Minimap mod, anyone?
Follow these instructions on getting Xaero's Minimap mod working in the game:
1. Download and install Fabric:
https://fabricmc.net/use/installer/This is enables mod support for Minecraft.
The installer will create a new profile for Minecraft, make sure you select this profile in your launcher.
Go into your
%appdata%.minecraft/ folder and find the mods folder. If you don't see it, create it.
2. Download this
pre-packaged zip file which contains all the stuff you need, plus extra's. Place the contents of the zip file in the mods folder inside your .minecraft folder. The zip file contains the following:
- Fabric API, required mod for all the stuff below
- Xaero's Minimap mod, the mod proper
- Xaero's Worldmap mod, allows full screen map view
- Lithium, a general-purpose optimization mod for Minecraft which works to improve a number of systems (game physics, mob AI, block ticking, etc) without changing any behavior
- Sodium, a free and open-source rendering engine replacement for the Minecraft client which greatly improves frame rates and stuttering while fixing many graphical issues
- Phosphor, a mod which works to optimize one of game's most inefficient areas-- the lighting engine
The last 3 mods are optional and you may choose not to install them, which is totally fine.
