Smaller Maps
by StuffNStuff
Smaller Maps shrinks the handheld map shown in first-person view, so it takes up less of the screen.
What it does
A player holding a map sees it drawn smaller in the first-person view, including the map frame and the hands and arms that hold it. The size can be set anywhere from 100 percent of the vanilla size down to 0 percent, which hides the map completely. The adjustment is made in the Mod Menu configuration screen, and changes apply right away. The mod runs on Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.11 and later builds and needs Mod Menu, which must be present on the client. Only the client needs the mod, because it is entirely client-side and servers do not need it installed.
