Overview
Icon Xaero's is a utility resource pack that cleans up the look of your minimap. Instead of generic dots or blurry head shots, this pack adds custom, high-quality icons for entities, waypoints, and the map interface itself.
Features
- Better Mob Tracking: Replaces standard minimap markers with specific icons for vanilla mobs and dozens of popular modded creatures.
- Map Interface: Custom textures for the Minimap and World Map frames and UI elements.
- Massive Mod Support: Includes icons for Alex's Mobs, Cobblemon, Ice and Fire, Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks, Cataclysm, and over 100 other entity-heavy mods.
- Waypoint Icons: Overhauled markers to help you distinguish between your base, portals, and death points at a glance.
Supported Mods
While this pack covers vanilla Minecraft, it is specifically designed to support large modpacks. It includes icons for AdventureZ, Ad Astra, BetterEnd, Blue Skies, Deeper and Darker, Naturalist, Quark, The Aether, Twilight Forest, and many more. You don't need all these mods for the pack to work; it will simply apply icons to whichever ones you have installed.
Resolution and Performance
The icons are designed to be crisp even when zoomed out on the map. Because these are simple 2D textures used by the map's GUI, there is zero impact on your FPS or game performance.
Compatibility
- Required: Needs Xaero's Minimap or Xaero's World Map to actually see the changes.
- Versions: Confirmed working on all versions from 1.16.5 up to 1.21.x.
- Load Order: For best results, place this near the top of your resource pack list. If you use Fresh Animations, look for the dedicated "Icon Fresh" version for better compatibility.
