📋 About This Mod
Uses the X key by default. See your compass when you want to find a quest target, hide it when you want to get lost in the wilderness. Please be aware that this will also hide your shout and Survival Mode temperature indicators (as of 1. 4 there's an option for this, primarily to ensure TrueHUD compatibility)
Compared to Toggle Compass:
Uses a dedicated hotkey. Doesn't sit in your list of powers.
Compared to Immersive HUD:
Only touches the compass and floating markers. Friendlier towards TrueHUD.
This checks the states of various HUD widgets (especially in Toggle on Activate mode) and might not be compatible with mods that make significant changes to the HUD and how it functions.
A lightweight UI mod that lets you toggle the compass and floating markers with a single keypress. With 2,801 endorsements and 1.7M downloads, it's a proven quality-of-life tool for players who want a cleaner HUD without losing the option to check directions. Last updated in 2022, it remains a popular choice for its simplicity and effectiveness.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 2,801 endorsements and 1.7M downloads show it's a go-to mod.
- Instant HUD control—one keypress and the compass disappears for screenshots or immersion.
- Works for both compass and floating markers, so you can customize your HUD exactly how you like.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022—might not be compatible with the latest game patches, so test before relying on it.
- No configuration options mentioned—you get the default hotkey and that's it, unless you edit files yourself.
- If you're on a controller, this mod is keyboard-focused, so you'll need to bind a key or use a workaround.
For players who want a cleaner HUD for screenshots or immersive play but still need the compass occasionally. Also great for streamers who want to hide UI elements on demand. Skip if you prefer permanent HUD removal or need customizable hotkeys.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Test the hotkey in a safe area first—make sure it doesn't conflict with other mods' keybinds.
- If the mod doesn't work after a game update, check the mod page for patches or community fixes.
