Making a map in Minecraft can be a tough prospect, especially when you’re just starting off in a new world and it is one of the items you desperately need. That’s a brutal kind of irony when you think about it, but thankfully there are some mods that can alleviate the grief of getting lost in your hundredth new world, or whatever the number might be. Xaero’s Minimap mod gives players a miniature map with a bird’s eye view of their current location and their immediate surroundings. It is essentially the exact same minimap system from the Better PVP Mod, only as a standalone feature.
This is great news for players who have been banned from online servers for using the Better PVP Mod and it is good news even for the ones who haven’t because it gives a reliable, easy-to-read map which is always present. The location of the map can be moved to various corners of the screen, and it works both above and below ground level, seamlessly switching from a surface view to a cave view. Mobs will show up as yellow dots, players as white, usable items as red and other things like picture frames and arrows will appear as purple dots. Xaero’s Minimap mod could be the best map mod in Minecraft today.

I’m having trouble getting this to work. I dragged the mod into the “Mods” folder & haven’t got it..
i drag the mod into mods folder and it loads fine but when its done the screen turns white and just stays
same here
I have same problem. When I click it crashes but if I hit escape when screen is white it will end up loading fine.
Maybe your using some uncompatible mods?
did you use the forge profile
you put it in the shader floder not mod floder
oh sorry wrong mod
make sure your minecraft, your forge and your the mod that you are trying to download are the same version i made that mistake last time.. and make sure u actually have forge…
Did u have forge?
Me too. Of course I have forge! How else can I install the mod?
I just installed the mod, I have forge and I just get a white screen also please help.
I’m also experiencing the white screen problem.
just hit esc it fixed it for me
I would like to help but only if you give me a sexy girl.
get my bro one too
This website SUCKS. Every time I try to click on a link to download any mod, it takes me to Adfly.com so I can download some shit called ODM. Anyone know a place that IS NOT FAKE to download this mod?
Thanks.
Adf.ly is used to help the developer of mod to earning, to keep in life the mod.
If you let the timer on the upper right side of the page countdown, the straight download will pop up. Adfly is a known monetary support page for devs. Chill man.
if u look in the top right it shows a skip button after 5 seconds and u click it and it will bring u to the real download
if u look in the top right it shows a skip button after 5 seconds and u click it and it will bring u to the real download…
You could just get Adblock so annoying advertisements don’t hinder your surfing. The developer isn’t missing the four cents he’s getting from advertising on my screen.
White screen fix this is shit.
Is anyone else’s gave crashing everytime they begin to fight a Blaze or a Ghast? I am using the most recent version, I hope this gets fixed in the next one! Love all of the Xaero’s minimap mods(outside of the nether, haha) keep up the good work.
use the stable version of forge, not the latest beta version.
i had the same issue where game crashed when a mob used a fireball.
How to do this
I had the white screen till i tried forge 1.8-11.14.0.1260-1.8, I don’t remember where i found it at but aside from the evil white screen either sophisticated wolves is making random things to craft for me or the map is.
Everyone having the problem with the white screen I have figured out that you need to click the right middle of the screen, there is supposed to be a message that asks if you want to update the mod and in order to get off of the white screen is to find the hidden button. I don’t know why it did this to the game but once you find that “no” button it will take you to the start screen of mc.
Thanks so much!
please
thanks
Yo nice
MODS DO NOT WORK!

its is somewhat laggy but beleive me it is it dropped my fps rates alot D:
Every time i use it it crashes my minecraft and has a core mod error
I´am the same problem
this mod crash me minecraft
Does definitively not work under Minecraft 1.9. Only upcounting the Version number on this web site ist not what the community wants dear developers!
title shows 1.9 but I can’t find the link to the 1.9 download of the map. I already downloaded the 1.9 forge you have listed
Everyone, I tried this mod from this site here too and it wouldn’t work either. So I thought maybe there is something wrong with the version on this site, and I searched and found a version that actually works. Before my game was crashing on start up, now the mod actually loads.
Get the version that working for me here:
minecraft-downloads.com/xaeros-minimap/
Hopefully the link works…
I know what most of the dots on the minimap mean but there are black dots that move really quickly and I can’t figure out what they are. I look at the minimap options and there isn’t anything set to show up as a black dot. What do they represent?
seus virgens !!!!!!!! seus lixo da merda vao bate uma
i can’t download from adf.ly -_-
Reset the page.
good！
