Diorama

A minimap and world map drawn at an angle, like a model of your world on a table. Towers stand up, cliffs have faces and trees cast shadows.
Looking at the castle in the game, the camera rises to the map's angle and the world fades into the map.

Description

Diorama is a minimap and world map that draws your world at an angle, like a little model of it on a table. Towers stand up, cliffs have faces and trees cast shadows.

The game, then the camera rises and the world turns into the map

What you get

  • A minimap in the corner of your choice, square or round, with a compass, your coordinates and the biome.
  • A fullscreen map you can drag and zoom, from single blocks out to about 10,000 blocks across.
  • A map that remembers. Everywhere you've been is saved, so it's still there next time. Places you haven't seen yet sit under drifting fog. Keep several maps of one world and switch between them from the map.
  • Caves and the Nether. Underground, the map shows the cave you're in. In the Nether it looks in under the bedrock roof.
  • A radar that shows players and mobs as their own faces, outlined red, yellow or green for hostile, neutral or passive.
  • Waypoints on the map and floating in the world, with an icon or up to four letters on each pin, a marker where you died, a pin on your bed, folders to sort them, a distance limit for when there are too many, and an [Add] link when someone shares one in chat.
  • A right-click menu on the map to add a waypoint, drop a temporary one, share the spot in chat, or teleport there if you're allowed to use /tp.
  • Drawing on the map. Draw freehand, click out lines, mark areas, leave notes and measure distances. Drawings show on the minimap too.
  • Save the map as an image, an area you pick or the whole map, drawings included.

Keys

Key What it does
M Open the fullscreen map
B Add a waypoint where you're standing
U List your waypoints
= / - Zoom the minimap in and out

On the fullscreen map, drag to move around, scroll to zoom, click a waypoint to edit it and right-click for the menu. C switches to the cave view. The map can also show the chunk grid, slime chunks and where monsters can spawn. Every setting is behind the Settings button on the fullscreen map. On a slower computer, set Quality to Fast.

On servers

Diorama only runs in your game, and servers don't need it. Each world on a server gets its own map and waypoints, even several worlds behind one address, as long as their seeds differ. Servers can limit it with the same rules as Xaero's Minimap.

Works with

  • Xaero's Minimap. Import your waypoints, add waypoints people share in chat, and see far-away players on servers with Xaero's player tracking.
  • Radar icon packs made for Xaero's Minimap work too. You can also make your own.
  • Waystones. Waystones you've found show on the map.
  • Create copycats show as the block they copy.
  • FTB Chunks. Claimed chunks show on the map and minimap.

Requirements

  • Fabric. Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.21 to 1.21.11 or 26.1 to 26.3, with Fabric API.
  • NeoForge. Minecraft 1.21, 1.21.1, 1.21.3, 1.21.4, 1.21.5, 1.21.8, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1.2, 26.2 or 26.3.
  • Forge. Minecraft 1.20.1, with Forge 47.1 or later.
