• Clientside maps
• Map screens (arrangement of clientside maps)
• Simple and reasonably lightweight
• Easy to use developer api
• Advanced engine features like alpha compositing (Image)
• Efficient click handling
• Supports 1.16.5 - 1.21.11

Quick start for developers

Please take a look at the wiki for an in-depth explanation of the api.

Maven setup

[!WARNING]
I'm unable to deploy the latest version to Maven Central at this time. There have been zero changes to the api, so you can still use the old version (3.8.12) until I've found a fix.

FAQ

Why is there a plugin module if maps is not a standalone plugin?
The plugin handles the creation, management and storage of map screens. You do not need the plugin if you make your own creation, management and storage solution.

Please feel free to open an issue or contact me if you have any questions that were not answered here.
