Configuration

The mod can be configured in-game using the command /explorersmap. You will need to be op or have the permission explorersmap.command to run the command.

Settings UI

The mod comes with the following configuration file:

mods/Cerus_ExplorersMap/ExplorersMap.json

{
  // The radius of chunks around your player that will be discovered.
  // Warning: Setting this any higher than 10 could make your game or server very laggy.
  "ExplorationRadius": 3,
  // When set to true, each player will each have a different map and will only see the places they've personally been to.
  // When set to false, all players share a map and will see where others have been to. Includes live updates.
  "PerPlayerMap": true,
  // The rate at which cached tile images are loaded from the disk. This value is per tick.
  "DiskLoadRate": 16,
  // The rate at which the chunks around the player are mapped into tiles. This value is per tick. Vanilla value is 20.
  "GenerationRate": 20,
  // Sets how far you can zoom out. Min value is 2.
  "MinZoom": 8.0,  // When set to true, tiles from instances (temporary worlds) will be saved to disk.  // Each instance type gets a dedicated folder.  "SaveInstanceTiles": false,
  // The tile resolution. Available resolutions:
  // - BEST: 96x96 tiles. Vanilla. Will crash the game on very well explored maps.
  // - GOOD: 32x32 tiles. Still very detailed. Might crash the game on well explored maps.
  // - FAST: 16x16 tiles. Default. Looks good enough.
  // - FASTER: 8x8 tiles. Starting to lose a lot of detail.
  // - FASTEST: 4x4 tiles. Almost no detail left. Only use if all other resolutions crash the game.
  "Resolution": "FAST"
}

Technical details

The plugin will cache generated tiles on the disk as images. This significantly reduces the stress on the game to generate chunks.
- The tiles are stored at mods/Cerus_ExplorersMap/tiles
The information which chunks have been discovered by who is stored at mods/Cerus_ExplorersMap/discovered
The mod overwrites the vanilla map rendering mechanic. This could lead to incompatibilities with other mods doing the same.
