About this Mod
Location Display Mod
A location display system for Minecraft that shows players their current area at the top of their screen. Works well for servers with shopping districts, themed areas, player shops, and points of interest.
Heavily inspired by the Origin Realms location system. The core concept isn't mine, but all the code and assets are written from scratch. I'm still pretty new to modding so development may be slow — open to collaboration if anyone's interested.
All releases on Modrinth.
Overview
Adds a location indicator to the HUD that automatically updates as you move between defined regions — from "Wilderness" to "Shopping District" to individual shop names.

Location Tooltip server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Location Tooltip compatible with fabric?
Location Tooltip officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Location Tooltip – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Location Tooltip consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
