This mod adds a world map and a minimap using vanilla maps and makes vanilla maps cheaper and easier to manage by using the new Atlas item.
Unlike other world map/minimap mods which ignore vanilla maps and make them obsolete, MapStitch makes them much more enjoyable to use and turns them into a core part of the world map and minimap.
MapStitch uses filled maps from your inventory to create a world map which you can open at any time by pressing M or right-clicking while holding an atlas.
The world map can only show one dimension and scale at once. These can be switched in the world map itself. There are basic controls like panning and zooming using the mouse, and toggleable player following and map grid overlay. A keybind reference can be brought up at any time by pressing H. Most of the keybinds can be rebound in the vanilla Controls menu.
The player marker, coordinates, and grid overlay require having a compass anywhere in the inventory.
Making maps is now cheaper, requiring only 9 paper instead of 8 paper and a compass, but they won't show your position unless you have a compass in your inventory.
The inventory doesn't have much space for maps, but the brand-new Atlas item does! Create an atlas by combining a filled map and a book. The atlas can then be used like a bundle to store empty maps and filled maps matching the scale of the filled map used to create the atlas (up to 16384 items in total).
Maps from the atlas will be used to create the world map, and the atlas will automatically turn empty maps inside it into filled maps as you enter unmapped areas.
Scrolling while hovering over an atlas will switch between ejecting filled or empty maps first.
Right-clicking with an atlas in hand when targeting a banner will create a banner marker on the currently active map, just like regular maps do.
Having an atlas in the hotbar and a compass anywhere in your inventory will display a minimap showing the map where you're currently located.
If multiple atlases are present, the minimap will prioritize the atlas in your hands, otherwise the first atlas will be used.
mapstitch:require_compass_for_pos: Whether a compass is required to display the minimap and the player marker, coordinates, and grid overlay in the world map (default true)These can be configured either through Sodium video settings or in a config screen provided by YACL. Both mods are optional and the config can be edited manually through mapstitch.json in the config folder, but it's highly recommended to use one of the two config screens instead.
