A lightweight plugin that hides F3 coordinates and displays them in the actionbar when holding a compass. Includes customizable formatting and admin commands to toggle visibility globally.
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.
