Where does the compass ribbon appear on my screen?
The compass ribbon displays as a horizontal bar, typically positioned at the top or bottom of your screen depending on your configuration. It shows cardinal directions (N, S, E, W) and your current XYZ coordinates.
Can I move the compass ribbon to a different location?
Yes, you can customize the position through the mod's configuration options. Access your mod config folder and adjust the position settings to place the ribbon where it doesn't interfere with your gameplay or other HUD elements.
Does the compass ribbon show my exact coordinates?

Can I hide the compass ribbon temporarily without disabling the mod?

Does the compass ribbon work in all dimensions?
The compass ribbon displays your coordinates in all dimensions (Overworld, Nether, End), though cardinal directions remain consistent based on your player orientation regardless of dimension.
Is this mod compatible with other HUD mods?
Compass Ribbon Mod is designed to be minimalist and unobtrusive, so it generally works well alongside other HUD mods. If you experience conflicts, adjust the position settings to prevent overlap with other elements.
How do I use the coordinates to find my way back to my base?
