Why use DirectionHUD Plugin?

Whether you’re tracking your friends, returning to a waypoint, or simply heading north, this plugin makes navigation feel natural without sacrificing screen real estate. It’s perfect for survival servers, hardcore mode, or RPG-style play where clear direction is essential.
