MapFrontiers
This mod is an addon for Journey Map that allows you to divide the map into regions and assign them names and colors.
To create and manage frontiers you have to use a Frontier Book. When you open a book for the first time, it will be assigned to the current dimension and will allow you to create your first frontier. It also provides some data and an image.
In creative mode you can find the book in the tools tab.
You can craft it with this recipe:
Current limitations
- Doesn't support frontiers that intersect themselves.
- Sometimes frontiers disappear (bug in JourneyMap 1.12). Opening the book usually fixes the problem.
New version 1.1.0
Now it can be used in multiplayer (servers and LAN). All players and server need to have the mod. It does not yet have a permission system, all players connected to the server can modify and remove all frontiers.
Need Journey Map 1.12.2-5.7.0.
You can see this and my other projects in alejandrocoria.games.
Looks amazing, cant wait for a permission system like griefprevention
In reply to SkullHunter111:
It will not be about the permissions of the blocks, but about who has permission to modify the frontier data, create or delete them. For example, players can only change the color and name of the borders created by themselves. Or that only OPs can make changes and players only see them.
Something akin to griefprevention isn't a bad idea, but I think that's not what this mod is about.
In reply to meme_sapiens:
It could be helpfull tho cause what you're saying with the above would help alot to but it would suck if people can just build freely into your zone
In reply to SkullHunter111:
I will consider it in the future. Maybe I will do it if I find a mod with some API that allows me to communicate the zones and manage those permissions for me.
I love it, i've wanted it for years, I'll send you $15 bucks but don't know how to do bitcoin. Only suggestion is to allow adding banners to frontiers!
In reply to hukenon:
I plan to add banners in the future, if I can.
That money would be very helpful to me. You can use https://local.bitcoin.com/ to buy BCH without giving personal details (although sellers sell it a little expensive). The other way I have to receive money is through Paypal: https://paypal.me/alejandrocoriagames.
Thank you very very much!
Are you planning on a 1.15.2 version anytime soon?
In reply to mjlmjl888:
After I restructure the mod to work on the server, I'm going to analyze if I want to make the version for 1.15.2 or add more functionality.
Looks nice. Would be great to have the option to mark areas as chunk selections, rather than "polygons", though.
Perhaps it could integrate with ftb utils chunk team chunk claiming.
In reply to Ruukas:
I prefer the polygon system, but I'm going to look at ftb utils chunk claiming.
This is a very cool idea! I presume multiplayer support is planned.
In reply to BrisingrAerowing:
Thank you! I plan to make it work in multiplayer. At the moment I do not know if I am going to make the frontiers shared by everyone connected to the server, Journeymap does not share the maps between the players. I have to see how difficult it would be to do.
In reply to meme_sapiens:
You’d probably have to send a custom packet with the frontier data (boundary points, name, etc) and sync that from the server to other clients.
In reply to BrisingrAerowing:
I was thinking about it. I have to learn how to achieve that with little code duplication between multiplayer and singleplayer. And make it work on LAN too.
In reply to meme_sapiens:
It works the same in any fashion, as SP is actually an integrated server that works just like a dedicated server. LAN games simply allow external connections to the integrated server. So code it once, and it works anywhere (as long as you did it right).
In reply to BrisingrAerowing:
It's more or less what I imagine. I suppose there is a distinction to be made so as not to send packets in singleplayer, or does the client communicate with the integrated server using packets?
In reply to meme_sapiens:
Yes, packets are used in all cases.
In reply to BrisingrAerowing:
Great! I guess I have some restructuring to do. Thank you for your comments!
