BetterCompass
BetterCompass is a lightweight, configurable Spigot/Paper plugin that hides coordinates from the F3 debug screen and instead shows them neatly in the action bar when the player holds a compass — in either hand.
✨ Features
- Hides coordinates from the F3 debug menu (
gamerule reducedDebugInfo) - Displays coordinates (
X: Y: Z:) in the action bar when holding a compass (main or off-hand) - Fully customizable action bar text format and colors
- Commands to reload configuration and toggle F3 coordinates globally
- Admin-only commands with configurable permissions
- Lightweight and optimized for all modern Spigot/Paper versions (1.16+)
