A hand-drawn client-side world map with biomes, structures, waypoints, and less!
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 a stylized world map screen.
Drag the map to pan, scroll to zoom, and use the bookmark buttons to create and remove waypoints. **AA4 has _absolutely no items!_** - This means the map works right away, can't be lost, and works on any server! ## Client-Side Features - Antique Atlas 4 is designed to let you focus on exploring the world, not get stuck staring at the map! - The map is rendered using hand-drawn "tiles" to represent terrain, biomes, and structures. - Tiles represent entire chunks at least - no peeking for caves or bases! - Gravestones automatically appear where you die, with customizable flavour text: > ![grave style euphemisms](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/Y5Ve4Ui4/images/c6f5e20bcef2c26c40390e888e540dcdd89a1818.png) - Waypoint markers come in a variety of styles: > ![marker styles](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/Y5Ve4Ui4/images/b7064c3287c5535cd9ac6d454c10ead984c7a7b3.png) - Books renamed "Antique Atlas" will display your immediate surroundings, like a minimap: > ![handheld atlas](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/Y5Ve4Ui4/images/b3002225851522c2d4eabc7462a374fbcdd2db6b.png) If you'd instead prefer a low-tech compass, try [PicoHUD](https://modrinth.com/mod/picohud)! ## Mixed-Side Features _These work in singleplayer, or on servers with [Surveyor](https://modrinth.com/mod/surveyor) installed._ - Markers are automatically added for notable structures and active nether portals: > ![structure markers](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/Y5Ve4Ui4/images/190cc4eaa2e8784dd0f46bee9c225228a05f191a.png) - Structures only appear on the map after you've looked at them or stood on them in-game: > ![structure discovery](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/Y5Ve4Ui4/images/86054c7949fed59341cef60d0d9f27aee86ae6ef.gif) - Map exploration can be shared with `/surveyor share [player]` which will also reveal those players' position: > ![map sharing](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/Y5Ve4Ui4/images/4422049c395a856c35bbc361c52e8bcd30e89523.png) ## Configuration Antique Atlas can be configured from `config/antique-atlas.toml`:
> `fullscreen` can be disabled to lock the size of the map screen based on your GUI scale.
> `mapScale` can be adjusted to change the effective GUI scale of the tiles on the map.
> `structureMarkers` can be edited to toggle markers for structures - this is populated at runtime.
> `graveStyle` will change the icon and tooltip for player graves - try each out to suit your pack's aesthetics.
Surveyor, which handles features including map sharing & visibility, can be configured from `config/surveyor.toml` ## 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](https://github.com/sisby-folk/antique-atlas/wiki/Resource-Packs). To automatically mark non-structure points of interest - instead use Surveyor's Landmark API, as in [Surveystones](https://modrinth.com/mod/surveystones). ## Version History This is a loveletter rewrite. We want to introduce new players to atlas, and make it easier to maintain and improve.
`0.x` uses arch, keeps the old `antiqueatlas` ID, and is API-compatible with [tyra's port](https://modrinth.com/mod/antique-atlas).
`1.x` uses fabric, and is API-incompatible with 0.x.
`2.x` uses fabric and [Surveyor](https://modrinth.com/mod/surveyor) - and is save/API/network/respack-incompatible with older versions.
Once stable and feature-complete, we intend to maintain atlas on most modpack versions >=1.18.2 ([more info](https://github.com/sisby-folk/antique-atlas/issues/81)) ## Afterword All mods are built on the work of many others. The art for antique atlas was created by [Hunternif](https://github.com/Hunternif) ([DA](https://www.deviantart.com/hunternif)) and [lumiscosity](https://github.com/lumiscosity) ([Neocities](https://lumiscosity.neocities.org/)).
[Click here](https://github.com/sisby-folk/antique-atlas/blob/1.20/CREDITS) for detailed art credit. This mod is a fourth-gen rewrite, and relies heavily on contributions of many developers and artists before us.
We can't draw autotile to save our lives - feel free to [contribute](https://github.com/sisby-folk/antique-atlas/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Atexturing)! This mod is included in [Tinkerer's Quilt Plus](https://modrinth.com/modpack/tinkerers-quilt) - our modpack about rediscovering vanilla. We're open to better ways to implement our mods. If you see something odd and have an idea, let us know! --- Tinkerer's: Quilt - Smithing - Origins - Statures - HUD
