Surveyor Atlases
by settingdust
Surveyor Atlases connects Map Atlases to the Surveyor Map Framework, so map markers for structures and landmarks are added to atlases automatically.
What it does
Surveyor Atlases enhances Map Atlases by integrating it with the Surveyor Map Framework. Once the integration is active, markers for structures and landmarks are placed on atlases without any manual step, which simplifies navigation through an explored world. Rendering of these markers is handled by Moonlight Markers, giving the map a clean and organized view.
The mod supports a set of marker types that includes waystones added through Surveystones, along with beds, bells, lodestones, Nether portals and structures. It also works with MoonlightLib and MapAtlases, and it requires Fabric Language Kotlin, KotlinLangForge and Preloading Tricks to start. Surveyor Atlases runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is open source; the source code is publicly available.
Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 and each release 1.21 – 1.21.11, 13 game versions in total. The latest file, 0.2.0, targets 1.21.11 and was released on 2026-05-01. The first release came out on 2024-10-18.
