✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 248 endorsements and nearly 30k downloads.
- Solves a real annoyance by keeping waypoints visible and showing distances.
- Smart overlap handling means less clutter when waypoints bunch up.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the compass—if you wanted a full map overhaul, this isn't it.
- No mention of config options, so you're stuck with the default behavior.
- Compatibility with other UI mods is unverified—could conflict with compass tweaks.
For Valheim players who rely on the compass for navigation and hate losing waypoint distances. If you're tired of waypoints disappearing or want quick distance checks without opening the map, this is for you. Skip if you're happy with the vanilla compass or want deeper map customization.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Thunderstore, install BetterCompass through the manager to avoid manual file placement errors.
- Since this mod changes UI behavior, test it with your other UI mods to ensure they don't conflict—disable any other compass mods first.
- If waypoints still overlap, check if you have other mods that add extra waypoints, as that could increase overlap frequency.
