Batty's Coordinates PLUS! Mod for Forge
Batty's Coordinates PLUS! Mod for Forge
NOTE: This mod runs with Minecraft Forge.
If you want a version that runs without Forge, see this page.
Combines Batty's Coordinates & Stopwatch Timer
Batty's Coordinates
The X, Y and Z coordinates that locate the player's position in the world are normally displayed on the F3 Debug screen.
This mod has a number of display modes that present this information, and more, discreetly in a corner of the main game screen, so you don't have to leave F3 open to see them.
In Mode 0 the Coordinates are hidden.
Mode 1 shows the X, Y and Z coordinates, and it also indicates the direction that you are facing, in compass-direction terms.
Mode 2 adds an indication whether your X and Z coordinates will Increase or Decrease if you move in the direction you are facing.
Mode 3 also shows the Biome that you are currently in, displayed below the coordinates.
Mode 4 adds the Minecraft Day counter, shown as 'dy'.
Mode 5 replaces the normal X, Y and Z coordinates with Chunk information:
This shows which Chunk you are in, and which Block within that Chunk
The display appears with the Chunk being denoted by a 'c' and the Block by a 'b', for example:
- means:
- X = Block 9 within Chunk -10
- Z = Block 0 within Chunk 2
Batty's Stopwatch Timer
A discreet timer tucked away in a corner of the screen, that you can hide, reappear, stop, start and zero using key presses.
Can be used to time activities in-game. Useful for speed challenges.
Shows the time passed in hours, minutes and seconds.
Colour-coded so you know at a glance if it is stopped or running.
Info Panel
This display will show either the FPS, the Block Light-level or the Moon phase. You can switch between these at the press of a button.
FPS Display
The Frames per Second that the game is running at is displayed in a corner of the screen.
Block Light-level
The block light (i.e. artificial light reaching this block) of the block the player is standing on is displayed
Moon phase
An icon, showing the current phase of the moon, is displayed.
Video Spotlight
A Mod Spotlight (covering all variations of my mods) by EddCase and OddyC of TheMobCave.

Custom Colours
Important
From versions 1.11.2_003 and 1.12.0_003, Batty's Coordinates PLUS Mod for Forge now uses the Forge configuration system, allowing the colours to be customised by going to the Mod Options screen in-game. From these versions onwards the BatMod.properties - described below - is no longer used.
The Mod Options settings are stored in a Forge configurations file in the /config folder. This file is called coordinatesplusmod.cfg.
[N.B. in 1.14 this filename has changed again. It is now coordinatesplusmod-client.toml]
You can customise the colours in which Batty's Coordinates and Timer appear on the screen.
This done by creating a small file called BatMod.properties in your .minecraft folder.
If this file is not present, the displays all appear in the default colours.
The following lines are permitted in the file:
- Coords.shade = <true or false>
- Coords.chars.Increase = <any character>
- Coords.chars.Decrease = <any character>
- Coords.colours.TitleText = <colour from the list>
- Coords.colours.PosCoordText = <colour from the list>
- Coords.colours.NegCoordText = <colour from the list>
- Coords.colours.PosChunkText = <colour from the list>
- Coords.colours.NegChunkText = <colour from the list>
- Coords.colours.CoordText = <colour from the list>
- Coords.colours.CompassText = <colour from the list>
- Coords.colours.BiomeText = <colour from the list>
- Coords.copy.tpFormat = <true or false>
- Timer.shade = <true or false>
- Timer.colours.Stopped = <colour from the list>
- Timer.colours.Running = <colour from the list>
- Info.shade = <true or false>
- Info.colours.FPS = <colour from the list>
- Info.colours.Bright = <colour from the list>
- Info.colours.Dim = <colour from the list>
- Info.colours.Moon = <colour from the list>
NOTE 1: PosCoordText and NegCoordText can be used to distinguish positive and negative coordinates from each other by giving them different colours
NOTE 2: You can still use CoordText, and this will override anything you put in PosCoordText and NegCoordText
NOTE 3: You can choose the character that indicates whether your coordinates are increasing or decreasing in the X or Z directions. By default these are '+' and '-', but by use of Coords.chars.Increase or .Decrease you can substitute another character.
NOTE 4: You can choose the colours that the Chunk Coordinates display, positive and negative
NOTE 5: You can decide to copy the Coordinates to your clipboard in standard format "x=999, y=99, z=999" or in /tp command format "999 99 999" by the Coords.copy.tpFormat parameter. Setting this to true will make it use the /tp command format.
NOTE 6: Info.colours.Dim chooses the colour that light-levels of 7 and below will display, while Info.colours.Bright chooses the colour that light-level of 8 and above will display.
The full list of recognised colours:
(*Note* that you must type all of the entries exactly as they appear here - capitals and lowercase - or they will be ignored and the default colours will be used by the game)

Hey Batty. not necessarily new to mods but its been several years since i really got into Minecraft. Came back to check out all the new stuff and decided to try my hand at getting your mod. After a few hours of searching and trial and error-ing, i downloaded Minecraft Forge and got it running with no issues. Then I downloaded your mod from the page above and placed it in the Mods folder like your guide at the bottom says to do. However, I was unsure what you meant by "Check that Batty's Coordinates PLUS! for Forge has been recognised as an External Mod". So, I just started up the launcher and tried to get into game. The game appears to load up ok but errors and stops and says this...
Error says,
"Error loading mods
1 error has occurred during loading"
"Batty's Coordinates Plus Mod for Forge (coordinatesplusmod) has failed to load correctly"
After some searching online, my version of forge is the newest(28.1.0) that just released last week(6 days ago from the time of this post). I'm wondering if that has anything to do with the error? Other than that point of information, I have no idea wtf is goin on.. lol
Any help would be appreciated. thanks!
In reply to TheCasualGamer2385:
I also thought they might have broken something when they released Forge version 1.14.4-28.1.0, so I tried it - and Batty's Mod seems to work fine.
(However, Optifine crashes if you have that in your mods folder.)
Could I ask if you have any other mods in your mods folder?
Also could you confirm the exact version of Batty's that you have downloaded, please.
Thanks
Batty
In reply to BatHeart:
Batty's mod is the only mod I am using. in game it says 2, but i haven't put any but yours in the mod folder.

