Location Identifier Framework
Location Identifier Framework is a framework designed to help mods easily identify in-game world locations using coordinates. With LIF, you can retrieve structured and detailed information about any known map area, both vanilla and modded, by simply passing X and Y world coordinates.
Please note that this is a framework, not a standalone mod. It’s intended to be used by other mods that require detailed data of a certain location.
LIF maintains a curated list of map regions, including both vanilla zones and areas added by supported map mods. On game start, LIF detects which mods are active and dynamically loads only the relevant location entries.
Each location entry includes:
- longName – Full name of the location (e.g., "Dixie, KY")
- shortName – Abbreviated name (e.g., "Dixie")
- id – A lowercase ID key (e.g., "dixie")
- mod – The mod ID that added the location. If the location is vanilla, it will return "Vanilla"
- isVanilla – Boolean flag for vanilla locations
- startX/endX/startY/endY – Bounding coordinates
- Other Mods – Should be fully compatible with all mods. Only interacts with coordinates and does not alter gameplay.
- Game Version – Tested and works on 41.73+. Not tested on earlier versions.
- Multiplayer – Functional in multiplayer
- Pre-existing saves – Can be added to pre-existing saves.
- No known issues.

- This framework utilizes location data originally created by Braven in his mod "Where Am I", and has been extended to include additional metadata. Huge thanks to Braven for granting permission to build upon his work!
