Customizing the Action Bar Coordinate Format

Locating the Display Configuration

Open your server directory and locate the file at plugins/CompassCoords/config.yml. Look for the text setting, which controls the action bar message sent to players holding a compass.

Formatting Text and Placeholders

You can rearrange the text using any combination of available placeholders:

  • %x, %y, %z: Player coordinates rounded to integers.
  • %dx, %dy, %dz: Player coordinates formatted with one decimal place.
  • %world: The name of the player's current world.
  • %yaw, %pitch: Player rotation angles as integers (or %dyaw and %dpitch for one decimal place).
  • %dir: The cardinal direction label calculated from your yaw.

Color codes can be added using & (such as &6 for gold or &r to reset) or standard § symbols. For example, to show decimal positions and the current world name, set:

text: "&6%world%&r | &eX:&r %dx &eY:&r %dy &eZ:&r %dz"

Applying Your Changes

Save the config.yml file and restart your server. The next time a player holds a compass in their main hand or off-hand, the action bar will reflect your new format and color styling.
