Description
## Which map is which?
You have a chest full of maps that all say "Map #12", "Map #13", "Map #27"... To find the one of your base you have to take each one out and hold it.
**Map Preview Tooltip** shows the **map picture right in the tooltip**. Just hover over a map in any inventory or chest.
## Features
- **Map picture in the tooltip** of every filled map.
- **Hold Shift** for a bigger preview.
- **Markers** (players, banners, frames) are shown too - can be turned off.
- Works in your inventory, chests, shulker boxes, creative tabs - anywhere a map tooltip appears.
- Uses Minecraft's own map drawing, so it looks exactly like the real map.
## Settings
The file `config/cleanmappreview.properties` is created on first launch:
- `enabled` (true)
- `size` - preview size in pixels (64)
- `shiftSize` - size while holding Shift (128)
- `showMarkers` (true)
## Works on servers
This is a **client-side only** mod. It only draws map data your game has already received. It doesn't reveal maps you've never loaded. Works on any server and on Realms.
## Honest limitations
- A map you haven't held or seen since you joined may show "Map not loaded yet" - hold it once and the preview appears. (Your game only gets a map's picture from the server when you use it.)
- Empty maps (never opened) have no picture, so nothing is shown for them.
- Other mods that also add map previews may draw a second one.
- The settings are in a config file; there is no in-game settings screen yet.