Thanks for helping me help my stupid self. lol

In reply to TheCasualGamer2385:
Ah. No worries. Yes, I had to bring out that new version when Forge did exactly what we thought they had done with 28.1.0 - i.e. break all mods !
Glad you're ok now - also glad I don't have another fix to do!
Batty
In reply to BatHeart:
for sure!
CHEERS!
TheCasualGamer
hey batty! i'm new to mods so maybe i've just bungled the installation but when i open minecraft with forge it runs 1.12.2? How can I get it to work in 1.14.2? thanks
In reply to redaintawesome:
You really need to ask the Forge people, not me. But I'll tell you what I do know.
When you install Forge you get a version of minecraft called "forge (1.14.4-forge-28.0.45)" - or whatever version of forge you've installed. You must run the version that says "... 1.14.4..." and not any other version that you find.
If you can't find one that is called "...1.14.4..." then your Forge installation hasn't worked.
Hi, im currently using the 1.8.9 version, the thing is that my keyboard has no numpad and i can't really see where should I rebind the option of scrolling through modes (numpad 4), I have browsed through the config files and tried to use the onscreen keyboard but haven't found a solution, what should I do?
In reply to narcomau:
You can always change the keymappings within Minecraft just by going into Options... => Controls... and you will see the various "Batty's" keys (usually right at the top of the list, in 1.8.9) You can then change these to any other unused key.
currently when you have set all the locations they do not stay when you reopen the application they are sent back to default and you have to manually change them each time
In reply to twiisted_studios:
That's strange. It's working fine for me.
Which version are you using? (It was a problem with the 1.13 version, but it's been fixed in the 1.14 versions)
The mod stores this information in a file - BatMod.runtime - which is in the main .minecraft folder. Check for that file, and see if it's being updated when you play.
In reply to BatHeart:
im playing on 1.14.4 and using forge 28.0.45 i believe the latest one is and the file you are mentioning just had open in xcode to watch the data changing as i move them that is correct the data does be modiefed as playing however the data valued that get stored in the file do stay the same as you last set them, but the strange thing the mod doesnt default the settings when you re open the client, however they stay as they are but your layout is being reverted to the default layout while the data in the file stays the same as the ones you set before the client closed, untill you change the data to set them again they look like they should be in the correct place acording to the data in the file they just somehow are not.
In reply to twiisted_studios:
Well that is truly weird! That is absolutely not the way it behaves when I run it.
If I change a location, or a display type, or run the timer, then the new values are written away to the file and they are read back from the file the next time I enter the game - and used to put things in the correct positions on screen.
I have just tested it again using forge 28.0.45 without any problem.
You hardly need to confirm to me the version of Batty's you are using. It must be 1.14.4_0.1.1. If it were an earlier version, it would crash on startup, because forge changed something in 28.0.45 that broke a lot of mods that were written for earlier versions.
I'm afraid I can't guess what your problem must be. Hopefully no-one else reports the same issue, and it will turn out to be some glitch with your set-up.
I suppose I could recommend a clean test:
Sorry. That's all I can suggest.
In reply to BatHeart:
ok so i have tersted this out it seems to work 100 percent as intended on single player worlds but the second you go into servers it doesnt work as intended
In reply to twiisted_studios:
Ah! Thank you for mentioning that. I will investigate.
Maybe there is a different Forge 'event' that I should be using on SMP.
Batty
In reply to BatHeart:
I think I have found a solution to this now, but it required changing a few bits of code that may have 'unforeseen effects' (i.e. fixing this may screw up something else!) so I'll have to test it out for a few days before I can trust it enough to release it.
If anyone's interested in the details ... I was using an event called onPlayerLogin. Now who would have guessed that this only runs when a player logs into a single-player world, and not a multi-player server!?
Stay tuned for news of the new release in a few days.
Batty
In reply to twiisted_studios:
I believe this is fixed in version 1.14.4_0.2.0, available now.

In reply to BatHeart:
oh sweet ill have to give it a try now thank you :)
Hi Batty,
I'm having an issue where everything is working, except the copy coordinate feature?
I press 7 on the numpad (with numlock on), and nothing happens, even after I press CTRL+V to paste.
Checked the key in controls and it is the correct key.
Is this a bug?
All the best,
tr3more.
In reply to tr3more:
Hi tr3more
Yes, I'm afraid I haven't been able to get that feature working in any of the 1.13 or 1.14 versions.
Something has changed - possibly in Minecraft but possibly in Windows - and the game crashes when you try to copy to the system clipboard.
For the moment, I've put some 'protective code' around it, so if it notices it's about to crash, it does nothing instead.
I'll be looking for a solution.
If I can't find one, I'll probably have to remove that feature.
Regards
Batty
