Where it goes
Is Xaero Iconize required on the client, server, or both?

The source does not explicitly classify this release as client-only or server-only.
What else does Xaero Iconize v1.0.0 need?
Xaero Iconize v1.0.0. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Xaero's Minimap, XaeroLib first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match. 1 comes through another mod in the chain.
1 extra mod was pulled in by another dependency. Indented rows show who needs each one. We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About this project
What does Xaero Iconize add?
Xaero Iconize
Xaero Iconize is a client-side addon for Xaero's Minimap and Xaero's World Map that allows you to use Minecraft items as waypoint icons.
Instead of being limited to waypoint initials, you can choose any registered item from Minecraft or your installed mods and use it as a custom waypoint icon.
Features
- Assign any registered item as a waypoint icon
- Supports both vanilla and modded items
- Searchable item picker
- Custom icons are saved between game sessions
- Existing waypoint icons are restored when editing a waypoint
- Remove a custom icon and return to the default Xaero waypoint symbol
- Custom icons are displayed:
- on Xaero's Minimap
- as in-world waypoint markers
- on Xaero's World Map
Icon Picker
When creating or editing a waypoint, Xaero Iconize adds an icon button next to the waypoint name field.
Click the button to open the item picker and select the item you want to use as the waypoint icon.
![]()
The picker includes a search field, so you don't have to scroll through every item installed in the game.
Right-click the icon button to remove the currently assigned custom icon.
World Map
Custom waypoint icons are also displayed directly on Xaero's World Map.
![]()
The original Xaero waypoint background, colors and labels are preserved.
