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. Use PM to report bugs.

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.

Current Mod Features:

• Self-writing world map (as opposed to manual paper maps). Different for every world/dimension/server.
• Works in Singleplayer, Multiplayer and on Realms.
• Intuitive interface. Open by pressing M. Move the map around with your mouse and zoom in/out using the mouse wheel, similar to Google Maps.
• Automatic MultiWorld / Lilypadded etc servers support.
• 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.

I'll be sure to check it out and report anything, bugs or suggestions! Looks good just from the screenshot.

Thanks! Hopefully will get it into decent shape before the actual release

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.

Thanks for the feedback and for the report. The bug will be fixed and the suggestions considered

To Download->

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.

Forge is not out for 1.9 yet but I'll probably update to 1.9 when it is.

Quote from EthanLac»

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

Thanks

Quote from sweetsosweet»

Got a chance to test out the newest update, and it seems like the issues I pointed out are all cleared up. Thanks for the quick turnaround.

Glad to hear!

Quote from The_Crowbar»

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.

Quote from Remescao»

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).

I'll see what I can do!

Quote from axzxc1236»

Can I have this mod in my modpack?
I know it is alpha but it works fine for me.

You can but I'd not recommend that just yet. It might work fine right now but it's not finished.

To Download->

Update a1.2 (MC 1.8.9):

+ Added togglable lighting.
+ 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

is download link broken? when i click download on newest version it says "server not found".
