Do you know how you can get the map to show up the extrabiomes blocks and trees? I’ve tried looking and couldn’t find it.
The minimap is update for the biomes of ExtraBiomesXL and for Biomes’O Plenty
does this work with nodus?
it’s only for a QWERTY keyboard!!!!
It won’t install! I put the files into the minecraft.jar but still, when I started up minecraft it didn’t register it.
One question: Why?
thanks
same problem as bob. tried a number of times. this is a little annoying cuz i like Zan’s better than Rei’s but i guess i will just have to use Rei’s because it actually works
Just throw the zip into your mods folder
All you need to do is install forge 1.6.4 though a lot of people forget to do this…then run the game normally to get the mods folder to appear, then back out, place the zip file in the mod folder and start the game back up…voila, now you can play with the minimap. Hope this helps.
Also: You need the most recent version of forge for 1.6.4 for this to work, v9.11.1.965 is the most recent. Again, hope this helps.
I have the same problem, there’s no meta-inf folder in the jar, and didn’t copy the readme.txt but it’s like i haven’t installed nothing, help!
do you have forge? i mostly suggest you install forge for these mods
I was going to to a mod review on this but it wont work, even for me!
no offense but your not the real sky…
and plus Sky doesn’t even do mod reviews anymore.
Yeah, actually, he does. It’s just rare.
The Real Sky Dosent Commet On MODS
Installing mods can be made easier by getting Magic Luncher. Just google it.
WTF y change it so u havet to use forge or mode loader it was fine
i use mc patcher cus it easy and if i mess up i dont havet to restart it all again plzz change it back
You must only to drag the zip file into the your mods folder.
AWEEEEESOMMEEEEEE THANKSSSSSSSSSS
Hey
I was using minimap and I must have accidentally pressed a button, because my map ended up covering my screen almost completely, and I can’t get it to go away. Any suggestions would REALLY be helpful XD I can log into a different profile at launcher for now, but plz help meh! thanks 
Hey Andrea, I got it back using the “=” button but on a different computer it didn’t work so is anyone knows how to get it back please let me know
For me it is the x key
hey
this map is awsome
Guys you have to find “1.6.2.jar” thingy, META_INF is there!
Ive noticed when switching to a different world on my server the waypoints still show, is there a way to hide them so they dont carry over to other worlds?
Ok chill every body!!!
If it doesn’t work just make a folder called mods and drag and drop
and then launch minecraft in forge
I am just downloading it today. I’m a new player, and I think that this mini map will help a lot if I get lost.
How do you install it on a Mac? I have MC 1.6.4 with Forge. There is no Minecraft.jar file.
hello
Iv been trying to get this mod and any other mini map mod to work without much success for some reason its not adding them at all it keeps telling me I only have 57 mods installed even after iv added them I have no error report or id post that iv looked around but can not find any answers so I decided to post this and hope I can get some help
Freaking Put it in ur mods folder!
Doesn’t freakin’ work! Forge only lists the three built-in mods.
Also putting it into the jar doesn’t work.
Also, why is every tutorial still telling to use the /bin/minecraft.jar when it’s obsolote for so long? The jar files are now in the /versions/ folder.
Does this mod work in conjunction to other mods? Specifically the Pixelmon mod for 1.6.4?

this totally works!
I can run this mod on the client, not problem (using minecraft forge).
However, when I try to run a multiplayer server on the same machine this mod loaded fine for the client, I get a server crash:
Encountered an unexpected exception NoClassDefFoundError
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/minecraft/client/renderer/EntityRenderer
Any ideas?
I am using this server command line:
“C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java” -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraftforge-universal-1.6.4-9.11.1.965-v164-pregradle.jar
For the time being I resolved the issue by installing the server into a separate folder and removing this mod from the server folder. It’s not a big deal to have them in 2 places, but not the easiest way either.
This is an awesome mod and i would really like to use it for my modpack, is this okay with you?
I wanted some thing that every one on a server would be able to see. The idea is to create and waypoint where everyone can see it. Is this even possible. I tried adding this mod to my server and it crached my server. I added to my minecraft game with out errors or crashes.
Hey when I install the map I open MC and the space where the map is appears me on white any solucions?
Can this map track Herobrine?
Where can I find useful info about this mod, like which shortcut keys (if any) will allow me to scroll around the already-generated map area, and not just where my character currently is?
How to install mods:
)
1. Download Forge (1.7.2 etc.) ( installer )
2. Double click the installer (when you have installed it on your desktop)
3. Hit the ‘install’ button. A window should pop up. Just let it run until it’s done.
4. Open your Minecraft Installer and click on ‘Forge’ (In the drop down menu where your username is next to the ‘Play’/'Play offline’ button) and run Minecraft. Your new menu should include another tab that says ‘Mods’. It should work (it worked for me
5. Close minecraft and go to start and hit ‘Run’. Type in %appdata% into the box
6. Click the ‘.minecraft’ folder and open the mods folder. ( if there isn’t, create a folder inside .minecraft that says ‘mods’)
7. Download the mod (in this case, Zan’s Minimap) and drag it into the mods folder.
8. Run minecraft and click the mods folder. The mod should be located inside.
Hope this helped. That’s how I do it.
Hello!
When I set a new waypoint, there is no problem…BUT:
I go into the menu, but I can’t teleport to the waypoint.
Why? How can I fix it?
Please help!!!
Thx
xD
You have to have cheats enabled in your world to teleport.
I noticed there is huge black blocks showing up on the minimap again. (some time ago in 2013 this happened once) It looks like it has to do with thaumcraft 4. and the angry zombies. (I imagine it might blockout others, but I haven’t found them yet) Right now I have them turned off my radar, as a work around.
ps. another kudos, I so love this map. Any chance you can make the waypoint list a hotkey option too? I know there’s one to add waypoint, but no easy way to jump to the list to teleport around?
Good job, dude!!! Work great with me
