BTETerraRenderer
by tf2mandeokyi
BTETerraRenderer lets players render external map tiles from BuildTheEarth projects inside their Minecraft worlds.
What it does
Terrain-based map imagery from several services can be pulled into a world, including Bing maps and other sources the author lists. A map hologram rendering tool built for BuildTheEarth projects places the imagery, and road details and building tops can be made more accurate against the map data.
Adding a map source works through configuration files, so other services can be added or edited without changing code. The author points to a wiki page that explains how to add a Google Earth map source. The mod runs on the client alone, and it is published for Fabric and Forge across 11 release versions, 1.12.2 – 1.21.5, under the Apache License 2.0, which makes its source code open source.
