Etech's Better Maps
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
This resource pack changes the map inventory icons to make them more distinguishable from each other. It changes every vanilla explorer map texture including the 7 new ones added in 1.21.5, aka the Spring to Life drop :)
Note: The versions of this pack that were made before 1.21.5 require CIT Resewn in order to work. But as long as you're in 1.21.5 or higher and you're using version 3 of this pack then you won't need any mods for it.
