Tools to mark locations you want to keep track of, like maybe a village, a cool dungeon, or a challenge door you had to leave behind.
Adds three craftable tools: the Survey Compass, the Surface Map, and the Mini Mapper.
The first two can be crafted at the Foraging Table, while the Mini Mapper requires the upgraded Agricultural Station.

Any of the three tools will let you place and name markers anywhere.

The Survey Compass is the basic no-frills tool and will simply show you the distance to your markers as you go around the planet.
![]()
The Surface Map will record the height of the terrain you traverse while holding it and show the contour of the planet.
![]()
The Mini Mapper will map out your surroundings in 2 full dimensions while holding it, a must have for bewildered dungeoneers!

Notes:
- Use the fire button to show the display, and the escape button to close it. The display can be moved by dragging the top or bottom.
- This has been tested in singleplayer only, it would probably not be a good idea to install this on a multiplayer server.
- The game tends to crash if you teleport with the compass or mapper screen open, so make sure to close them before teleporting.
Known issues:
- Clearing the Mini Mapper data fails sometimes.
- The Mini Mapper scans slowly, so map coverage will be patchy if you move too fast.
- The Surface Map will only map the surface if it's below you, it should be a bit more lenient so it works in buildings, while swimming etc.
