Mapart Helper
by Redheris
Mapart Helper is a Fabric client mod for building and converting mapart images, with an editor screen opened by a key bind.
What it does
Mapart Helper works with maps on the client. Its editor converts an image into the mapart format, generates an .nbt schematic file, and saves the result. Players can then place the schematic in a world with tools such as Litematica, and once the build is complete, the map item shows the finished image.
The mod generates a block palette directly on the client, listing the blocks available for a given map. Default filters exclude most unsuitable or problematic blocks, and the config screen allows those filters to be adjusted. Map-related extras include saving maps to the world as PNG files and displaying beams that mark the north-western positions of map areas. The mod is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, is open source, and is published for Fabric only, across 13 release versions. Required dependencies are Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), with Mod Menu optional.
Key features
Mapart editor screen
A key bind, changeable in the Miscellaneous settings, opens the editor, which converts an image into a mapart with a graphical interface.
Schematic export
Converted images can be saved as .nbt files that other building tools can load and place in a world.
Block palette generation
Available blocks are listed from the client, and default filters remove most blocks that are unsuitable for mapart.
Creative palette commands
Singleplayer-only commands give a map with the available map colors, and place generated blocks across the current map area.
Preset files
Presets are stored in separate .json files in a presets folder, which can be opened from the Presets Editor screen and updated.
