• Transfer maps to public domain
• Clean maps in the cartography table (optional)

Configuration Management

For changing configuration: Command: /map-art config <config-value> Requires permission: map-art-copyright.change-config 🌀 Alternatively, edit the file manually: config/map-art-copyright/map-art-copyright.yml

TIP: You can also customize mod messages in file: config/map-art-copyright/lang.yml

Author Management

Adding Co-authors

/map-art add <player> — add a co-author

Removing Co-authors

/map-art remove <player> — remove a co-author

💡 Important: To execute these commands, you must be the main author (the first player who created the filled map) OR have the corresponding permissions:

• map-art-copyright.add-author
• map-art-copyright.remove-author

Map Accessibility

/map-art change-accessibility — allows transferring your artwork to public domain.

After transferring, the map becomes publicly accessible — anyone can copy it manually or using automatic devices.

Technical Information: The mod uses fabric-permissions-api. For permission management, it's recommended to use LuckPerms or other compatible mods.
