BetterCompass

BetterCompass is a lightweight, configurable Spigot/Paper plugin that hides coordinates from the F3 debug screen and instead shows them neatly in the action bar when the player holds a compass — in either hand.

✨ Features

• Hides coordinates from the F3 debug menu (gamerule reducedDebugInfo)
• Displays coordinates (X: Y: Z:) in the action bar when holding a compass (main or off-hand)
• Fully customizable action bar text format and colors
• Commands to reload configuration and toggle F3 coordinates globally
• Admin-only commands with configurable permissions
• Lightweight and optimized for all modern Spigot/Paper versions (1.16+)
