SMP Atlas
by JowhJy
SMP Atlas adds a Map Atlas item that combines many vanilla maps into one stack, so a player can carry a larger area in a single slot.
What it does
The Map Atlas works much like a bundle and holds up to 64 maps at the same scale. Opening it shows the map the player is standing in, and holding Shift while using WASD and right-click flips through the other maps stored inside. Cartography Tables gain extra functions, and a zooming upgrade made from shears and a map lets the player zoom a combined map out.
The mod runs on the server only, so players join without installing anything. It depends on Polymer, which handles the item and map presentation on the server. Files are published for Fabric only, for game version 26.2, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Map Atlas item
A single item that stores up to 64 vanilla maps of the same scale, shown as one stack in the inventory.
Current map view
The atlas displays the map the player is inside, so the surrounding area is visible without swapping items.
Map flipping
Holding Shift and using WASD with right-click moves through the maps stored in the atlas.
Zooming upgrade
Shears combined with a map create a zooming upgrade that zooms the map out, while the other data on the map is kept.

Use cases
Mapping a large area

Who it’s for: Server owners who want map-based exploration on a Fabric server, and players on that server who carry maps while travelling.

Mapbook is server required with the client optional, not open source, and covers 1.20.6 – 26.2 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. SMP Atlas differs by being server-side only and available for Fabric alone, which means players never need to install it.
