About this Mod
Diegetic
Features
Diegetic adds several in-game means of measuring information that is otherwise only reasonably obtainable outside of the game and with "meta-gaming". The current systems added are:
- Clock: shows time (configurably IRL time)
- Compass: shows coordinates
- Recovery Compass: shows relative coordinates
- Slimeball: shows if you're in a slime-chunk
The items used to measure information may be subject to change.
