Show My Maps

Vanilla draws a map's picture only while the player holds it, and everywhere else a filled map appears as a blank parchment roll. The mod draws the real image in a tooltip wherever a map can be hovered, so chests, auction interfaces and maps lying on the ground can be checked at a glance. Maps inside a shulker box are included in the box's contents tooltip, replacing the list of item names.

Map pixels live on the server and are only sent to a client that holds the map, so the mod asks the server for them on demand. Owners decide which worlds send previews: every player holds the showmymaps.see permission by default, and a configurable disabled-worlds list turns previews off for named worlds. Either side announces itself when a player joins, so a client can tell whether the server runs the mod.

The mod is client required, while the server is optional. Players install it on the client, and a server without it still works, though its maps then appear blank in tooltips. Show My Maps requires Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional. Builds exist for Fabric only, across 16 release versions, and the code is released under the MIT License as open source. Snapshot builds are not published.
