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

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?
In reply to Tyansilliya:
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?
In reply to Allegria1:
i think you switched to underground map mode (u)
In reply to VectronDiablon:
omg thank you so so so much!!!!!!! btw I freaking love this mod, i was so sad when i messed it up XD Thank you again!!!!
This is awesome. A public domain map mod! Person I know wants to have their own custom setup for a map, but we don't have to time to code a full map from ground-up, and this is the perfect solution! Thank you so much for this!
Are you updating it for 1.13?
Mapwriter is hands-down my favourite map mod.
In reply to GuyBry:
i will update but i dont have a eta for it yet
In reply to VectronDiablon:
Fantastic, that's all I needed to hear!
Thanks
im playing"meat castle adventures" (1.7.10) and it uses both journeymap and mapwriter for some reason. this is creating some weird thing where the mapwriter borders are gone and it just a random floating ugly map with a black background. ive tried to find the mapwriter in the mods file but i cant find it anywhere. any suggestions??
Are there any mods this can clash with? I loaded my game yesterday and my map didn't show any land I had discovered and wouldn't show up as I walked around, I'm using 1.12.2
Hi!
I discovered an error in the source (1.7.10), which caused some trouble in rendering the Erebus dimension surface.
BlockColourGen.java:
genBlockColours(BlockColours bc) function:
for (int dv = 0; dv < 17; dv++) {
the correct is
for (int dv = 0; dv < 16; dv++) {
After this correction everything works fine.
I love Mapwriter 2!
