- Existing Hytale map markers are managed through the normal world map.

- Reset All resets draft settings. Press Save to keep the changes.

- Optional plugin logging and diagnostics are disabled by default.
