As you can see from the screenshot, I’ve modded Minecraft to display the coordinates, and rounded the decimal to the nearest hundredth just to maintain tidiness and space efficiency. I have always found the coordinates useful, but it’s so hard to see them in the debug screen when the latency meter kept covering them up, especially on smaller screens like laptops or older monitors. So this was my solution. The coordinates can be displayed and hidden by pressing F4 (possibly fn+f4 on Mac? I’m not sure, I’ve heard function keys are iffy on Mac). This is my first mod, so I'm sorry that it's not too flashy. The purpose of this mod is just to allow the viewing of current coordinates without the jumble of other features in the debug menu. Can be useful when meeting up with friends on multiplayer, or keeping track of locations in single player.

Edit: New versions use unicode fonts, so the coordinates look much nicer!

Please Note that this mod affects Minecraft.class and is therefore very likely to conflict with other mods. I am currently looking into ways to prevent conflicts, but I'm very new to modding, so any help would be greatly appreciated. As of the 1.2.4 update this mod only affects GuiIngame.class so it's much less likely to cause conflict! In previous versions it modified Minecraft.class, GameSettings.class, and GuiIngame.class. I'm sorry for those previous conflicts.

Nice mod, looking forward to viewing upcoming version's of this mod.

Well F3 is the same thing but this actually shows it on screen with out having to keep pressing F3 if your buddy on a server wants to know your coordinates and you have to type them to him. Great work!!

[Nitti9]

I've been looking for a mod like this for litterally a month, haha. Thank you soooo much.

... and it works great!

Thank you! i hate having my F3 mode up all of the time! thanks again.

EDIT: okay. it worked for a couple minutes and then shut my minecraft down, did not have enough time to see the error code. and when i did turn mc back on it didnt have my texture pack. also the water isnt moving...and my minecraft character(that follows my cursor) doesnt show up.

It shouldn't do that at all, as all it does is bind pre-existing code to a new key. Also myself and several friends have tested this mode, and been using it all day so I don't think it's the mod. Perhaps it's conflicting with another mod you had installed?

Did you know that Rei's Minimap shows coordinates, AND gives you a map of like, 16 chunks around you?

+1

Rei's Minimap has this plus a TON of other features, it's almost a shame that you spent time on this mod when you could have made something else worth while. for your efforts though. Better luck next time.

[oOGeneral_RyanOo]

Loks good! for this you shal get a +

Thats mean at least be happy he created something useful and not another more ores and armor mod because i used ries minimap and its nnot very good why? because when you go to the nether everything is grey -.-

[CJB]

My post wasn't mean at all... I actually thanked him and presented him with a red rose for his efforts at the end... I think your reading comprehension might need a little work, I can help you with that in my spare time if you like.

But like a few others have pointed out before me there are mods that have been around for a long time (in the Minecraft timeline at least) that do what this mod does plus a lot more and what's wrong with "more ore and tools" mods?!? I thoroughly enjoy having more things to mine besides the standard 5 ores that are in Minecraft. When I was still on 1.8.1 I used "More ores and Tools" by apotato (which adds 10 mine-able ores with 3 tools and swords for each along with meteorites, staffs etc) and in 1.0.0 I'm currently using "Compressed Blocks v3.2" which gives you Coal and Redstone tools (also the ability to turn A LOT of coal into a diamond ).

I guess it's a matter of opinion, you have yours and I have mine.

[The Benolds]

I've always wanted something like this, Thank you!

[GoodOldWar]

Due to the fact that this mod uses modified class files that are commonly used in other mods, if you have other mods installed it will likely break your minecraft.jar

I am currently looking into creating a Modloader compatible version, however one way to install the mod without any conflicts is to install via MCPatcher.

This is great, my computer isn't the best so the graph gets in the way and pisses me off

You'd get a much more positive response had you asked instead of demanding. I'll get to it when I get to it, and I can't really start until MCP updates.
