Configuration

  • Config file location: minecraft-base-folder/config/waig.config
  • A default configuration is generated when the mod is started for the first time or if the config file is missing
  • hud-show-mode: config key to enable the compass HUD only in certain circumstances (default: always)
    • if set to always the HUD will always be displayed
    • if set to inventory the HUD will be displayed only if the player carries a compass in the inventory
    • if set to hand the HUD will be displayed only if the player holds a compass in the main hand or off-hand
  • compass-items: config key to list all items that count as compass equivalent. When hud-show-mode is set toinventory or hand, the mod checks if any of the listed items are in the inventory or held, and if so will show the HUD.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does WAIG: Where Am I Going need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks WAIG: Where Am I Going as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does WAIG: Where Am I Going require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

WAIG: Where Am I Going is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
