Source-provided project description. FreeMinecraftMods keeps creator credit and adds separate compatibility and decision guidance below.

Project overview

A vanilla-friendly mini-map/world-view mod using vanilla Maps, introducing the "Atlas". Fabric version found HERE Who knew this whole time, all you had to do to get a mini-map was slap a map onto a book? Showcase Video 📖 About📖 Crafted with a Filled Map, a Book and something sticky (Slimeball or Honey Bottle) The source map determines the Atlas' scale. To expand the atlas simply add Filled or Empty maps to it via Crafting or Cartography Table. Filled Maps which are added must be of same Scale. To remove maps you can craft it with shears in a Crafting Table. Using a Cartography Table instead allows for more control Configurable to change the cost for adding Empty Maps to your Atlas to use Paper instead of Maps. Maps from different mods such as Supplementaries Slice Maps or Twilight Forest Magic and Maze Maps can also be added Atlases can be cloned and merged within a Cartography table Atlases will render a Minimap on the top left of your screen. Only works when the Atlas is active (on your hot-bar or off-hand by default). Empty Maps are consumed when you enter an un-mapped region, generating new maps and expalding the atlas. (Not needed in creative) You can lock the atlas by shift clicking it, preventing new maps from being created. Atlases do work inter-dimensionally . They create new Maps in new Dimensions as you'd expect. The Minimap supports the ability to display extra information such as your current X, Y, & Z coordinates, cardinal directions as well as your current Biome. Minimap can be changed to following and rotate with the player, or use the grid based Vanilla Map system. Using an atlas on a "Map decoration providing block" (Such as banners) will add it to the atlas. Same effect can be achieved by pressing " b " A World Map is also added: To access it, right-click the Atlas or press " m " while having an active Atlas. You can also place an Atlas on a Lectern and access the worldmap from there It has selectable bookmark for each Dimension or Slice you've explored and created Map entries for. Select them to switch view. It also has selectable tabs for each Map Decoration you've added in each Dimension. Clicking these will center your view on them. Display the active X & Z coordinates of the point your mouse is hovering over. Use scrollwheel to zoom in and out. Press Shift to zoom faster. Has full pan support as well. Using your mouse to drag across the map. Press " shift " while clicking on a Map Decoration bookmark to delete it. You can configure the World Map to have an alternative and bigger "book" appearance rather than a square appearance. When in creative you will also be able to teleport using the World Map. Just click anywhere while holding shift. Atlas will have additional functionality with the following mods: Moonlight Lib: Waypoints can be added by clicking on the waypoint "red pin" button or by pressing "b". Waypoints are client only , other palyers wont see them. Hold shift to place a named waypoint or change the color. While in the placed named waypoint screen you can click on the waypoint icon or use scroll wheel to change its color Placed waypoints cannot be edited but can be removed by shift clicking. You can target a waypoint by pressing click + "ctrl". Targeted waypoints will always be displayed on the edge of your minimap. Xaero Minimap waypoints can be automatically converted by turning it on in the configs. Entity Radar can be enabled, allowing to view nearby mobs as small markers on your minimap. Supplementaries Custom Map Markers can be added to the atlas like normal markers. See Supplementaries Wiki for supported blocks. Slice Maps can be added to the atlas. This will allow you to map out the Nether. You can switch the current viewed slice by using keybind or throught the World Map "Slice Map" bookmark. Once on a slice the atlas will continue generating maps for that slice. Configs are there to automatically switch the Minimap view to the slice with closest Y level. Antique Ink can be used to create an Antique Atlas. The "Map Type" button will be added to the bottom of your World Map. Use its arrow keys to cycle Y level. Click on the button to cycle map type (i.e. from TF Maze Maps to Vanilla Maps). Maps will follow biome colors using the mod Colored Maps feature. Maps will use block light at night.
