About Map Art Copyright

From Modrinth

A small server side mod designed to note the author who created the map. Allows to disable map copying.

Map Art Copyright

A server-side mod that records the author of a map and provides features to control map copying.

Features

  • Tracks the original author of created maps.
  • Option to disable map copying.
  • Configurable rules for whether authors can copy or transfer maps.
  • Ability to transfer maps into the public domain.
  • Optional support for cleaning maps in a cartography table.


Default Configuration

# Maximum number of authors displayed in the map lore
maxPlayersInLore: 3

# Prevents copying maps (except for authors if 'authorsCanCopy' is true)
disableCopy: true
authorsCanCopy: true

# Allows the main author to transfer a map to the public domain
# (works only if 'disableCopy' is true)
publicDomainFeature: true

New recipe: Filled maps can now be cleaned back to empty maps via a shapeless recipe using a water bucket, potion, or any other item tagged as water_items. This replaces the previous cartography table cleanMap mixin feature.
