Antique Atlas 4

by sleepingdragoninn

Antique Atlas 4 gives players a hand-drawn world map on screen, with waypoint markers, map sharing and structure discovery, built on Surveyor Map Framework.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltClient-side onlyGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or laterOpen source1.19.2 – 1.21.1

What it does

The map screen draws the world as hand-drawn tiles, one per chunk, and players pan by dragging, zoom with the scroll wheel, and place or remove markers with the bookmark buttons. Pressing M opens the map at any time. Structures and active nether portals receive markers automatically, and a structure appears on the map only after the player has looked at it or stood on it in-game.

The mod is a client-side frontend for Surveyor Map Framework, which must be installed alongside it, and it also requires Fabric API. Antique Atlas 4 is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source. Files exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering game versions 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with the latest file for 1.21.1 dated 2026-01-05.

Tiles, markers, biome detection and structure detection are defined through resource packs rather than code, and biomes without definitions are guessed from tags. The environment is client-side only, so servers need no installation, and the surveyor command can send a player's explored areas to a friend.

Key features

  1. Hand-drawn map screen

    Chunks are drawn as hand-drawn tiles, and the screen can be panned and zoomed while the map is open.

  2. Waypoint markers

    Markers come in several styles and accent colors, and a GUI editor adds and removes them from the bookmark buttons.

  3. Map book item

    Renaming a book to the mod's name at an anvil creates a map the player can hold.

  4. Map sharing

    Explored areas and waypoints can be sent to friends with the /surveyor share command followed by a player name.

  5. Waypoint migration

    Waypoints from other minimap mods are migrated automatically, and the save format is shared with Hoofprint.

Use cases

Exploring new worlds

Structures and nether portals are marked as the player discovers them, so the map records the route taken.

Friends can exchange explored map areas and waypoints without a separate tool.

Who it’s for: Players who want a hand-drawn map with markers, and anyone adding a map style or tiles through resource packs.
