Minimap, Worldmap and waypoints reworked
daniliammo · Native mod
An adaptive minimap and world map with named waypoints, portals, world borders and a biome readout.
Minimap — Horizon mod
Horizon's official minimap: the land around you in vanilla map colours, with your arrow, in a round or square frame.
Looking for a Horizon minimap mod? This is the official one, from the Horizon team. It used to be a toggle in Options > Horizon Extras and became a native mod in 2.0.0. The map is drawn the way a vanilla map item is: the same colours, height shading, water depth and player arrow. So it looks like part of the game rather than a bolt-on overlay. Good for explorers, for anyone who keeps losing the way home, and for players coming from clients that always had a minimap.
Features
- A live map of the area around you in a screen corner, using vanilla's map palette and relief shading.
- In caves, under a roof and in the Nether it maps the floor near your height, which is far more useful in a mine than a map of whatever is overhead.
- Choose the corner and the size.
- Square or round.
- Zoom from 0.5 to 4 blocks per pixel.
- Optionally rotate the map with the player.
Settings: Options > Mods > Minimap > Settings.
Compatibility and install
Native mod, version 2.0.0, for Minecraft 26.3. Install it on your instance's Mods page in the launcher and press Build in the "Native build of …" row. The first native build downloads Rust (20–30 minutes, a few GB of disk); after that, builds are quick. Settings from 1.0.0 carry over. Full steps are in the mod install guide.
Limitations
It does exactly one thing. There are no waypoints, no full-screen world map and no mob radar in its description. If you switch it off in Options > Mods it stops at once, and the next build leaves it out.
Updated:
Versions
| Version | Date | Minecraft | Changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0.0 | 29 October 2026 | 26.3 | Native: built into the game by the launcher on Horizon's native hook points; settings carry over; turn it off in Options Mods. |
How to install
Find the mod in the launcher
Open the Horizon launcher, pick an instance on the left and go to its Mods page. In the Horizon tab, find "Minimap" and press Install.
Build the mods
In the Native build of … row press Build and confirm you trust these mods. The first build downloads Rust and takes 20–30 minutes and a few GB of disk; later builds take a couple of minutes.
Play
Play that instance — your other instances never run the mod. Turn it on and configure it in game under Options → Mods.
FAQ
Does the Horizon minimap work in caves?
Yes. Underground, under a roof and in the Nether it maps the floor around your height rather than the surface above.
How far can it zoom?
From 0.5 to 4 blocks per pixel. Corner, size, shape and rotation are in Options > Mods > Minimap > Settings.
Does it have waypoints or a world map?
Not according to its description. It shows a map in the corner of the screen and nothing else.
How do I install Minimap?
From the Horizon launcher: Mods page → find "Minimap" → Install. The launcher checks the SHA-256 for you. A native mod is then compiled with the Build button — the first build takes 20–30 minutes. The full steps are in "How to install" above.
Which Minecraft version does Minimap support?
The latest version, 2.0.0, targets Minecraft 26.3 on Horizon.
Can I download Minimap from this site?
Yes. Its MIT license allows redistribution, so we host the file, and its SHA-256 matches the official registry.
