Crowmap
by quat
Crowmap keeps maps up to date while they sit in an inventory, so a player no longer has to hold one in hand to see changes.
What it does
Crowmap makes a map update while it is anywhere in the inventory, not only when held. That leaves the hands free for weapons, food and blocks. A small tooltip shows that the mod is present, and it disappears after the player has looked at it once. The server needs the mod, while clients may leave it out. The mod requires Modder Name Lib, and Fabric API does not work with Sinytra Connector for it. Builds cover 1.16.2 – 26.1.2 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the code is open source.
Key features
Inventory map updates
Maps stay current when stored in the inventory, without needing to be held in the hand.
Hands stay free
Because the map does not need to be held, the player can use weapons, eat food and place blocks.
Look-once tooltip
A small tooltip signals the mod is active and goes away after the player has looked at it once.

What the author says
It's a mod that makes maps update when they're anywhere in your inventory, so you don't have to hold them in your hands to keep them up-to-date. Leaves your hands free to use weapons, eat food, place blocks or whatever. No dependencies (not even Fabric API), so if it doesn't work with Sinytra Connector I'll be very…
