- Search for Minecraft structures by ID
- Google Maps-style direction arrow
- Distance and turn prompts while travelling
- In-game map UI with a search box at the top
- Nearby terrain display based on loaded chunks
- Player markers on the map
- Target marker for your selected destination
- Singleplayer support
- Multiplayer support when installed on both client and server
Map UI
Press G to open the navigation map.
The map screen includes:
- Search box for structure IDs
- Search, Clear, and Close buttons
- Nearby terrain map
- Player markers
- Destination marker
- Direction labels for north, south, east, and west
After searching for a structure, the mod shows a target marker on the map and a rotating HUD arrow while you travel.
Operator Features
Server operators can control their visibility on the map.
/gmaps hideHides you from all map player markers, including maps viewed by other operators.
/gmaps showMakes you visible on the map again.
/gmaps togglehideToggles between hidden and visible.
Operators can also click visible player markers on the map to teleport directly to that player. Hidden players cannot be teleported to from the map.
Multiplayer
For multiplayer servers, this mod must be installed on both the client and the server.
The server handles:
- Structure searching
- Operator permission checks
- Hidden player syncing
- Map teleport validation
This keeps operator tools secure and prevents client-side abuse.
Requirements
- Minecraft Java Edition 26.1.2
- Fabric Loader 0.19.2 or newer
- Fabric API
- Java 25 or newer
Notes
The terrain map displays nearby loaded terrain around the player. It is not an infinite world map, and unexplored/unloaded areas may not appear until chunks are loaded.
Structure search depends on Minecraft’s generated structure data and may take a moment depending on the world and server.
