MapWriter Continued

by moos2333

MapWriter Continued carries the MapWriter 2 minimap for Minecraft 1.12.2 forward, adding a mob overlay and a range of fixes on top of the original features.

What it does

Players see a minimap with full-screen map, waypoints, PNG export, an underground mode and Nether portal assistance. The original features remain in place, and an added mob overlay shows hostile, neutral and tamed creatures as dots, controlled by a showMobOverlay config option. Changes to the config need a restart to take effect.

The mod is client-side only, so servers run without it and players install it alone. It targets Forge for Minecraft 1.12.2 only, and the latest file is 2.8.15, published on 2026-09-24 in the beta channel. The project was first published on 2026-07-10 and is released under the MIT License, so the code is open source and its source is public.

Recent changes include a fix for circular minimap clipping on Nvidia GPUs, a fix for waypoint death markers persisting across dimensions, and compatibility fixes with the Replay Mod and OptiFine. Performance work, a cleaner configuration, improved language files and a modernized build system are also part of the update.

Key features

  1. Minimap and full-screen map

    A corner minimap and a full-screen map show the surrounding terrain as the player moves through the world.

  2. Waypoints and PNG export

    Waypoints can be placed on the map, and the map can be exported as a PNG image.

  3. Underground and Nether aids

    An underground mode helps read caves, and Nether portal assistance helps line up portal locations between dimensions.

  4. Mob overlay

    Hostile, neutral and tamed creatures appear as dots on the minimap when the showMobOverlay option is enabled.
