ArdaRegions
by tapter
With ArdaRegions, server owners draw named polygon regions on their map, and players learn which region they have entered as they explore.
What it does
Regions are custom polygons that the server owner defines on the map and assigns names to. As a player moves through the world, the mod tells that player which region they are in, so exploration reveals the layout of a territory piece by piece. Regions can be used to mark towns, wilderness zones or any other area a server wants to name.
The mod is intended for Minecraft servers that want region discovery and tracking. It is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Fabric is the only loader, and files cover 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 with 2.0.2 for 1.20.6 as the latest build. Work on the mod started on 2026-01-15 and was last updated on 2026-08-18. The code is not open source, and the license is All rights reserved.
The project credits testers who found bugs and contributed textures and graphics, and it received help integrating an external map tileset.
Key features
Named polygon regions
Regions are drawn as custom polygons, and each one is given a name that players see when they enter it.
Exploration tracking
Players learn which regions they have entered by moving through the world, which tracks discovery over time.
Map definition
Server owners define region boundaries directly on the map instead of writing coordinates by hand.
Map tileset support
The mod works with an external map tileset, so regions can be shown on a web map when the server runs one.

Use cases
Server towns and zones
A server can mark towns, districts or wilderness areas with names so players know where they are.
Exploration goals
Discovery of named regions can give players a clear goal for exploring a new part of a world.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want to name areas of their world and track which parts players have explored. Players join the server and need the mod installed to see the region names.

Bluemap Player Visibility is server-side only, licensed under the MIT License, is not open source, and targets 1.21.10 – 1.21.11. ArdaRegions differs from all three in being client and server, so players also need it installed.
