About this project

What does Locator Compass add?

Locator Compass

Minecraft 1.21.6 added the Locator Bar, a new bar that appears instead of the XP progress bar that indicates where players are in the world.

However, this has the disadvantage of hiding your current progression to the next level when not actively collecting experience points.


Locator Compass fixes this common complaint, by instead making the Locator Bar only appear when holding a compass, rather than all the time.

This also gives the compass another purpose, making it a more helpful item!
