Northkeep is a lightweight Fabric client mod that helps you stay visually aligned: lock your current look direction as a reference, then read how far you’ve drifted in degrees on a small, unobtrusive HUD. No waypoints, no server packets—just a calm compass for builders and explorers who don’t want to spam F3.

Features

Heading lock — capture your current horizontal facing (yaw) as the reference “north”.
Drift HUD — shows signed angle offset (Δ°) plus a simple bar so you can correct your aim at a glance.
Smooth needle — optional smoothing in config for less jittery motion.
Persistent lock — your saved heading is written locally so it survives game restarts (still client-only).
Per-corner HUD — place the panel in any screen corner via config.
English & German UI strings (game language).

Config files live in your instance config folder:

northkeep-client.properties — HUD on/off, colors, padding, bar size, smoothing, corner placement, etc.
Press F9 in-game to reload without restarting.
northkeep-heading.txt — stores the locked yaw when set (auto-managed). If the properties file is missing, it is created with sensible defaults on first launch.
