Xaero's Minimap

Do not use XaeroPlus with this mod! It is not affiliated with me and causes critical untrackable bugs/crashes. It is also allegedly affiliated with a server griefing group, which can put your server builds at risk.

FAQ

Why are entity radar icons enabled but render weirdly or just as dots with names for vanilla mobs?

This can happen when using a mod + resource pack combination that modifies the models and/or animations of vanilla mobs. This breaks compatibility with the minimap mod's model-based icon rendering code because the models are no longer the same. You can either remove the resource pack causing this or install another resource pack which contains radar icon sprites for all vanilla mobs, for example the following one: Xaero Minimap X Fresh Animations

Why does waypoint teleportation not work for me?

Why are my waypoints no longer shown for a specific server?

How do I add my own entity icons or override the default ones?

How do I prohibit the use of cave mode and/or entity radar on my server?

To do that, please install the mod on the server side (requires a NeoForge/Forge/Fabric/Quilt server as of writing this).

If your minimap version is at least 25.3.0, then set and use the "Minimap Server Settings" key binding to open server settings. You can enforce almost any option there, including Cave Mode, Entity Radar or even create custom entity radar categories.

On older mod versions, when you start your server, a new "common" config file will be created in the server directory (not the world folder), usually in the "config" folder. In the config file, you get multiple options that let you disable certain mod features for your players. Changes require a server restart.

Alternatively, if you can't install the mod, you can include the following strings in a server/system message sent to players (on login), which do the following:

§f§a§i§r§x§a§e§r§o - causes the client to disable cave mode (including world map) and entity radar (fair-play mode)

§x§a§e§r§o§m§m§n§e§t§h§e§r§i§s§f§a§i§r - causes minimap cave mode to work in the nether despite the fair-play mode. The world map has a separate code for this that looks almost identical.
