Navigating with the On-Screen Compass Ribbon

Identifying Cardinal Directions

Once the mod is running in your Fabric game, you will see a simple compass ribbon displayed directly on your heads-up display. As you look around and change your player's facing angle, the ribbon automatically slides to indicate your current orientation.

• Turn your character slowly left or right to observe the ribbon moving in real time.
• Look for the cardinal points (north, south, east, and west) as they align with the center of the ribbon indicator.
• Face directly toward a cardinal point whenever you need to explore or travel in a straight, predictable line across biomes.

Maintaining Your Heading

Using the ribbon allows you to stay oriented across vast terrain without needing to craft or hold a traditional vanilla compass in your hotbar or offhand.

• Note the direction you depart from your base (for example, traveling directly east).
• Regularly check the center marker on the ribbon while walking, sprinting, or boating to ensure you have not drifted off course.
• When it is time to head back, simply turn your character 180 degrees to face the opposite cardinal direction (such as west if you originally headed east) to guide yourself straight home.
