The mod adds a self-writing fullscreen map to your Minecraft client. Works as a separate mod but is a lot better with Xaero's Minimap. The reason why it's available separately is to keep Xaero's Minimap as light-weight as possible.
The mod is still in development! Please report any bugs that you encounter or otherwise they won't get fixed. You can private message me to report bugs.
Make sure your world is optimized (Singleplayer - Edit - Optimize World) for the Minecraft version you're playing (repeat after every Minecraft update). It takes A LOT longer to generate singleplayer maps from unoptimized world saves.
Install by dropping the jar into the Minecraft Forge's mods folder, as usual. A step-by-step guide is available on the download page.
Minecraft Realms support (also with MultiWorld support).
Texture Pack support. Changing the texture packs updates the whole world map.
Cave dimensions support (for example Nether).
Vanilla maps mode. Makes the world map look like vanilla paper maps.
Terrain texture customization.
"Footsteps" showing your most recent path.
Optional performance boosters. Although in most cases the mod performs great even without them.
Xaero's Minimap integration. The minimap mod will display chunks loaded by the world map. The world map mod will display waypoints from the Xaero's Minimap. Also works with Better PVP mod. You can edit and teleport to the waypoints without leaving the map interface.
Off-screen waypoint menu that can be opened on the map GUI by placing the mouse cursor in the bottom-right corner of the screen. Selecting a waypoint from the menu with the mouse scroll wheel and clicking the right mouse button will quickly move the map view to the selected waypoint to speed-up map scrolling.
You can also start typing a part of a waypoint's name to filter out unwanted waypoints. Pressing ENTER will restart the search.
Download Fabric API and put it in the "mods" folder in the Minecraft game directory.
Download the Fabric version of the map mod for your Minecraft version and put it in the mods folder.
Start the Fabric game "installation" using the Minecraft launcher.
Why does the world map ask for confirmation?
A single server address can have multiple overworlds, nethers etc. It can be due to multiple sub-servers or just multiple world saves, for example a "Lobby" world and a "Game" world. Different worlds don't have any unique identifiers on the client side, which makes it impossible to reliably differentiate between them. Because of this, the world map mod lets you have multiple world maps for each dimension on the same server address. By default, map selection is Manual, which means that you are asked to confirm which map to use every time you switch dimensions/worlds/sub-servers. You can also choose one of the 2 automatic modes. Map selection is done in a special menu by clicking the bottom left icon on the world map screen (if the menu isn't open my default). In the menu you can switch between Manual, World Spawn and Single modes and select/create maps by using the top dropdown menu. If you hover over the Map Selection option, you can read everything you need to know about each map selection mode, including Server mode. World Spawn mode is the equivalent of what was used by the world map pre 1.6, but it's now improved with the possibility of changing which map is used on what world. So you don't have to downgrade the mod to still use it. Server mode is the best option for most cases because the server controls your map selection based on server-side level IDs. It requires the mod to be installed on the server side.
Can't see your waypoints on a server after installation?
Your currently confirmed map affects which waypoints sub-world in the minimap mod is considered automatic. This allows each created map to have separate waypoints data. At any point in time, you can select and view any non-automatic waypoints sub-world by going to the waypoints menu (press U) and selecting it from top-right dropdown menu. You can make any sub-world automatic for your currently confirmed map by selecting Options -> Make Sub-World Auto.
Your world map has "reset" for a specific server?
Do not panic. It's almost certainly not actually deleted (this has never happened as far as I know). Old world map versions use a world spawn-based system to separate a server into multiple maps. This system often breaks because of servers adding custom functionality to the vanilla compass item by sending fake world spawn coordinates to your game client. Make sure you update the mod to the latest version. There are now multiple map selection modes you can choose between, Manual being the default one. You can now view any world map you have on the current server address. Click the bottom left icon on the world map to open the map selection menu, if it's not open by default. The top center dropdown menu allows you to select existing or create new world maps. You can hover over the map selection mode setting (bottom left) to read about how each mode works. Server mode is the best option for most cases because the server controls your map selection based on server-side level IDs. It requires the mod to be installed on the server side. Manual mode is the safest alternative and should work on every other server. There are also 2 additional automatic map selection modes when Server mode isn't an option. Read more about them in the tooltip of the setting.
Old map is not in the map menu? This can mean 2 things: the server address has changed or the dimension IDs have changed.
Let's start with the dimension ID change. Each dimension on the server has a separate directory in the game directory -> XaeroWorldMap directory. Please backup the XaeroWorldMap directory before you begin doing anything with it. The dimension directory name contains the server address and the dimension key, for example Multiplayer_127.0.0.1_DIM1. For compatibility reasons, default overworld, nether and the end dimensions are named null, DIM-1 and DIM1. Other dimensions should have their name be based on the original dimension ID, for example Multiplayer_127.0.0.1_minecraft$overworld_creative. In 1.16+, you can see your current dimension ID on the F3 screen ingame to figure out which directory is meant for which dimension (for example "minecraft:overworld"). Please exit to the game title screen or close the game before editing files/directories.
Each dimension directory contains sub-directories, one for each map that you have in the dimension (for example mw$default or mw-4,0,-4) as well as a file named dimension_config.txt that contains the actual display names of the maps. You can use the file to help you find a specific map directory that you want. Moving/copying a map directory between dimension directories should move/copy it between dimensions. You can give it a name later ingame. The most common case would be something like moving a map from _null to _minecraft$overworld_survival. It is needed when a 1.16+ server starts using a unique dimension ID for each sub-world.
For server address changes, you would first have to remove all directories inside game directory -> XaeroWorldMap that contain the new server address. Please backup the whole XaeroWorldMap directory before you do that. Also, exit the game at least to the title screen. Then you would have to rename each old server address directory (in XaeroWorldMap) to the new address, replacing ONLY the address part.
Message me or leave a comment if you have questions!
Here's the old explanation if you can't update the mod to 1.6.1 or newer:
Do not panic. It's almost certainly not actually deleted (this has never happened as far as I know). It's likely caused by a server plugin changing the behavior of the vanilla compass item and interfering with the mod's "multiworld" detection. In most such cases the compass item points to your bed instead of the global spawn point. Sleeping in the right bed again should bring everything back for you if sleeping in another one was the cause of the map "resetting".
If the map "reset" because of a new plugin being added (and if removing it is not an option for you), then here's how you can restore your map (and hope the plugin doesn't do it again):
Make sure Minecraft is NOT RUNNING.
1. Go to the game directory
2. Go to the XaeroWorldMap directory
3. Find directories that represent the dimensions you have visited on the server. These directories contain the address of the server in their name. The one that ends with _null is the overworld, _dim-1 is Nether etc.
4. Open the overworld directory (_null).
5. You should see multiple directories that start with mw.
6. Find the one that is the biggest in file size. Copy the name of it somewhere so you don't lose it.
7. Now find the newest mw directory (likely the emptiest or just check the creation date). Move this directory somewhere else. Don't delete it just yet.
8. Rename the directory from step 6 to the name of the backed up directory from step 7.
9. Open Minecraft and test if the overworld world map is back.
10. If it's not, exit Minecraft and restore the old name of the directory that you have renamed + restore the backed up folder. Reread all the steps to make sure you're doing everything right.
If overworld is now fixed, proceed to step 11.
11. Rename and backup the directories with the same names as overworld for every other dimension that you'd like to restore.
Contact me if you have questions!
The world map is restored but the waypoints are still not?
Please read the "Your waypoints are no longer shown for a specific server?" section on the minimap description page. It should cover most cases. Contact me, if it doesn't help.
You are allowed to make videos using this mod. Using it in your modpacks is ALLOWED as long as a link to one of my mod pages is provided and you do not profit from it (CurseForge modpacks are OK though). I'm very likely to make an exception for other commercial use if you contact me!

