🧭 Hidden Coords
A minimal client-side Fabric mod that displays your coordinates, dimension, and biome in a separate desktop window — completely outside Minecraft's own game window.
On SMP servers, revealing your coordinates on stream is a real problem: anyone watching can pinpoint your base, farms, or current location the moment your F3 screen shows up on camera. Hidden Coords solves this by rendering the info in its own native OS window instead of inside the game.
Since OBS "Game Capture" / "Window Capture" only grabs the Minecraft window, this overlay window simply never appears on stream — you can keep it open on a second monitor, or drag it off-screen, and still glance at your coordinates whenever you need them.
- 🎥 Streamers and content creators who don't want to expose their base location, secret builds, or current position while broadcasting.
- ⚔️ SMP / anarchy server players who want to check their coordinates privately without opening the in-game debug screen (F3) on a shared or recorded screen.
- 🖱️ Anyone who just wants a small, always-available coordinate readout without cluttering their HUD.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 🪟 Separate window | Coordinates render in a real, separate desktop window (Java Swing) — not an in-game overlay, so screen/window capture software won't pick it up |
| ⌨️ Toggle key | Show/hide the window with F6 by default (fully rebindable in Minecraft's Controls menu) |
| 📍 Live info | Displays X / Y / Z, current dimension (Overworld / Nether / End), and current biome |
| 💾 Remembers state | Window position and size are saved between sessions |
| 🖥️ Always on Top | Optional always-on-top behavior |
| 🛡️ Fails safely | If no display/graphics environment is available (e.g. headless setups) or the window can't be created, the mod disables the overlay and logs a warning instead of crashing the game |
| ✅ Client-side only | No server-side installation required, safe to use on any server |
- 🎮 Minecraft:
1.21–1.21.11(Fabric) - 🧵 Fabric Loader:
0.16.0+ - 📦 Fabric API: required
- ☕ Java:
21+
- Install Fabric Loader and Fabric API for your Minecraft version.
- Drop the
hidden-coords-*.jarfile into yourmodsfolder. - Launch the game.
- Press F6 to show or hide the coordinate window.
- Move and resize the window anywhere you like — its position is saved automatically.
- The window automatically hides when you're not in a world (e.g. at the main menu) and reappears when you rejoin.
Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. On Linux, the window renders through XWayland when running under Wayland sessions — this works out of the box in most desktop environments. "Always on Top" behavior may vary depending on your window manager/compositor.
