AreaMaps
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.12. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on SpigotAreaMaps provides easily configurable maps for areas of varying size.
All you need to do is tell the plugin the corners of your area!
After creating an area, you can make the map behave exactly like you want with the configuration.
Features
- Create areas of any shape with a name and a map.
- No wasted map space! An area's map will scale with the size of the area - even if it's just two blocks wide.
- If the area is not shaped like a square, the pixels outside of the area will be darkened to make the area's shape clear for users.
- Easy to use and configure.
- Advanced configuration options (listed below).
- Automatic map drawing - no need to walk around! Drawing a map automatically can take a long time, but it can be left running without a noticable performance difference on the server.
- Option to display the area's name upon entering it as a title and in the player's bossbar.
This plugin depends on WorldEdit! Make sure to have it installed before using this plugin.
This plugin is version dependant and will only work on version 1.12! There are currently no plans on updating the plugin.
