BlueMap Banners
by MuffinTime
BlueMap Banners adds map markers for banners to the BlueMap web map, so banners placed in the world show up on the map.
What it does
Banners placed in the world are drawn as markers on the BlueMap web map. A player creates a marker by using a map item on a banner, and the marker appears on the map at once. Removing a marker works the same way, by using a map item on the banner again. When a banner is broken by TNT or by an outside source, its marker is removed as well.
The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It needs BlueMap and Fabric API, and it is published only for Fabric. Files cover 1.21.1 – 26.3 across 16 release versions, and the latest Fabric file is v3.1.0 for 26.3. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the project continues the earlier Banners4BM mod by Nincodedo.
Key features
Banner markers
Each placed banner can be marked on the BlueMap map, so bases and landmarks stay visible to the server.
Map item marking
A map item used on a banner creates or removes its marker, with no command needed.
Instant updates
Markers appear or disappear on the map as soon as the banner is placed or removed.
Broken banner cleanup
Markers are removed when their banner is destroyed by TNT or by another outside source.

Use cases
Server bases
Server owners can let players mark bases with banners, so builds are simple to find on the web map.
Who it’s for: Server owners who already run BlueMap and want banner landmarks shown on its map. Players need nothing installed, since the mod is server-side only.
How it compares
Banners4BM is an earlier Fabric mod under the MIT License, server-side only, for 1.20.1 – 1.21.4, and this project continues it. BlueMap Advanced Marker is also open source and server-side only under the MIT License, but it is published for 1.18.2 – 1.19.3 and does not target banners. Border Quest is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, covering 1.21 – 26.1.2, and it is a different kind of mod.
