📖 About
An Atlas can be crafted by combining a:
- Filled Map (the source map)
- Book
- And something sticky (Slimeball or Honey Bottle by default)
The source map determines the Atlas' scale. Who knew this whole time, all you had to do to get a mini-map was slap a map onto a book?
- You can put both Filled Maps and Empty Maps with an Atlas in a crafting inventory to insert either Map type into the Atlas.
- A Cartography Table can be used to add Filled Maps and Empty Maps as well.
- Filled Maps which are added must be of same Scale.
- There's a maximum of 512 Maps in each Atlas (configurable/togglable).
- You can use your Atlas and Shears in the Crafting Grid to remove Maps from the Atlas.
- When the Atlas is active (on your hot-bar or off-hand by default), it will render your current-position Map on the HUD if a such Map exists inside the Atlas.
- Filled Maps inside the Atlas will continue updating your location & world-state.
- Empty Maps are consumed when you enter an un-mapped region to generate a new Map of the corresponding Scale.
- If the player is in Creative, un-mapped regions will generate new Maps even if there's no Empty Maps in the Atlas.
- If specified, the requirement for having Empty Maps to create new regions can be disabled.
- Atlases do work inter-dimensionally. They create new Maps in new Dimensions as you'd expect.
- The mini-map supports the ability to display your current X, Y, & Z coordinates as well as your current Biome
- Optional Trinkets support:
- When Trinkets is installed, there will be a new Slot for an Atlas
- The Atlas will continue to function as normal inside the Trinkets slot
- The Atlas has a world map view as well. To access this, right-click the Atlas or press "m" while the Atlas is on your hot-bar.
- The world map has selectable tabs for each Dimension you've explored and created Map entries for.
- It also has selectable tabs for each Banner you've added in each Dimension. Clicking these will snap the center of your view to the map containing the Banner.
- The world map will display the active X & Z coordinates of the point your mouse is hovering over.
- The Atlas world view has zoom support & scales by odd numbers 1x1, 3x3, 5x5, 7x7, etc using your mouse scroll wheel.
- The Atlas world view has full pan support as well, using your mouse to drag the world map.
- Atlases also support right-clicking Banners to add "waypoints", which display in both the mini-map & world-view map.
- Atlases can be merged with a Cartography Table - simply put an Atlas in the top & bottom slots and the Atlases will combine their mapped regions with one-another!
- Atlases support Lecterns - Show off your world by putting an Atlas in a Lectern!
- Simply right click a Lectern while holding an Atlas to display the Lectern
- The Atlas will appear visually different depending on the Dimension its displayed in - there's a unique texture for the Overworld, Nether, End and "Other".
- Atlases can be stored in Chiseled Bookshelves in 1.20+
