XaeroLib

Source-provided project description. FreeMinecraftMods keeps creator credit and adds separate compatibility and decision guidance below.

Project overview

This is a library mod that contains code that is used and required by both Xaero's Minimap and Xaero's World Map starting with versions 25.3.2 (minimap) and 1.40.2 (world map). The map mods themselves along with detailed descriptions of what they do can be found here: Xaero's Minimap Xaero's World Map It is only necessary to install this mod on Forge on Minecraft versions 1.16.5 and 1.12.2. The map mods will not work without the library. The library is already included in the map mods by default on newer Minecraft versions and on Fabric/Quilt, so you do not need to install it separately, which is why you won't find such files here. For Developers: Please read the "For Developers" section on the map mod pages.

FreeMinecraftMods decision guide

This mod is most relevant to players looking for Map and Information, API and Library on Forge. Treat those labels as discovery hints, then verify the exact file and dependency list on the official project page.

The source record was updated on Jul 17, 2026, which is a recent freshness signal. A recent date does not guarantee support for every loader or Minecraft version, so still inspect the current file list.

What to verify before choosing a file

• Confirm that the file is published by the credited creator on the linked official source.
• Match the Minecraft version exactly instead of relying only on a broad category label.
• Read dependencies, incompatibilities, and changelog notes before updating an existing instance.
• Match the loader or server platform and its required version. Forge and NeoForge are not interchangeable.
• Back up worlds and configuration files before testing the project in a long-term save or public server.
