A vanilla-friendly mini-map/world-view mod using vanilla Maps, introducing the "Atlas".
Forge 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?
📖 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.
Triknets
- You can add your atlas to the trinket Hands slot
Twilight Forest
- Magic Maps and Maze maps can be added to the Atlas
- Toggle between them using the Map Type button in your World Map screen.

Optional Dependencies:
Recommended Additions
- Cheaper Maps Recipe Data Pack [1.19] - Why would a Map require a Compass? This Data Pack adds a recipe for Empty Maps that's simply 1 Paper + 1 Ink Sac shapeless. Alternative if you rather not use the Paper cost setting.
- Optional "Modern" Resource Pack [1.19] - This Resource Pack gives the Mini-map and World-map a "modern" look, abandoning the vanilla Map style textures.
