Coordinates and Facing

Turn on the coordinates line to see X/Y/Z plus your chunk position. The chunk coordinates matter because many structures and slime chunks align to chunk boundaries. The facing/yaw readout tells you which direction you are looking, which helps when following a bearing to a distant target.

Biome Display

Enable the biome line and it updates as you cross biome borders. This is invaluable when:

  • Searching for a specific biome to find its structures or mobs.
  • Checking whether you have wandered into a biome where a certain wood or plant grows.
  • Verifying that a farm is built inside the correct biome for villager or mob behavior.

Walk in a straight line and watch the biome name change — you can map biome edges quickly without any external tool.

Combining Lines for Exploration

Stack coordinates, biome, and light level together while caving or exploring. The coordinates let you mark a spot to return to, the biome confirms you are still in the right region, and the light level warns you about dark pockets where mobs will spawn. Because everything is client-side, this works on any server that allows the mod, and nothing is sent to the server — it is purely a local readout of information your client already has.
