Getting started

Install Charted, pick how much the minimap shows, and find your way around.

What you need #

MinecraftLoader
26.1, 26.2, 26.3Fabric with Fabric API, or NeoForge 26.1.2 and newer
1.21.1 to 1.21.11Fabric with Fabric API
  • Nothing on the server. Charted works on vanilla servers and Realms.
  • Mod Menu is optional on Fabric: it puts the settings in the mod list. /charted config opens them without it.
  • Each Minecraft version and loader has a file of its own; take the one for yours.
  • In English, Dutch, French, German and Russian: every screen, setting and message. Charted follows the game's language.

Install #

  1. Install Fabric Loader or NeoForge for your Minecraft version.
  2. Download Charted from Modrinth or CurseForge: the file for your Minecraft version and loader. On Fabric, download Fabric API too.
  3. Put the files in the mods folder of your Minecraft folder and start the game.
  4. Join a world. The minimap is in the top corner, and the walkthrough opens.

The walkthrough #

The first time you join a world, Charted asks how you like to play, a page at a time, and shows each answer on your own minimap as you pick:

The first-start walkthrough, asking how much the minimap should show
  1. Welcome to Charted: how much the minimap shows. Pick a preset below, or As I have it to keep your own mix.
  2. How the map looks: Satellite, Atlas or Minecraft, on your own map as you explored it so far.
  3. The minimap: Turns with me or North up, and the keys to zoom and enlarge it.
  4. What's around you: players, mobs and caves on your maps.
  5. Waypoints: how to mark a place, and what Charted marks for you.
  6. Your waypoints from other map mods: shown when Charted finds waypoints of Xaero's Minimap or JourneyMap on your computer. Bring them over does it.
  7. You're set: your keys, to change right there.

The walkthrough is shared with the other VoxelSprout mods you have. /charted onboarding opens it again.

Presets #

Four starting points, in the walkthrough and under Presets in the settings. Each sets the lines under the minimap, the radar and cave view; everything stays changeable after.

  • SimpleThe map and your coordinates, nothing else.
  • ExplorerWhich way you face, the biome, the other side of a portal and your speed, for traveling far.
  • SurvivalHostile mobs on the map, cave view, the light level and the time, for staying alive.
  • EverythingEvery line under the minimap, every mob and cave view.

Your first minutes #

  • Walk around. The minimap fills in as you go, new ground fading in.
  • Press M for the world map. Drag it, scroll to zoom, Space to find yourself.
  • Press J to mark where you stand. Give it a name and Save.
  • Press [ and ] to zoom the minimap, and hold Z to see it big.
  • Type /charted for every command.

A setting made a screen hard to use? /charted reset puts every setting back to its default; /charted reset minimap only that tab.
