See your Location at a glance
The X, Y and Z coordinates that locate the player's position in the world are normally displayed on the F3 Debug screen.
This mod displays them discreetly in the top left-hand corner of the main game screen, so you don't have to leave F3 open to see them.
It also indicates the direction that you are facing, in compass-direction terms.
Controls
- F6 to hide / unhide the coordinate display
- hidden automatically when F3 activated
Custom Colours
From version 1.1.0 onwards you have the ability to customise the colours in which Batty's Coordinates appear on the screen.
This done by creating a small file called BatMod.properties in your .minecraft folder.
If this file is not present, the Coordinates all appear in the default colours.
The following lines are permitted in the file:
- Coords.shade = <true or false>
- Coords.colours.TitleText = <colour from the list>
- Coords.colours.CoordText = <colour from the list>
- Coords.colours.CompassText = <colour from the list>
The list of recognised colours:
black, darkblue, darkgreen, darkaqua, darkred, purple, gold, oldgold, grey, darkgrey, blue, green, aqua, red, lightpurple, yellow, white
(*Note* that you must type all of the entries exactly as they appear here - capitals and lowercase - or they will be ignored and the default colours will be used by the game)
So, for example, if you like all-white lettering and no shaded panel, make this file:
BatMod.properties
- Coords.shade = false
- Coords.colours.TitleText = white
- Coords.colours.CoordText = white
- Coords.colours.CompassText = white
Compatibility
Batty's Coordinates mod makes changes to these Minecraft internal classes:
- GuiIngame.class
- Minecraft.class
It also adds its own class:
- BattyUI.class
It will conflict with any other mods that you install which modify the same classes.
Optifine does not touch these classes, and so should be completely compatible.
Installing
This is a very basic mod and is installed either by editing the appropriate Minecraft jar file or by using apps e.g. MagicLauncher, MultiMC
using MagicLauncher

- paste the zip file contents into the Minecraft.jar, replacing the classes in the minecraft.jar with the equivalent classes from the zip file
- run Minecraft from the modified jar
editing Minecraft.jar(1.6)
- make a new folder in the %appdata%\.minecraft\versions\ folder
- in this example, assume you have called this "1.6.1 Coords"
- copy the entire contents of the "1.6.1" folder into "1.6.1 Coords"
- rename the 1.6.1.jar to 1.6.1 Coords.jar and 1.6.1.json to 1.6.1 Coords.json
