Immersive Minimaps

by cassiancc · on CurseForge

A minimalist, client-side minimap that integrates Hoofprint into the player's UI, allowing it to only be visible as long as the player has a map.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Immersive Minimaps

A minimalist, client-side minimap that integrates Hoofprint into the player's UI, allowing it to only be visible as long as the player has a map.

This mod pairs well with my Immersive Overlays mod to display more information in the HUD.

FAQ

Will this mod be ported to other versions/loaders?
- Immersive Minimaps is available for all versions that Surveyor 1.0.0 has been released for - 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.8, and 26.1. Neither this mod nor Hoofprint are natively available on NeoForge, but both can be used through Sinytra Connector.
Mod compatibility?
