map-cache
by Philesc
map-cache keeps map data received from multiplayer servers on the client so that maps need not be fetched again each time they are needed.
What it does
Client-side map cache stores the map data a multiplayer server sends, and holds it until the map is no longer needed. Once cached, a map can be shown again without the server sending it a second time. The cache is inspired by the client-side caching used on servers such as DiosesMC, and it works through the normal map items already in the game. Only the client needs map-cache installed, so players joining a server gain the cache without any change on the server side. The mod is released under the MIT License, is open source, and is published for Fabric on 1.21.8 with the 1.0.0 file dated 2025-11-20.
Key features
Client-side map caching
Map data from multiplayer servers is kept on the client until the map is held, cutting repeat transfers.
Item frame maps without fetching
Maps can be placed in item frames without each one being fetched individually through the server.
Works with inventory maps
Maps held in the inventory are served from the local cache, so the same map is not requested again.
