Xaero's Minimap Mod - Frequently Asked Questions

How to use Xaero's Minimap?

Xaero's Minimap appears automatically in the top-left corner of your screen once installed. You can create waypoints by pressing 'B' (default key). You can also access a full-screen map with 'M' if you install Xaero's World Map, and customize settings by pressing 'Y'. The minimap shows your location, direction, nearby players, nearby entities/mobs, and terrain features. Right-click the minimap to access quick options like zooming and display toggles.

Why isn't my Xaero's Minimap working?

If Xaero's Minimap isn't working, first ensure you have the correct Minecraft version and mod loader (Forge, NeoForge, or Fabric). Check that the mod file is in your mods folder and that no conflicting mods are installed. If the minimap appears but seems broken, try resetting keybinds in the vanilla control settings, checking for conflicting mods, or reinstalling the mod through the CurseForge app.

Is Xaero's Minimap allowed on servers?

Xaero's Minimap is generally allowed on most servers because it only displays information that players can naturally observe, such as terrain and player positions within render distance. However, server policies vary, so it's recommended to check your specific server's rules before using it. Some servers may restrict certain features like player radar or cave mapping.

Does Xaero's Minimap have a world map?

Yes, but you need to install the Xaero’s World Map mod to access this feature. The world map displays your current location, waypoints, and other players (if enabled), making it perfect for large-scale navigation and planning. You can access it by pressing 'M' (default key) or by clicking the world map button on the minimap interface.

How to download Xaero's Minimap mod?

You can download Xaero's Minimap through the CurseForge app by searching for "Xaero's Minimap" and clicking "Install," which automatically handles mod loader compatibility and installation. Alternatively, visit the mod's CurseForge page directly to download the appropriate version for your Minecraft version and mod loader (Forge, NeoForge, or Fabric), then place the file in your mods folder.
