MappyWall
by tlwsy
MappyWall is a client-side Fabric mod for building large map walls out of filled maps placed in item frames on a vanilla-compatible server.
What it does
Players place filled maps in a grid of item frames to form a single large picture. MappyWall binds each opened map to its wall position automatically, and it supports map IDs that are not in sequence, so a wall can be assembled from maps collected at different times. The mod also generates a clear hanging order that tells players which map goes in which row and column of the frame grid.
Because MappyWall runs on the client only, it adds no blocks, items or entities to the server and needs no server-side protocol. Servers running vanilla software can host the walls without installing the mod. Only the player who builds the wall needs the mod, and it is in the Adventure category with Game mechanics and Utility as secondary categories.
The mod is published for Fabric only, across 13 release versions 1.21 – 26.2, with 0.1.31 for 26.2 as the latest file, dated 2026-08-13 on the beta channel. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
Key features
Automatic map binding
Each map the player opens is bound to its position in the wall, so the grid fills in as maps are opened.
Non-contiguous map IDs
Walls can use maps whose IDs are not consecutive, which covers maps gathered over a long exploration.
Hanging order
The mod produces the order in which to place maps into the item frame rows and columns.
Route planning
Exploration routes can be planned around the map positions that will make up the wall.
