About
A rewrite of Antique Atlas by Hunternif, as continued by Kenkron, asie, and tyra314.
Requires Surveyor Map Framework. Requires Connector and FFAPI on (neo)forge.
Press [M] at any time to bring up the world map.
Drag the map to pan, scroll to zoom, and use the bookmark buttons to create and remove map markers.
Client-Side Features
- A physical-feeling map screen, with hand-drawn tiles representing chunks in the world:
- Waypoint markers in a variety of styles and accent colors:
- Hold the map in your hands by renaming a book "Antique Atlas" at an anvil:
- Automatic migration of waypoints from Xaero's Minimap, and a shared save format with Hoofprint.
- Extra features via addons like Antique Trains and Antique Atlas Compass HUD!
Mixed-Side / Singleplayer Features
- Markers are automatically added for notable structures and active nether portals:
- Structures only appear on the map after you've looked at them or stood on them in-game:
- Map exploration and waypoints can be shared with friends via
/surveyor share [player]:
- Add AA4 Atlas to give the handheld atlas a full item ID and crafting recipe!
Troubleshooting / Suggestions
Antique Atlas 4 is a clientside map frontend for Surveyor Map Framework.
It renders surveyor save data as tiles on screen using respacks, and provides a GUI editor for waypoints.
Issues and suggestions regarding the screen, tiles, markers, and resource packs are Antique Atlas 4 Issues.
Issues and suggestions regarding map sharing, explored map area, and automatic markers are Surveyor Issues.
Crash reports must have AA4 and Surveyor on the latest version, and include logs/latest.log via mclo.gs.
Configuration
Antique Atlas can be configured from config/antique-atlas.toml or in-game using McQoy, including:
- Whether to require having an atlas item in the inventory in order to enable the map hotkey.
- Adjustments to the size and scale of the map screen.
- Adjustments to which structures to mark on the map.
- Adjustments for how to stylize player graves.
Additional options can be found in the Surveyor config in config/surveyor.toml.
Addon & Resource Pack Developers
Resource Packs
Tiles, markers, biome detection, and structure detection is fully data-driven via resource packs.
Without defined biomes, atlas "guesses" tiles via tags, and shows ??? if that fails.
For a how-to on AA4 resource packs, check out the resource pack tutorial.
API
Nothing stable! But feel free to poke around:
repositories {
maven { url "https://repo.sleeping.town/" }
}
dependencies {
modImplementation "folk.sisby:antique-atlas:3.0.0+1.20"
}
Try AtlasRenderer.registerOverlay() for non-surveyor mod compat (i.e. mods that already have client sync)
To automatically mark non-structure points of interest - instead use Surveyor's Landmark API.
