Rei’s Minimap Mod is a very handy tool for Minecraft. The best feature is in my opinion the Minimap itself. Among this feature, it also comes with other cool features, like setting spawn/waypoints and cave mapping. The menu lets you do a ton of customisations. You can set render types, set death point so you can see where you died, surface options and a lot more.
