JourneyMap

JourneyMap is a utility mod created by techbrew. A real-time mapping mod that renders explored terrain as a minimap and fullscreen map with waypoints and mob tracking. As a utility mod it concentrates on quality-of-life and convenience, and it has been downloaded around 200 million times, which puts it among the options players reach for in this space.

JourneyMap is built for explorers who want a polished real-time minimap and full-screen world map. It maps terrain as you travel, supports waypoints, and offers an in-browser map view, all rendered client-side so it does not affect the server. It is approachable enough to drop into a world and use right away, with little setup required.

The mod is available for Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge, so it fits a range of modpacks and launchers. It currently supports Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.20.4, and 1.21.1, spanning the 1.20.1 to 1.21.1 releases. It is a client-side mod, which means you can add it to your own game for personal benefit even when the server you join does not run it.

JourneyMap works particularly well alongside Waystones and Nature's Compass. Because it ships for both Fabric and Forge-family loaders, it slots into most popular modpacks regardless of which side they are built on.

JourneyMap has a modest footprint for what it adds and is widely used in modpacks without notable performance concerns.

If you are comparing options, similar mods include Xaero's Minimap and Xaero's World Map. They cover comparable ground, so the right choice usually comes down to your loader, version, and the rest of your pack.
