SurveyorFactions
by Arona74
SurveyorFactions connects Factions claims to Surveyor-compatible map mods, so faction territories appear on a map with each faction's color.
What it does
The mod reads the claims made under the Factions system and draws them onto maps built on the Surveyor framework. Each faction's territory is shown in its own color, and the overlay refreshes when chunks are claimed or released, so the map stays current without a manual reload. Map frontends such as Antique Atlas 4 and Hoofprint can display the result.
Installation requires Surveyor and Factions, along with Fabric API on the Fabric Loader 0.16.14 or newer. Only the Fabric loader is supported, and the single game version is 1.20.1. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Faction territory overlay
Claimed chunks are drawn on the map with the color of the faction that holds them.
Automatic claim updates
Territories added or removed through Factions are reflected on the map without a restart.
Surveyor map support
Any map frontend built on Surveyor can display the faction layer, including Antique Atlas 4 and Hoofprint.
Map color per faction
Each faction keeps a distinct color, so neighboring territories can be told apart at a glance.
