🗺️ Supported Maps

Buried Treasure Maps

Vanilla buried treasure maps with the familiar red X marker are supported automatically.

Hold the map and the distance to its target will appear on your HUD.

Explorer Maps

Vanilla explorer maps are also supported, including maps leading to:

• Woodland Mansions
• Ocean Monuments
• Trial Chambers
• Villages
• Jungle Temples
• Swamp Huts

Wandering Trader Maps

Built-in support is included for Wandering Trader Maps by lullaby6.

Treasure Distance Info reads the custom map data and target coordinates provided by the mod to display the distance just like a supported vanilla map.

🧩 Modded Map Support

Treasure Distance Info can also work with compatible maps added by other mods.

For a modded map to be detected automatically, its target coordinates need to be stored using Minecraft's MAP_DECORATIONS component.

This allows compatible map mods to work without requiring a dedicated integration for every individual map.

📏 Distance Calculation

The displayed value represents the horizontal distance between you and the map target.

Your vertical position is not included in the calculation.

This gives you a simple indication of whether you're getting closer while travelling toward your destination.

⚙️ Configuration

Treasure Distance Info includes client-side options for customizing the HUD.

You can configure:

• Enable / Disable HUD
• Show / Hide unknown targets
• HUD X offset
• HUD Y offset
• Text scale

This makes it easy to position the distance readout alongside other HUD elements or adjust its size to match your setup.

🖥️ Client-Side Only

Acidglow's Treasure Distance Info is a client-side mod.

For multiplayer, only players who want to use the distance HUD need to install it.

The server does not need the mod installed.

🧭 Built for Exploration

Treasure Distance Info doesn't replace Minecraft's maps or navigation.

It simply gives you one extra piece of useful information while exploring:

How far do I still have to go?

Hold the map. Follow the marker. Find the treasure.

📦 Modpack Friendly

Feel free to include Acidglow's Treasure Distance Info in both public and private modpacks.

No additional permission is required.

Because the mod is client-side only, it also works well as an optional quality-of-life addition to modpacks.
