Blaze Map
by LordFokas
Blaze Map is a Forge mapping mod with a minimap, a world map view and map layers that can be toggled for each map type.
What it does
Blaze Map provides the basic mapping duties: a configurable minimap and a larger world map view that shows a wider area. Several default map types ship with the mod, and each one offers layers of information that can be switched on or off. An aerial view and a terrain height display are included among the map types, and the world map can be exported as an atlas image with a key press.
The mod is built to be extended. Other mods can add their own custom maps and feed mapping data into it, and the source is open. Blaze Map is released under the MIT License, so the code can be read, changed and reused under those terms. The mod is required by Cartography, which builds on it.
Blaze Map is published for Forge only, across three release versions for 1.18.2, 1.20 and 1.20.1. The latest file, 0.7.5-beta for 1.20.1, was released on 2025-01-28 on the beta channel. Players need it in their own game, while a server can run without it.
