Xaero’s Minimap Mod FAQ

Press U to open your full waypoint list, where you can view, edit, hide, or delete any waypoint regardless of whether it's shown on screen. Press B to create a new waypoint at your current position.

Press B while standing where you want the waypoint, then name it and pick a color and icon in the menu that appears. You can also open the waypoint list with U and add one manually.

Open the waypoint list with U, select the waypoint, and use the teleport option if cheats or the appropriate permissions are enabled on your world or server. On servers without teleport permission, the option won't work.

Xaero's Minimap automatically creates a deathpoint where you die so you can find your items again. You can rename, recolor, or delete it from the waypoint list like any other waypoint.

In the waypoint list (U), toggle a waypoint's visibility so it stays saved but no longer appears on the minimap or in the world. This is useful for keeping a record without cluttering your view.

Open the mod's settings and adjust the minimap size and position to your liking. You can also toggle which HUD elements, like coordinates or the biome name, are displayed.

Cave Mode switches the minimap to a layer-based view that maps the area around you underground instead of the surface. Enable it when exploring caves or mines so you can see your surroundings without surface terrain getting in the way.

Yes, the minimap works on multiplayer servers and alongside most other mods. Some servers restrict certain features like teleporting to waypoints, so check the server's rules if an option seems unavailable.

The minimap is lightweight, but you can lower its update frequency, reduce its size, or disable entities on the map if you notice performance drops. Cave Mode and large render distances use more resources, so tune those settings on lower-end machines.

Press U to open your waypoint list, where you can view, edit, and manage all saved waypoints and deathpoints. From this screen you can also toggle which waypoints appear on the minimap and in the world.

Press B while standing where you want the waypoint to be marked. A new waypoint is created at your current position, and you can rename it or change its color afterward from the waypoint list.

Xaero's Minimap creates a deathpoint automatically at the location where you died. It shows up in your waypoint list so you can navigate back to recover your items.

The minimap automatically detects when you're below the surface and switches to an underground view, showing nearby caves and tunnels instead of the surface terrain. This helps you keep your bearings while exploring caves and abandoned mineshafts.

Open the mod's settings from the minimap or mod menu and adjust the size and position options to your liking. You can also change what the HUD displays, such as coordinates or the biome name.

Yes, the minimap works on servers, but teleporting to waypoints depends on whether the server allows it. Some servers restrict certain features, so check the server's rules before relying on them.

Running multiple minimap mods at once can cause overlapping HUDs or conflicts, so it's best to use only one at a time. If you use a world map mod alongside it, make sure they're compatible versions of the same mod family.

The mod is generally lightweight, but performance can drop if you set a very large minimap size or enable many HUD features. If you notice lag, try reducing the minimap size or turning off optional display elements.
