About this Mod
Immersive Minimaps
A minimalist, client-side minimap that integrates Hoofprint into the player's UI, allowing it to only be visible as long as the player has a map.
This mod pairs well with my Immersive Overlays mod to display more information in the HUD.
Features
A minimap overlay displaying the player's surroundings is visible whenever the player has a map in their inventory, including in a bundle. This minimap shows nearby Surveyor landmarks and any nearby players that are sharing their map with you.
Items in the minimap list can also be used on a block to place a waypoint. Clicking the block again removes the landmark.
Items in the minimap list can also be used to open the Hoofprint world map.
This mod will also adjust the requirements to open Hoofprint's world map to match Immersive Minimaps.
