Xaero Atlases
by molodoyss
Xaero Atlases lets players hold their whole explored world in one item, an Atlas that opens a larger version of Xaero's World Map.
What it does
An Atlas is an item crafted from a Filled Map, a Book and a Quill, and a later recipe adds a compass variant. Opening the Atlas shows the world map with a wider view than the standard map item, and the map is kept in the Atlas itself rather than in separate maps. Players reach the map through a required key binding, so it opens on demand while travelling.
The mod is for survival and exploration play on Fabric and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Xaero's World Map, Fabric API, Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are required, and Xaero's Minimap is optional. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 26.3, with the latest Fabric file, v1.2+1.20.1, released for 1.20.1 on 2026-10-11. The project is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Atlas item
A single Atlas item opens the world map, so explored terrain is kept in one place instead of many paper maps.
Crafting recipe
The Atlas is crafted from a Filled Map, a Book and a Quill, so it becomes available once a player has mapped terrain.
Compass variant
A crafting recipe combines the Atlas with a compass to produce a compass variant of the item.
Key-bound map view
A required key binding opens the larger map from anywhere, without a command or a block.

Use cases
Long journeys
Players crossing large distances can keep a record of routes and areas they have already seen.
Server play
Server owners add the mod alongside Xaero's World Map so every player can use the same larger map view.
Who it’s for: Players who explore large worlds on Fabric and want a map that covers more terrain than a standard Filled Map, and server owners who run Xaero's World Map.
How it compares
Xaero Map Addition covers 1.14.4 – 1.19 on Fabric, is client-side only and is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, so it does not run with the current 1.20.1 – 26.3 range. MapStitch works on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21 – 26.3 and runs on client and server under the MIT License. Atlas-Map is client and server, covers only 26.1.2 and is not open source.