Alright! So I've been trying it out, and so far I love it! It already looks the best out of other world maps I've seen. I love the fact that it matches my resource pack, and for some reason, I really love the n/s/e/w indicator in the corner (it looks really nice and simple).
One suggestion I have is to either not have the so much of the map visible at once, or to have the option to toggle something like that. What I mean is that only a small area around the player could be visible, and more appears as the player walks around, in order to encourage exploration.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the planned features and integration with the minimap. Personally, I wouldn't need to see mobs on the big map, but waypoints would be great.
One issue I've caught is this exception in my log, as well as a lot of logspam:

Thanks for the feedback and for the report. The bug will be fixed and the suggestions considered
I already found that out, but once it comes out and mods for 1.9 start coming out, I will be using this mini-map. Thanks!
Hopefully Mojang didn't change the code too much. Or else we can expect the new Forge update in like a year
The dude behind Forge has probably also lost motivation because everyone just stays on 1.7.10. Hopefully 1.9 will do better than 1.8 in the terms of mods.
Is there anyway to allow you to move while the map is up? I've been playing for a long time, and my in game map is filled out for chunks in all directions of my start point. I have flying, so my preferred way to map is go up above tree level and move around until the black goes away, and the game maps let me do this. Your map, I have to open it, see where the nearest black is, close it, and go in that direction and hope that I hit it. Don't get me wrong, its a fantastic addition to the game experience, but it seemed frustrating to make it fully useful (ie, all filled out).

