+ Minimap beta is now over for 1.8. After a few optimisations and a lot of bug fixes, the minimap is now using FBO's by default and is now running on your GPU instead of the CPU.
This will definately give you more FPS in crowded areas (I get 50+ more FPS on servers than before).
When empty the minimap will run slightly better/worse depending on your machine (runs slightly worse for me but it's not noticable).
If your machine doesn't support FBO's then the minimap will automatically switch to safe mode which is CPU based.
+ Added a new option for Safe Mode in the minimap settings. Toggles between the new and the old minimap types.
+ Added a new option for Anti-Aliasing in the minimap settings. Only applies to terrain at the moment. Does not work in safe mode. Turning this off will make the minimap look as pixelated as before but keep it running on the GPU.
* Fixed "Show Other Teams" option not saving.
* Fixed white screen on startup when using the latest Forge version.
- Removed the Minimap Beta option.
Update 1.4.9.1 (MC 1.7.10):
* Fixed Toggle Minimap keybind not working.
* Fixed "Show Other Teams" option not saving.
* Fixed white screen on startup when using the latest Forge version.
GPU mode is broken when trying to use it with Optifine 1.8.0 HD_U_D3. Both D1 and D2 work fine though. Safemode works with D3 but obviously that negates the performance improvements by using the GPU instead.
This is what I get on Optifine D3 when I test. Using the current 1.5 release.

Oh wow. Will do my best to fix it for the next update.
Same problem here, my setup is Optifine for 1.8.0 and Forge 1.8.0.
No biggie, I just went back to the previous version for now.
Just turn the Safe Mode on in the settings. Or downgrade your Optifine to D2.
Also, if you're using versions below 1.5 then make sure your Forge version is 1334 because the latest one gives a white screen on startup.
EDIT: I love how all the bugs come up right after the Beta is over. As usual
Whenever I host a lan server, it won't let my friend connect. He loaded the game with Forge and it still didn't let him join. Can this be used in plan servers?

I don't think it has anything to do with this mod since it does not affect the server side.
Hey, I am sure this is a lot to ask for, but I shall ask anyway. Is there any possibility of a full screen map that you can scroll across to look back at where you've been? It seems that the current version keeps your marked points, but it has to reload when you come back to an area that you've already been at. Obviously you wouldn't have it show all of the trackable things (like mobs, items, NPCs, etc...), but you can probably set up a small radius that the larger map shows.
Overall my experience with this mod has been quite positive, regardless of desired extras. Thank you.

Guys, I have a temporary solution for you. Go to Video Settings -> Performance -> Fast Render -> Turn it off and restart the client.
I'm working on a permament fix right now. Not sure if it's even possible because Optifine disables FBO's thinking it's cool.

I'm not planning a feature like this but everything can change in the future.
The Minimap itself is not perfect yet to add something as big as this. Plus it's weird adding maps to a game which already has them.

Thanks. I can confirm that the workaround works. I look forward to a proper fix later on but this will work for now.
EDIT: By sheer luck you found a workaround for another mod that has a huge note on their forum post that says it incompatible with D3 as well (one part is that custom fonts get wonky). I'm going to mention this over there too... Maybe that will help them fix it.

My permament fix will probably be not using FBO when it's not possible even though it's supported by your machine. This should ged rid of any similar issues in the future, not necessarily Optifine related. I also messaged the creator of Optifine reporting the bug so hopefully he will fix it. Maybe he already did in D4 which is not out for 1.8, I can't check that.

Actually, it somehow does! I was playing on TPPI server with this minimap installed, and been thrown from the server, and then server went on restart.
Since then, I tried a couple of times - and it always repeated. Then, i checked logs and found a looooot of nullpointer exceptions http://pastebin.com/cMuE58z4
Wiped tppi pack, and it is all good now. But, how?

This is not possible. You were probably kicked for using mods outside of the pack. Also, update the mod, I fixed this bug more than a month ago.
Okay, here's a slightly ironic bug for you:
It happens if I click "yes" on the update dialog. In short, you need to catch that exception. At least swallow it; showing a dialog box explaining what happened would be nice too.
No response to my comment, Xaero? If I can't get functional waypointing that doesn't delete itself, I might have to just look elsewhere. And I can't unset .minecraft as read-only. I don't know how you did that for yourself.

Try setting the xaerominimap.txt itself to not being read-only. Also, make sure you're on an admin user.
EDIT: I just checked and my mc folder is also read-only but the file itself isn't. Maybe that should fix it.
If you rename your world, the mod can not find your saved waypoints. Maybe that's your problem.
Actually, you can rename the world and the mod will still find your waypoints as long as the folder name stays unrenamed.
EDIT: Sorry for double posting, I was on mobile.

...Huh. So that's why I was getting a white screen.
I can't unset appdata/roaming/.minecraft as read only, Xaero. So I guess i'm just going to keep randomly losing waypoint data.
No matter what I do, when I uncheck the read-only box, hit apply, ok, then go back to it, it's re-set itself as read-only.
Whenever I host a lan server, it won't let my friend connect. He loaded the game with Forge and it still didn't let him join. Can this be used in plan servers?
