v2.0.0 — Smooth panning rewrite

A ground-up rewrite of how the map is drawn. The minimap now pans smoothly under a centred player marker instead of being re-rendered frame by frame, and it is far lighter on the server.

Smooth & light

• The map now glides as you move (client-side panning) — no more stepwise refreshes.
• Terrain is only re-streamed when you cross into new area or it changes; the heavy rendering runs off the main server thread, so there are no tick lag spikes even with many players online.

Works in every world

• Terrain now appears in freshly entered / newly generated worlds (custom worlds, dungeon worlds, etc.), not just long-explored ones — the map data is requested on demand.

Fixes

• No more crash when changing worlds. Using world-transfer / dungeon mods (or any teleport between worlds) no longer kicks you.
• The HUD no longer turns dark/faint after a world change, and the direction arrow keeps working after switching worlds.

Look

• A circular map with a border ring, N / O / S / W compass letters, and a directional player arrow that turns with your facing. The map is north-up.
• Nearby creatures are coloured by attitude — white friendly, yellow neutral, red hostile (and a neutral creature turns red while it is actively hunting). Other players and your death marker are shown too.

Per-player & coexisting

• Every player configures their own minimap (markers, zoom, mob height filter); settings are saved per player.
• The panel size is a server-wide setting in config.json (see below) — one consistent size for everyone.
• Rendered via direct packets, so it lives alongside other custom HUDs.

In-game settings page — /mm settings

• A clickable page to toggle the map on/off, step the zoom radius, toggle player / creature / death markers, and set the mob height filter. Changes apply live, in place.

Commands

• /mm settings (/mm gui, /mm menu) — open the settings page
• /mm on / /mm off — toggle the minimap
• /mm zoom <16..256> — visible radius in blocks
• /mm height <4..256>|off — only show mobs within ±N blocks of your height
• /mm markers players|entities|death on|off — marker toggles
• /mm status — show your current settings

Config — mods/de.glymera_GlymeraMinimap/config.json

• sizePixels (120..360, default 240) — minimap panel size, server-wide, applied on (re)join.
