Server-side mod (with optional client-side features) implementing Atlases and other map features

Improved Maps

This mod is only for Fabric Servers(or Single-Player) and requires Fabric API. Works with Vanilla clients thanks to Polymer!

Server-side Features

  • Atlas - A combination between a bundle and a map.
  • Fill it with empty maps and it will automatically create new maps as you explore off the edge of your current map.
  • Automatically switch to the relevant map when returning to previous areas.
  • Make a copy of the entire Atlas. Great for map walls!
  • Fits up to 512 filled maps(configurable), and any number of empty maps
  • Map Information Tooltips - See the map scale and center coordinates right from the tooltip
  • Biome Map Colours - Records which biome each map pixel came from, so maps tint grass, leaves

and water per biome instead of drawing every biome the same flat green

  • Only players with the mod installed see the difference - a vanilla client see vanilla maps/atlases

(Optional) Client-side Features

  • Minimap - Your last selected Atlas can be displayed as a minimap
  • Atlas View - Press M (rebindable in Controls) to see every map in your Atlas stitched into one big map. Opens centred on you; scroll to zoom and drag to pan.
  • Biome Map Colours - Draws the biome tint for grass, leaves and water on maps and atlases
  • Proper display of Atlas' fullness bar

How to use Atlases

  • Craft one by combining a filled map and a book in a crafting bench
  • An Atlas is specific to a dimension
  • All maps in an Atlas must have the same scale
  • Atlases behave like bundles, but can only take filled and empty maps
  • Copy an Atlas by combining an Atlas and a book, either in a crafting bench or a cartography table
  • You must have enough empty maps in the Atlas to copy it, otherwise it won't craft
  • You'll get 2 identical Atlases, each containing half the remaining empty maps
  • You can take maps out like you would take items out of a bundle. To take out the empty maps you can either place the Atlas in a cartography table, or take out all the filled maps then right-click the empty Atlas in your inventory

(Optional) Custom Icons

  • Installing the mod client-side will show custom icons for the Atlas item and fix some UI issues
  • Icons can also be used by providing the Polymer resource pack to your vanilla clients
  • Find out how to setup Polymer AutoHost here: https://polymer.pb4.eu/latest/user/resource-pack-hosting/
  • Run /polymer generate-pack after installing the mod to generate the resource pack

Known Issues

  • Bundle tooltip on Atlas will show full once it hits 64 maps. You can still keep adding maps
  • Installing the mod client-side will fix this
