**Compass Coordinates** \u2014 a lightweight Paper\/Spigot plugin that shows your coordinates only while you are holding a compass. It renders coordinates in the action bar and toggles F3 coordinates visibility via a \u201cfake\u201d reduceDebugInfo using ProtocolLib. When no compass is in hand, coordinates are hidden everywhere (including F3).<\/p>\n
### Features
\n– Action bar coordinates while holding a compass (either hand).
\n– F3 coordinates on\/off via ProtocolLib without touching server configs.
\n– Fully customizable message format, colors, update interval, and direction labels.<\/p>\n
### Requirements
\n– Java 17+
\n– Paper or Spigot matching your Minecraft version
\n– ProtocolLib on the server<\/p>\n
### Installation
\n– Put the plugin .jar into your server\u2019s plugins folder.
\n– Ensure ProtocolLib is installed and compatible.
\n– Start or restart the server.
\n– Edit plugins\/CompassCoords\/config.yml if needed and restart.
\n– Run the command: `\/gamerule reducedDebugInfo`<\/p>\n
### Behavior:
\n– Coordinates appear only while a compass is held.
\n– When no compass is held, the plugin hides coordinates in both Action Bar and F3 via ProtocolLib.<\/p>\n
### Config file
\n“`yaml
\n# This file explains every option. Copy the keys to `plugins\/CompassCoords\/config.yml`.
\n#
\n# Placeholders available in the `text` value:
\n# %x, %y, %z – player coordinates (integers)
\n# %dx, %dy, %dz – player coordinates with one decimal
\n# %world – world name
\n# %yaw, %pitch – player rotation (integers)
\n# %dyaw, %dpitch – player rotation with one decimal
\n# %dir – cardinal direction derived from yaw (uses `directions` mapping below)
\n#
\n# Color codes:
\n# Use `&`-codes (e.g. &6, &r). They will be converted to \u00a7-codes at runtime.
\n# You can also write \u00a7-codes directly if you prefer.<\/p>\n
# Whether the plugin is enabled at all.
\nenabled: true<\/p>\n
# How often to update the Action Bar (in ticks). 20 ticks = 1 second.
\n# Lower values update more frequently but may be noisier.
\ndelay: 5<\/p>\n
# The Action Bar message format shown while holding a compass.
\n# Combine any placeholders listed above. Colors: use &-codes or \u00a7-codes.
\n# Example with integer coords:
\n# “&6%dir&r | &6X:&r %x &6Y:&r %y &6Z:&r %z”
\n# Example with one-decimal coords:
\n# “\u00a76%dir\u00a7r | \u00a76X:\u00a7r %dx \u00a76Y:\u00a7r %dy \u00a76Z:\u00a7r %dz”
\ntext: “\u00a76%dir\u00a7r | \u00a76X:\u00a7r %x \u00a76Y:\u00a7r %y \u00a76Z:\u00a7r %z”<\/p>\n
# Labels for the 8 compass directions used by %dir.
\n# Customize them to your language or style if you want.
