Paper Thin 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.
Paper Thin Maps (Visual Utility)
This utility mod redefines how maps are displayed in Item Frames, making them ultra-thin and perfectly aligned with the block surface. It’s the ultimate tool for builders who want seamless "wallpaper" maps or clean glass displays.
Key Features:
- Ultra-Thin Rendering: Reduces the map thickness to a paper-like scale, removing the bulky 3D box effect.
- Zero-Gap Alignment: Adjusts the map position to sit flush against the block (including Glass), eliminating the annoying "floating" space.
- Auto-Invisible Frames: Automatically hides the wooden Item Frame texture when a map is placed inside.
- Marker Cleanup: Completely disables the green "Frame Markers" on maps for a cleaner, marker-free world view.
This is a client-side and server-side compatible modification. It requires Architectury API to function.
Compatibility:
- Loaders: Supports both Forge and Fabric.
- Environments: Perfect for creative building, map art galleries, and modern interior design.
