1.14 and 1.16 versions are for Fabric.
Vanilla maps are great and all, but they only ever update when you actually hold the map. It's easy to forget to look at the map when you want to update it, and having to lug a map around in place of something more useful like a shield while you explore, is pretty inconvenient.
And that's what this mod changes. Crowmap just makes maps update as long as they're anywhere in your inventory, fixing those problems. Tada.
Crowmap also adds a small tooltip, just to inform you that the mod is present and a bit about what it does. It doesn't appear unless you shift
Why's it called Crowmap? Well, it was made for /u/Crowfooted after this reddit thread brought up the idea.
This mod is free software. Yes, that means you can put it in your modpack.

Does the 1.14 version work for 1.14.4?
i think so
In reply to quat1024:
Thanks!
thanks quat
Thanks for the 1.16 update! You're a beast @quat1024!

Can you please update the game version at the top? Next to the title to Fabric if you do not plan on updating forge? This seems rather confusing that you decided to build your mod on Forge for 1.12 then swapped to Fabric on 1.14. Sorry, but its a good mod, just some bad choices here
Yeah I agree, Forge did make some bad choices rewriting for 1.14.
In reply to quat1024:
I know it's been a few month, but what choices specifically?
Not planning to argue or anything, but genuenly want to know.
Thank you in advance.
Do you plan to update for forge?
No.
Is this server side only?
I think both the 1.12 and 1.14 versions might work server-side only, but I don't know how to actually make a mod be optional on the client :|

In reply to DDZiroWan:
If you test this server-side only could you please update here and let us know if it does?
Nice, thank you. Any chance you would consider implementing a folder to hold maps (like an atlas) sort of like an improved version of bibliocrafts one?
It would be awesome if Crowmap worked better with other mods. For example, with the Camping Mod 2, the map doesn't update in a backpack or in the dedicated map slot which shows the map in the top right of the screen like journey map and the like.
There's this function on all items called "onUpdate", which Minecraft calls every tick for every item in your inventory. In this function, the vanilla map item updates the player position icon on the map, then checks to see if the map is in your hand, and if it is, updates the map data. All Crowmap does is override that function to unconditionally update the map, even if a player is not holding it.
So the point of that long tangent :P - if a mod does not call onUpdate on the map item, unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it from this mod. Ask the developer of that camping mod to call onUpdate on the item in the map slot and this mod will probably start working. Or maybe they don't use a vanilla map item, in which case there's also nothing I can do haha
