CRN Backpack Navigator & World Map

CRN Backpack Navigator & World Map adds convenient navigation tools directly to your Minecraft client. Open the Create Railways Navigator directly from your Sophisticated Backpack and access an integrated World Map without needing to carry the Navigator in your hand.

Designed for Create-focused modpacks, the mod combines quick navigation, a configurable keybind system, terrain mapping and waypoint functionality into one lightweight client-side mod.

✨ Features

🚂 Create Railways Navigator

• Open the Create Railways Navigator directly with a hotkey

The World Map is designed as the foundation for a much larger navigation system. Future updates may expand features such as:

• More advanced terrain rendering
• Improved waypoint management

The goal is to eventually provide a complete, integrated navigation system for Create-based Minecraft worlds.
