Recruits Map Overhaul
The author built this one for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
This addon will not be updated for Recruits 1.15.1 and newer, as its fixes have been integrated directly into the main mod.
Recruits Map Overhaul upgrades the Villager Recruits tactical map with smoother controls, richer terrain detail, and more reliable map updates.
Features
- Richer terrain rendering with biome colors, water blending, and relief shading
- Smooth mouse-anchored zooming and panning
- Wider zoom range for route editing and large-area overview
- Per-world terrain cache with changed-chunk refreshes
- Configurable player arrow style
- Optional coordinate readout and FPS overlay
- Safer admin teleport with centered
/tpcoordinates and surface Y detection
Config
Client config: config/recruitsmapoverhaul-client.toml
