5) Xaero's Minimap

This mod adds a minimap to the game. One of the features that vanilla Minecraft does not have is locating other players or marking waypoints. This mod lets the player do precisely that. Players can identify each other on their minimaps and place waypoints to important places like villages or bases. It also shows the player’s coordinates below the minimap.

This simple mod introduces a new mechanic in Minecraft, which includes two blocks. It makes it possible for players to sit on slabs and blocks. This is a neat little feature to have, and it achieves this without tweaking any major components in the game, thus retaining the “vanilla” aspect of the game. Players can use slabs and stairs for sitting around a campfire at night.
