How to Use HUD Navigation Overlays with Compasses, Clocks, and Maps

The mod includes built-in HUD overlays that surface navigational information from vanilla navigation items, eliminating the need to constantly inspect item models in your hand.

Enabling Compass and Clock HUD Displays

1. Place a standard vanilla Clock or Compass into your inventory.

2. Move the item into your main hand or your off-hand slot.

3. Look at your in-game head-up display. The mod will automatically project the relevant time or directional information directly on your screen as long as the item remains held.

4. Swap the item out of your active hands whenever you want to hide the overlay.

Tracking Explorer Map Destinations

1. Obtain an explorer map (such as a map pointing to a woodland mansion, ocean monument, or buried treasure).

2. Hold the map in your main hand or off-hand.

3. Read the on-screen distance readouts provided by the mod. Instead of guessing your progress by looking at an off-map icon, the overlay displays the exact horizontal distance remaining to the target structure location, allowing you to gauge your travel time accurately across biomes.
