Looking for a way to add a minimap to Minecraft 1.21.4? JourneyMap is one of the most useful mods for navigation, letting you track locations, set waypoints, and view real-time maps. Whether you’re playing survival or exploring vast worlds, this mod makes traveling much easier.
In this guide, I’ll take you through the full process of downloading and installing JourneyMap so you can use it with Minecraft Forge. Follow the steps carefully, and you’ll have it set up in just a few minutes!
Why Install JourneyMap in Minecraft?
Minecraft doesn’t include a built-in minimap, making it easy to get lost in the world. This is where JourneyMap comes in handy:
- Live minimap on your screen – See your surroundings instantly
- Waypoints – Mark key locations like bases, villages, and strongholds
- Full-screen world map – Navigate large areas without guessing
- Death markers – Easily find where you last died and recover your items
Once installed, JourneyMap automatically tracks your movements, letting you focus on exploration and survival instead of constantly checking coordinates.
Step 1: Download the Required Files
Before installing JourneyMap, you need two things:
- JourneyMap Mod – The main file that adds the minimap
- Minecraft Forge – A tool that makes it possible to run mods
Scroll down to the downloads section to get the latest versions for Minecraft 1.21.4.
Step 2: Install Minecraft Forge

- Download Forge from the link at the bottom of this page.
- Move the Forge installer file to your desktop.

Now, Forge is installed, and we can move on to adding JourneyMap!
