Map Art Copyright
A server-side mod that records the author of a map and provides features to control map copying.
It can also disable map duplication, ensuring proper credit to map creators.
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.
