JourneyMap for Minecraft

Review JourneyMap

Finding your bearings in the game world is a big problem for you, and you don't understand where you are? Indeed, it is quite difficult to play without a map, as you cannot know what awaits you. Would like to add a multifunctional map to the Minecraft game world? We suggest you install an add-on called JourneyMap, which will allow you to do this. It is a popular mod that adds a circle-shaped map displayed in the upper right corner. You can be sure that it will not spoil the gameplay at all, as it is not that large. Thanks to it, you will get a lot of data about your location and which biome you are in, as well as many other functions.

Map's Functions

Having looked at the map, you can notice many indicators that will be useful for each player. Your coordinates are shown at the bottom and include the longitude, latitude, and elevation (x, y, z). So you will not have to constantly press the F3 key anymore to check your coordinates, as they are shown right on the main screen. Below the coordinates, there is the name of the biome you are currently in. It will change when you enter another biome. That is quite convenient, as a beginner may not yet know which biome they are in. At the top of the map, you can see the exact in-game time and current time of day.

Map's Elements

On the map itself, you can find the exact image of the nearby terrain. This will allow you to find the biomes you need faster, as looking at the map, you can see the areas quite far from your location. Besides, the map will show all the player's buildings or structures. The nearby hostile and friendly mobs are also shown on the map. The former are colored red and the latter gray. Four cardinal points are marked on the sides for better navigation — north, south, west, and east.

Map's View

If you do not particularly like the round map, you can easily change its view by pressing one key. It can be changed in the Controls section of the settings. You can thus switch to a square map, but it will take up more screen space. However, you will be able to see a vaster area on it. After checking it, you can easily change the map's view to the round one.

Full-Screen Map

If you like the square view, you can also open a full-screen map, which will allow you to enable other features. Besides, in the full-screen map, you can see the entire game world, or rather, the loaded chunks you have visited. So you should activate a large number of chunks so that the entire world map becomes available for examination. The full-screen map features numerous buttons, clicking on which you can change what is displayed on it. Thus, by clicking on the Biomes button, the map will show the biomes, highlighting their borders and territory with color to help you easily find a certain biome. You can also change the GUI as you see fit. If you have found some interesting place but have to leave it, you can mark it on the map to subsequently return there.
