Configuring Coordinate Update Speeds and Direction Labels

Adjusting Action Bar Refresh Delay

Open plugins/CompassCoords/config.yml in a text editor and locate the delay key. This setting dictates how frequently the action bar updates, measured in game ticks (20 ticks equal 1 second):

• Default (delay: 5): Updates coordinates roughly four times per second (every 5 ticks).
• Lower delay values: Updates position numbers more frequently for smoother tracking as players run or fly, but may produce noisier action bar updates.
• Higher delay values: Reduces the update frequency, decreasing network traffic at the cost of slight coordinate lag while moving.

Customizing Cardinal Direction Labels

In the same file, locate the directions section. This section maps the 8 compass points used by the %dir placeholder:

• north
• northeast
• east
• southeast
• south
• southwest
• west
• northwest

You can change any label to full words (such as changing "N" to "North") or translate them into another language. Save plugins/CompassCoords/config.yml and restart the server to load the updated refresh timing and direction labels.
