About the mod

GUI Compass is a minimalistic configurable client-side mod which shows the direction and coordinates in the GUI with a compass in the inventory. By default the compass is positioned in the top left, but you can change that and the height in the config.

The format of what is visible on the screen can be changed via the 'guiCompassFormat' config value.


Default format: Direction: X, Y, Z