+ Improved how transparent blocks are rendered on the map, especially multiple transparent blocks on top of each other. Same changes will be made to the Minimap mod. (noticed a bug right after the update, will be fixed next time)
* Performance optimization.
Some of these changes might require reloading the chunks. Sorry for the inconvenience. This will only happen during the alpha testing.
Also, I would appreciate if you people could test the mod along-side other mods that add new blocks to the game!

I hate to ask this but is there anyway you could make a 1.7.10 version ? Please ! I love this mod ,and the idea . It would be awesome if it was for 1.7.10 ,and also part of your mini map mod built in .

This will be out for 1.7.10 when it's finished. So keep an eye out for that, I guess. The minimap will be integrated into this mod one way or another

The mod adds a self-writing fullscreen map to your Minecraft client. Works as a separate mod but is a lot better with Xaero's Minimap. The reason why it's available separately is to keep Xaero's Minimap as light-weight as possible.
The mod is still in development! Please report any bugs that you encounter or otherwise they won't get fixed. You can private message me to report bugs.
Make sure your world is optimized (Singleplayer - Edit - Optimize World) for the Minecraft version you're playing (repeat after every Minecraft update). It takes A LOT longer to generate singleplayer maps from unoptimized world saves.
Install by dropping the jar into the Minecraft Forge's mods folder, as usual. A step-by-step guide is available on the download page.

How to install the Fabric version:
Why does the world map ask for confirmation?
A single server address can have multiple overworlds, nethers etc. It can be due to multiple sub-servers or just multiple world saves, for example a "Lobby" world and a "Game" world. Different worlds don't have any unique identifiers on the client side, which makes it impossible to reliably differentiate between them. Because of this, the world map mod lets you have multiple world maps for each dimension on the same server address. By default, map selection is Manual, which means that you are asked to confirm which map to use every time you switch dimensions/worlds/sub-servers. You can also choose one of the 2 automatic modes. Map selection is done in a special menu by clicking the bottom left icon on the world map screen (if the menu isn't open my default). In the menu you can switch between Manual, World Spawn and Single modes and select/create maps by using the top dropdown menu. If you hover over the Map Selection option, you can read everything you need to know about each map selection mode, including Server mode. World Spawn mode is the equivalent of what was used by the world map pre 1.6, but it's now improved with the possibility of changing which map is used on what world. So you don't have to downgrade the mod to still use it. Server mode is the best option for most cases because the server controls your map selection based on server-side level IDs. It requires the mod to be installed on the server side.
Can't see your waypoints on a server after installation?
Your currently confirmed map affects which waypoints sub-world in the minimap mod is considered automatic. This allows each created map to have separate waypoints data. At any point in time, you can select and view any non-automatic waypoints sub-world by going to the waypoints menu (press U) and selecting it from top-right dropdown menu. You can make any sub-world automatic for your currently confirmed map by selecting Options -> Make Sub-World Auto.
Your world map has "reset" for a specific server?
Do not panic. It's almost certainly not actually deleted (this has never happened as far as I know). Old world map versions use a world spawn-based system to separate a server into multiple maps. This system often breaks because of servers adding custom functionality to the vanilla compass item by sending fake world spawn coordinates to your game client. Make sure you update the mod to the latest version. There are now multiple map selection modes you can choose between, Manual being the default one. You can now view any world map you have on the current server address. Click the bottom left icon on the world map to open the map selection menu, if it's not open by default. The top center dropdown menu allows you to select existing or create new world maps. You can hover over the map selection mode setting (bottom left) to read about how each mode works. Server mode is the best option for most cases because the server controls your map selection based on server-side level IDs. It requires the mod to be installed on the server side. Manual mode is the safest alternative and should work on every other server. There are also 2 additional automatic map selection modes when Server mode isn't an option. Read more about them in the tooltip of the setting.
Old map is not in the map menu? This can mean 2 things: the server address has changed or the dimension IDs have changed.
Let's start with the dimension ID change. Each dimension on the server has a separate directory in the game directory -> XaeroWorldMap directory. Please backup the XaeroWorldMap directory before you begin doing anything with it. The dimension directory name contains the server address and the dimension key, for example Multiplayer_127.0.0.1_DIM1. For compatibility reasons, default overworld, nether and the end dimensions are named null, DIM-1 and DIM1. Other dimensions should have their name be based on the original dimension ID, for example Multiplayer_127.0.0.1_minecraft$overworld_creative. In 1.16+, you can see your current dimension ID on the F3 screen ingame to figure out which directory is meant for which dimension (for example "minecraft:overworld"). Please exit to the game title screen or close the game before editing files/directories.
Each dimension directory contains sub-directories, one for each map that you have in the dimension (for example mw$default or mw-4,0,-4) as well as a file named dimension_config.txt that contains the actual display names of the maps. You can use the file to help you find a specific map directory that you want. Moving/copying a map directory between dimension directories should move/copy it between dimensions. You can give it a name later ingame. The most common case would be something like moving a map from _null to _minecraft$overworld_survival. It is needed when a 1.16+ server starts using a unique dimension ID for each sub-world.
For server address changes, you would first have to remove all directories inside game directory -> XaeroWorldMap that contain the new server address. Please backup the whole XaeroWorldMap directory before you do that. Also, exit the game at least to the title screen. Then you would have to rename each old server address directory (in XaeroWorldMap) to the new address, replacing ONLY the address part.
Message me or leave a comment if you have questions!
Here's the old explanation if you can't update the mod to 1.6.1 or newer:
Do not panic. It's almost certainly not actually deleted (this has never happened as far as I know). It's likely caused by a server plugin changing the behavior of the vanilla compass item and interfering with the mod's "multiworld" detection. In most such cases the compass item points to your bed instead of the global spawn point. Sleeping in the right bed again should bring everything back for you if sleeping in another one was the cause of the map "resetting".
If the map "reset" because of a new plugin being added (and if removing it is not an option for you), then here's how you can restore your map (and hope the plugin doesn't do it again):
Make sure Minecraft is NOT RUNNING.
1. Go to the game directory
2. Go to the XaeroWorldMap directory
3. Find directories that represent the dimensions you have visited on the server. These directories contain the address of the server in their name. The one that ends with _null is the overworld, _dim-1 is Nether etc.
4. Open the overworld directory (_null).
5. You should see multiple directories that start with mw.
6. Find the one that is the biggest in file size. Copy the name of it somewhere so you don't lose it.
7. Now find the newest mw directory (likely the emptiest or just check the creation date). Move this directory somewhere else. Don't delete it just yet.
8. Rename the directory from step 6 to the name of the backed up directory from step 7.
9. Open Minecraft and test if the overworld world map is back.
10. If it's not, exit Minecraft and restore the old name of the directory that you have renamed + restore the backed up folder. Reread all the steps to make sure you're doing everything right.
If overworld is now fixed, proceed to step 11.
11. Rename and backup the directories with the same names as overworld for every other dimension that you'd like to restore.
Contact me if you have questions!
The world map is restored but the waypoints are still not?
Please read the "Your waypoints are no longer shown for a specific server?" section on the minimap description page. It should cover most cases. Contact me, if it doesn't help.

