Xaero's Minimap

Xaero's Minimap is a utility mod created by xaero96. A lightweight minimap mod with entity radar, waypoint management, cave maps, and a customizable display position. As a utility mod it concentrates on quality-of-life and convenience, and it has been downloaded around 130 million times, which puts it among the options players reach for in this space.

Xaero's Minimap is built for players who want a configurable corner minimap with waypoints. It shows nearby terrain, entities, and waypoints in a customisable minimap and pairs directly with Xaero's World Map for full coverage. 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.

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

Xaero's Minimap 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 JourneyMap and VoxelMap. They cover comparable ground, so the right choice usually comes down to your loader, version, and the rest of your pack.
