WagYourMinimap review
An open-source Java mod combining map views, mob radar, and developer extensibility.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
WagYourMinimap is a client-side mod for Minecraft Java Edition built around two map views: a minimap for nearby surroundings and a world map for broader world tracking. It is aimed at players who want open-source mapping with mob awareness, as well as developers who want to extend the mod through its plugin API. The project is licensed under MPL-2.0 and supports Fabric and Forge loaders.
Its feature set goes beyond basic terrain display. A mob radar adds entity tracking, while the vanilla-style material color scheme uses Minecraft material colors for a familiar visual treatment. Players can also select a texture-pack average color scheme, which adapts map coloring to the active pack. Custom mob icons through mobicons.json add another layer of control for users who want different entity markers. These options make the mod particularly suitable for players who value map readability and developers working on related plugins.
The main trade-off is compatibility scope. The listed platform is Java Edition, with coverage for Minecraft 1.17.1, 1.18.2, 1.19 through 1.19.1, and 1.19.3 on Fabric and Forge. That makes WagYourMinimap a focused choice for players on those versions and loaders, but a less suitable option for players on other editions, loaders, or game versions. Choose it for open-source mapping, mob radar, color-scheme options, and an extension API; consider another mod if your priority is broader compatibility or a different map-focused feature set.
