Here is a mini map (Zans Mod) with an extremely simple installation for those of you that dont have one simply because your too lazy to put time and effort into it
you can get information on it, and download it here
To install, make sure java is closed. Ctrl-alt-del and go to processes and end the process if it is still running.
P.S. Download The Installer. Not the zip type
double click the .EXE and once its loaded
Click 2 and Enter to backup your Minecraft.jar
Click 1 and Enter to patch Minecraft.jar (installing the mini map)
I recommend backing up any worlds that are important to you, JUST IN CASE something goes wrong. Although i have not yet had any issues with this mod.
To backup a World Save. Search (and by search i mean click start and search, it will already be on your computer,
as long as its windows) for a program called 'Run' Then type in %appdata% and click enter.
go into .minecraft/saves and there will be one file for each world you have on minecraft. Just copy them into
Your Documents or something. In the case that u do hafto remove Minecraft, just delete the .minecraft folder,
re run minecraft, and place those files into the same directory you got them from .minecraft/saves
