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

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!
Hi!
I have tried several map mod, and I can say that this is the best. Congrats.
I use 1.7.10 version and I run into a problem.
There are some underworld mods (e.g. The Erebus) that has ceiling like the nether.
Is it possible to use the same algorithm to render the map like the nether?
I mean this:
(chunk.dimension == -1) // use ceiling algorithm for nether
Is it possible to use a parameter list for such dimension IDs?
That would be perfect.
Thanks in advance.
In reply to tomesz007a:
so the sealing should be at the same y value. else i will have to code alot of exceptions.
i'll put it on my todo list.
In reply to VectronDiablon:
I see.
I have just checked it, and The Erebus dimension has exactly the same ceiling that the nether. Perfect. (foot position y=128)
The dimension ID is: 66
I think you don't need to introduce a parameter for underworld dimensions. It is enough to add this constant dimension ID to the code.
And the Erebus mod is supported.
Thanks in advance.
Hello.
I playing with Biomes O' Plenty mod and recently downloaded the newest Map Writer 2 version, I got a Cherry Blossom forest went from pink to green on the map when I re-explore it, is there is any cure for that or is it suppose to be like that?

In reply to VectronDiablon:
Would it be possible to implement this mod with the Rift ModLoader for 1.13 or does it depend on a lot of forge-specific stuff?
