Custom Cartesians
About the Modification
Custom Cartesians is a client-side only Minecraft mod that enables personalized display of critical in-game information. Users can view and customize coordinate data right within the game interface.
The key feature is an additional coordinate panel that can be configured to show only specific axes—X, Y, or Z. This is particularly useful when sharing screenshots or streaming while wanting to keep exact locations of important game objects secret.
Interface Features:
- The panel automatically hides when the standard F3 debug screen is opened
- Option to completely disable coordinate display
- Non-intrusive interface that doesn't interfere with normal gameplay
Key Features
- Customizable coordinate panel - enables and disables display of desired axes
- Flexible display settings - customizable formats and appearance
- Configuration file - for fine-tuning parameters
- Compatibility with Cloth Config and ModMenu for management convenience
- Hotkeys - quick feature toggling with settings synchronization
