Blaze Map

Blaze Map is an extensible mapping mod with open source code. In addition to basic world mapping functions through mini-map and world map views, this mod is designed so that other modifications can easily add their own maps and mapping data.

Features for Blaze Map users:

• Various default map types

  • Aerial view
  • Terrain relief

• Multiple switchable information layers for each map type

• World map for getting a broad overview of your world (key B)

  • Export "atlas" view of the world map (key F12)

• Customizable mini-map

  • Resizing and repositioning by dragging (combination shift + B)
  • Selection of map type and displayed layers (combination shift + B)
  • Turning on and off (command /blazemap minimap on/off)

• Display of nearby mobs (configurable in configuration file)

• Adding waypoints to the map with customizable color and icon (key N)

• Managing waypoints in your world (combination shift + N)

• Absence of cave view mode (for now this is more of an absence of unwanted feature, but cave viewing is planned to be added in the future without the ability to peek into unexplored areas!)

Features for mod and modpack developers:

• Fully open source
• Performance and debugging (command /blazemap debug on/off)
• Integration with built-in profiling tools of Minecraft (combination F3 + L)
• Enabling and disabling additional features through configuration file or API
• Adding new map types and layers through API
  • Standard Blaze Map maps are added using their own API!
• Separation of world representation data from visual display, allowing for more complex visualizations
• Flexible tools for representing data on the map
• Ability to move data processing from the main thread to minimize impact on performance
