What it does

Holding a filled map and pressing M prints it to an image. The image is written to a maps folder inside the Minecraft directory, in the same folder that holds the mods folder, so it can be found without digging through the game files. Only the client does the work: the mod is installed on the player's computer and nothing needs to be added to a server. Map Printer is released under the MIT License and is open source, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Files exist for Forge alone, for 1.16.5, with 1.0 as the latest build from 2021-05-20.

Key features

  1. Save maps as images

    A filled map held in the hand is saved as an image on the client side.

  2. Print with the M key

    Holding a filled map and pressing M sends it to the printer, and the binding can be reassigned from the controls menu.

  3. Maps folder

    Saved images go into a maps folder in the Minecraft directory, next to the mods folder.
