Xaero's World Map

Xaero's World Map is a utility mod created by xaero96. A fullscreen world map companion to Xaero's Minimap showing explored terrain with waypoints and cave layer navigation. As a utility mod it concentrates on quality-of-life and convenience, and it has been downloaded around 110 million times, which puts it among the options players reach for in this space.

Xaero's World Map is built for explorers who want a persistent full-screen map of everywhere they have been. It records explored chunks into a zoomable world map and shares waypoints with Xaero's Minimap for a complete navigation setup. 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 World Map works particularly well alongside Xaero's Minimap. 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 World Map 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 Antique Atlas. They cover comparable ground, so the right choice usually comes down to your loader, version, and the rest of your pack.
