The mod was originally created by Mapwriter. Original thread
Since he did not update the mod for a long time, I decided to continue the mod.
In game mini map mode (circular map mode enabled in map GUI options menu)
In game full screen GUI.
Zooming out to see the world.
Features:
- In game mini-map for multiplayer and singleplayer.
- Client side (server does not need to have the mod installed).
- The areas you explore are saved and can be viewed by scrolling or zooming the map, even when you are in a completely different part of the world.
- Full screen map GUI. Set waypoints by right clicking, pan map by click dragging, zoom with the mouse wheel.
- Rotating circular mini map mode. Can be enabled in the options GUI.
- Colours for blocks automatically generated from the block's texture.
- Support for custom texture packs.
- Support for blocks added by mods.
- Biomes now coloured appropriately.
- Entire map can be written to a PNG image.
- When in the Nether the mini map shows your effective location in the Overworld. This makes placing portals easier.
- Underground map mode (vastly improved in 2.0.14).
- All block colours configurable

guys stop asking for higher versions, this mod stopped updating at 1.12.2 and journey map is basically a better alternative
edit: plus the owner has not been online since 2021
1.19.1?
Hey! I was just wondering if you could add in a feature where you can delete markers? (If there is already then I'm blind) because it's just makes the map a bit less cluttered and a little more tidy, thank you!
Hello! how do i make it full screen?!
PROVIDED I GIVE CREDIT AND LINK BACK TO THIS PAGE WHEREVER IT MAY BE DOWNLOADED, MAY I PLEASE HAVE PERMISSION TO USE THIS MOD IN MY MODPACK?
Gray block issue!
I was trying to fix this for one year and found that this file is causing it: MapWriterBlockColourOverrides.txt
Just delete that and all green again. No gravel blocks
1.16.4?
for some reason my map data gets deleted everytime i close my modded 1.7.10 server. how to fix this issue?
The map colors get all wrong after a while. This always happens. I'm playing on a multiplayer server, then I install mapwriter 2, after some time playing the map colors get all weird.
Before the bug happens it looks like THIS
then after as while it gets like THIS
Help! I don't know what I did, but now I can't see my player deaths. I wanted to change to an old version of the mod in my server and now I can't see my player deaths. Anyway to fix this/restart it?
I am using map writer 2 with Minecraft on 12. Version and it will not let me set waypoints. What am I doing wrong? I downloaded straight through twitch to my proper settings.
Hey Guys,
So When I am in the Nether - MapWriter does not show Sky Bases - even if they are lower than 255 - Is there any way we change the settings so these will show?
Thank you

Hey! so i have a slight problem with the mod. it works flawlessly, but the textures are messed up. on the map, all grass is brown and certain leaves appear as grey. any help?
Please bring to 1.14.4
Hi there,
I have used this Mod for ages and I LOVE IT, as I use it to find Sky Vaults in Factions.
However the map has stopped showing my blocks at a certain height - Nothing at build height or just below is showing up on the mini map at all - Not even cobble.
Does anyone have a fix for this - as this is what I use it for and nothing else really and it if stops showing me objects at build height, then I sadly can't use it.
Any help would be appreciated as I love this mod as its the best min map out there.
Thank you for your help
Kiwi

- Update - it shows blocks at 255 height - not build height 256 (which it did before)
Thank you
Any planned updates for 1.14?

Yes, but real life caught up with me so i have no eta.
How do you fix the grey coloured areas on the map if it’s mod block compatible??
Hi I'm using an older version of this mod, but somehow I managed to reset my map to be unexplored. But the range is smaller, along with logging of now resets it. It also brightens the horizon that I am on. I am not sure what buttons i hit to do that. Any idea?
