Odyssey Map
What Odyssey Map is
Odyssey Map is a free, open-source minimap and fullscreen map mod for Minecraft. Its minimap can be shown as a circle or square and set to rotate with North-Up or Heading-Up orientation. Players can create and organize custom markers, while the mod also records death locations and can track a bed and spawn point. Configuration options include HUD placement and size, transparency, marker visibility, zoom, map shape, and terrain colors.
The mod is client-side, so multiplayer servers do not need it installed. The listing names Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge, and describes support for singleplayer, multiplayer, dedicated servers, and large modpacks. It also says Odyssey Map supports shaders. NightBeam Studio, which describes itself as a small studio making Minecraft mods and worlds, is linked to the project. The mod is licensed under Apache-2.0, with listed game versions 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 26.1.2, and 26.2. Cave maps are not currently supported. Downloads, GitHub issue reporting, and a Discord community are linked from the project. Planned additions include waypoint categories, more minimap themes, team markers, and improved fullscreen map tools.
