Search examples:
minecraft:stronghold
minecraft:village_plains
minecraft:ancient_city
minecraft:mineshaft
minecraft:desert_pyramid

Map UI
Press G to open the navigation map.
The map screen includes:
Search box for structure IDs
Search, Clear, and Close buttons
Nearby terrain map
Player markers
Destination marker
Direction labels for north, south, east, and west
After searching for a structure, the mod shows a target marker on the map and a rotating HUD arrow while you travel.
Operator Features
Server operators can control their visibility on the map.
/gmaps hide
Hides you from all map player markers, including maps viewed by other operators.
/gmaps show
Makes you visible on the map again.
/gmaps togglehide
Toggles between hidden and visible.
Operators can also click visible player markers on the map to teleport directly to that player. Hidden players cannot be teleported to from the map.
Multiplayer
For multiplayer servers, this mod must be installed on both the client and the server.
The server handles:
Structure searching
Operator permission checks
Hidden player syncing
Map teleport validation
This keeps operator tools secure and prevents client-side abuse.
Requirements
Minecraft Java Edition 26.1.2
Fabric Loader 0.19.2 or newer
Fabric API
Java 25 or newer
Notes
The terrain map displays nearby loaded terrain around the player. It is not an infinite world map, and unexplored/unloaded areas may not appear until chunks are loaded.
Structure search depends on Minecraft's generated structure data and may take a moment depending on the world and server.
