About this Mod

Compass to Map: Xaero's edition

Auto-registers the structures and biomes you find with Explorer's Compass and Nature's Compass as permanent Xaero's Minimap waypoints — no prompt, no edit screen, the waypoint just appears.

Find a structure or biome with Explorer's Compass / Nature's Compass and you normally have to add the coordinates to Xaero's by hand. This addon does it silently, the instant you find it.

Features

  • Auto-waypoints structures (Explorer's Compass) and biomes (Nature's Compass), or both
  • A brand-purple waypoint that doesn't clash with your other Xaero colours
  • Operators get a clickable /tp suggestion in the discovery message; survival players just see the coordinates
  • Duplicate-proof — re-discovering the same structure won't add a second waypoint
  • No items, blocks, or textures, and it won't crash if Xaero's is absent (it has zero compile-time reference to Xaero's and reaches it by reflection that no-ops on absence or an API change)

Config (config/compasstomapxaeros-common.toml, or the Mod Settings GUI)

  • feature.enableStructure / feature.enableBiome — toggle each compass
  • notification.notifyOnFound — chat notification on discovery (waypoint registration is independent)

Dependencies

Install on the server and on each client — the server detects discoveries and sends each one to the right player, whose client adds the waypoint. For the JourneyMap version, see the sister mod Compass to Map.
