How do I install Orientation?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on Modrinth — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

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.

Orientation is a fork of TheCritic's Critical Orientation mod with a few changes made to suit my needs, updated to modern Minecraft versions.

Pressing backslash (\) will snap your camera angle to a multiple of 45 degrees. Change the keybind in settings if you so wish. There's also another key (j) which can snap to a configurable angle.

The /align command also allows you to align to an arbitrary amount of degrees.
