Atlas-Map

Atlas

One map. Always growing. Always in your hands.

Atlas replaces Minecraft’s chunk-by-chunk map clutter with a single, expanding map you
craft, equip, and explore with. As you travel, it charts the world for you — for exactly
the empty maps vanilla would cost, so it never feels like cheating.

The map is drawn by Minecraft’s own map engine, so it looks pixel-for-pixel identical
to a vanilla map — just bigger, and in your hands while you walk.

How it works

1. Craft one Atlas from leather, empty maps, and a book.
2. Equip it in the dedicated Atlas slot (in your inventory, above the offhand).
3. Load it with empty maps — right-click the held Atlas to open its storage.
4. Explore. While equipped, the Atlas spends one empty map per new 128×128 area it charts — true vanilla parity.
5. Press M to raise it in your hands like a vanilla map and keep walking.

Features

• 🗺️ A single growing map — no chests full of paper, no item frames.
• ✋ Held in your hands — press M and explore with the map up, just like holding a vanilla map. No full-screen menu breaking your immersion.
• 🔍 Scroll to zoom, stand still to grab a cursor and drag to pan.
• 📍 Your own marker shows exactly where you are and which way you face.
• ⚖️ Vanilla economy — 1 empty map = one 128×128 tile. Never cheaper than vanilla.
• 🟢 Doesn’t touch vanilla maps — never crafted an Atlas? You’ll notice zero changes.
