This asset pack for the Beta 1.7.3 fork, Better than Adventure!, helps the task of mapping by changing the background color of maps to a more visible magenta and decreasing the size of map icon for better visibility of map pixels near the player.
No more wondering whether that's desert or unmapped!
Installation
This asset pack is made for Better than Adventure! as mentioned above and is unlikely to work at all on plain Beta 1.7.3!
Download this asset pack and put it in the texturepacks folder found within your Better than Adventure instance. The ingame Texture Packs option has a button to open this folder if you don't know where to find it.
