Client Maps

by Redstoned

Client Maps keeps a local copy of server-side map data in a folder on the player's machine, so a map stays readable when the server cannot send it.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 26.3

What it does

When a map item is opened inside a chest or another container, the server may not have sent its data yet, and the slot shows a placeholder. The mod stores map data it has received in a local folder under the game directory, so the last known copy can be shown until the server sends an update.

The mod is meant to complement in-inventory map display tools, and it can be used with several of them at once. It runs on the client only, so servers do not need to install it. It is available for Fabric, with files for 1.20.1 – 26.3 under the MIT License, and the code is open source.

Key features

  1. Local map cache

    Map data received from a server is saved to a local folder inside the game directory.

  2. Placeholder replacement

    A stored copy stands in while the server has not yet sent the current map data, and the update replaces it once received.

  3. Inventory map display

    The cached data works with in-inventory map display mods such as Map Tooltip.

What the author says

Minecraft mod to cache server-side map data locally in.minecraft/.client_maps/. If you've ever had map data not load when in a chest, your local copy will sit as a placeholder until updated by the server.
