Clokkworkk's Locator Maps
by Clokkworkk
Clokkworkk's Locator Maps lets modpack creators define custom map equivalents that point to structures of their choosing.
What it does
A map created by this mod can target vanilla structures, structures added by datapacks and structures added by other mods. Each map is set up with a search radius, and the author can choose whether the final location's coordinates are displayed on the map.
Two settings control repeat results. One allows or disallows duplicate structure findings, and another decides whether multiple maps made for the same structure can lead to the same location. The mod is built for modpack creators and developers who want custom map items without writing their own code.
Clokkworkk's Locator Maps runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.1, with 1.2.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest file. Its source code is released under the MIT License, so the code is open source. Better Nether Map is an optional dependency that adds support for Nether maps.
Key features
Custom map items
Creators can add map items that work like the vanilla Explorer Map but lead to a chosen structure.
Vanilla, datapack and modded structures
A map can be pointed at structures from vanilla, from datapacks or from other installed mods.
Search radius setting
Each map has its own search radius, which controls how far the locator looks for its target.
Coordinate display option
The setup can show or hide the coordinates of the final location on the map.
Duplicate finding control
Duplicate structure findings and repeated maps leading to the same location can each be allowed or blocked.

How it compares
Better Structures Maps is a Fabric mod for 1.21.8 that runs on the client only, and it is not open source under the MIT License.

More Cartography is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and runs on client and server across 1.20 – 1.21.5, so it covers a wider version range than this mod's single target.