Alright! So I've been trying it out, and so far I love it! It already looks the best out of other world maps I've seen. I love the fact that it matches my resource pack, and for some reason, I really love the n/s/e/w indicator in the corner (it looks really nice and simple).
One suggestion I have is to either not have the so much of the map visible at once, or to have the option to toggle something like that. What I mean is that only a small area around the player could be visible, and more appears as the player walks around, in order to encourage exploration.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the planned features and integration with the minimap. Personally, I wouldn't need to see mobs on the big map, but waypoints would be great.
One issue I've caught is this exception in my log, as well as a lot of logspam:

I guess it might be an issue with a specific mod? But the message ballooned my log to 124mbs, and eventually my game started to freeze as I noticed that all my ram was taken up (out of 6gb). I've never maxed out before on 1.8.9, so that really surprised me.
Anyway great job~ I'm looking forward to further development.

Update a1.1 (MC 1.8.9):
* Reworked Nether maps. Now shows air pockets starting from the top bedrock. Still not perfect but decent (see screenshot).
* Fixed crash while in Nether. Reported by musicatthedisco.
* Fixed Silent Gems crash + memory leak. Reported by sweetsosweet.

Thank you for this. Now, if you could make a version for 1.9, and your minimap as well, I will be switching to this.

This mod looks AWESOME! Great to see that you're making another extremely useful but not game-changing mod.

Curse PremiumHopefully Mojang didn't change the code too much. Or else we can expect the new Forge update in like a year
The dude behind Forge has probably also lost motivation because everyone just stays on 1.7.10. Hopefully 1.9 will do better than 1.8 in the terms of mods.

Is there anyway to allow you to move while the map is up? I've been playing for a long time, and my in game map is filled out for chunks in all directions of my start point. I have flying, so my preferred way to map is go up above tree level and move around until the black goes away, and the game maps let me do this. Your map, I have to open it, see where the nearest black is, close it, and go in that direction and hope that I hit it. Don't get me wrong, its a fantastic addition to the game experience, but it seemed frustrating to make it fully useful (ie, all filled out).
