</>What does Minimap do?
Switch on Minimap and a panel appears in the top right corner while you play. It shows nine map squares across and seven down, with yours in the middle and a gold dot where Rose stands. Rooms you have entered are blue, save rooms are red, and each room shows its walls and the gaps where its doors are. The panel is built from the game's own data: the level's room layout and the exploration record the game keeps for its map. Rooms you have not entered yet stay hidden, so the minimap fills in at the same pace as your map. It is a simple block drawing made by the mod, not the artwork of the map screen, and it never changes your map progress or your save. It hides whenever a menu, dialogue, cutscene or loading screen is up and comes back when you are playing again. Minimap size scales it from 50% to 200%, and Minimap corner moves it to any corner of the screen. Switching it off removes the panel.
</>What is Minimap?
Minimap adds a live corner map to Castlevania: Belmont's Curse. It reads the level's room layout and the rooms you have explored, then draws the area around you: where you stand, the rooms you have entered, save rooms, walls and doors, at the size and in the corner you choose.
</>Common questions about Minimap
What does Minimap do in Castlevania: Belmont's Curse?
It puts a small live map in a corner of the screen while you play, so you can see the rooms around Rose without opening the map screen. The panel moves with her square by square and updates several times a second as she runs, climbs and enters new rooms. When she walks through a door into another area of the castle, it reads that area's layout and carries on from there.
Does it show rooms I have not found yet?
No. The mod asks the game which rooms you have entered, using the same exploration record that fills in the map screen, and draws only those. The room you are standing in always shows, and a new room appears on the minimap a moment after you step into it.
Does it change my save or my map progress?
No. Minimap only looks at what the game already tracks and writes nothing back to it, so your map completion, save rooms and save file stay exactly as the game left them. Switching it off removes the panel and its picture straight away.
Is it the game's map screen shrunk into a corner?
No. The map screen's own artwork is only shown while the map menu is open, so the mod draws its own simple block map instead. The squares, room shapes and doors come from the same level layout data the game uses, so the minimap follows the castle's real room grid.
Can I move or resize the minimap?
Yes. Minimap corner puts the panel in the top right, top left, bottom right or bottom left corner, and Minimap size scales it from 50% to 200% in steps of 10. At 100% it is about 320 by 156 pixels on a 1080p screen, and changes apply while you play.
Why does the minimap disappear sometimes?
It only shows during normal play. Whenever the game leaves it, for example for menus, dialogue, cutscenes or loading screens, the panel hides, and it comes back as soon as you are in control of Rose again. It also waits for a level to finish loading before it draws anything.
What options does Minimap include?

- Follows you from area to area, reading each level's layout as you arrive.
- Minimap size from 50% to 200% and a choice of four corners.
Best For
- You are looking for a doorway you skipped, so glance at the corner to see which walls of the nearby rooms have gaps.
- You want to rest after a hard fight, so follow the red square on the minimap instead of opening the map every few rooms.
- The panel covers something you want to see, so move it to another corner or shrink it to 50%.
