Xaero's Minimap is a free mod for Minecraft Java that shows nearby terrain, players, mobs, items, and other entities in a screen corner. Its map can be a rotating square or circle, and users can lock rotation or choose whether nearby entities appear as colored dots or icons. Waypoints mark locations or coordinates on the minimap and in the game world, with optional teleportation. Cave mode shows blocks both above and below ground. The mod is mostly client-sided, though server installation can add features such as world identification. The maker offers full and fair-play editions, with the latter intended for fair PVP and multiplayer server rules. Supported loaders are Forge, Quilt, and Fabric; listed game versions include 1.20, 1.19.4, 1.18.2, 1.17.1, 1.16.5, and 1.15.2. It can work with Xaero's World Map and show claims and allies from Open Parties and Claims. The maker points users to guides for installation help.
