EdgeMapMarker
Keeps home, your chosen pins and friends on the edge of your minimap, with an arrow and distance, so you always know which way to go. Client-side.Edge Map Marker
Never lose your way home. When a tracked place is off your minimap, Edge Map Marker pins its icon to the edge of the minimap in that direction, with an arrow and the distance.
Features
- Home by default. Your bed (or the world spawn if you have no bed) is tracked out of the box.
- Track any map pin. Your own markers, discovered locations, boss pins and shared markers.
- Track other players. Their marker shows their name and distance, in a colour picked from their character name, so everyone with the mod sees the same player in the same colour.
- Track as many as you like. Every tracked target that's off the minimap gets its own edge marker.
- HUD markers. Each tracked target also gets a ping-style label on screen with its icon, name and distance, held at the screen edge when it's behind you.
- Tracked pins are marked with a small badge (or a ring) on both the large map and the minimap.
- Saved per character and per world.
- Client-side only. Nothing is synced. Install it on the clients that want it; the server and other players don't need it.
How to use
Open the large map and hold Left Alt:
| Click | On | Does |
|---|---|---|
| Left-click | A pin, another player, or your bed / spawn point | Track it (shown on the minimap and the HUD), or stop tracking it |
| Right-click | A tracked target | Cycle where it shows: minimap + HUD, minimap only, HUD only |
When several are under the cursor, the closest one wins. Alt + right-click never deletes the pin.
Left Alt + H shows or hides all HUD markers, and Left Alt + I shows or hides their icons.
Other players can only be tracked while they're visible on the map (vanilla "Visible on map" checkbox, or a server-side mod that forces it).
