What Odyssey Map is
Odyssey Map is a free, open-source minimap and fullscreen map mod for Minecraft. The minimap can use a circular or square shape and rotate with North-Up or Heading-Up orientation. Players can create custom waypoints, while the mod records death locations and tracks a bed and spawn point. Settings cover HUD position, size, transparency, marker visibility, zoom, map shape, and terrain colors. Odyssey Map is client-side, so multiplayer servers do not need to install it. The listing names Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge, with support described for singleplayer, multiplayer, dedicated servers, and large modpacks. Shader support is included. The maker describes the mod as lightweight, using terrain-data caching to keep performance impact low. Cave maps are not currently supported. The project is licensed under Apache-2.0 and linked to NightBeam Studio. Listed game versions are 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 26.1.2, and 26.2. Downloads, GitHub issue reporting, and a Discord community are available from the listing. Planned features include waypoint categories, minimap themes, team markers, and improved fullscreen tools.
