Description
Astro's World Map
A persistent world map for Hytale. Hytale normally forgets map tiles as you move on. Astro's World Map saves everything you explore, so your map is still there next session. It adds waypoints, teleporting, cave mode, mob icons and privacy controls on top of the game's own world map. It is inspired by Xaero's World Map a minecraft map mod and built from scratch for Hytale.
Want the on-screen HUD map too? Add Astro's Minimap. It builds on this mod, so install this one first.
FEATURES
- Persistent map: explored areas are saved to disk and come back next session. Saving is crash-safe, and damaged files are recovered rather than lost.
- Fog of war: each player sees only what they have explored.
- Shared map option: turn on one common map for the whole server with /awm share.
- Cave mode: underground, the map shows the layer you're standing in instead of the surface above you.
- Waypoints: personal markers with colours, sets and automatic death points. Share them with a chat string. Manage them with /wp.
- Teleporting: to a waypoint, a death point or exact coordinates. Each kind has its own permission and its own on/off setting for admins.
- Mob icons: 22 icon categories (undead, boss, golem, spider, bird and more). Hostile mobs stand out, and you can add your own rules for modded mobs.
- Per-player privacy: /mapprivacy lets each player hide players, spawn, death points, points of interest, global or personal waypoints and mobs on their own map.
- World border: square or circle limit, shown on the Minimap.
- Footsteps trail: see where you've been.
- Memory-friendly: tiles near you stay loaded, far ones are unloaded. Pick a quality level (low, medium or high) to balance detail against map size.
- Admin tools: /awm to save, reload, change settings, track worlds, benchmark and reset.
- API for other mods: Astro's Minimap uses it, and other mods can too.
