A minimalist client-side world map.
Requires Surveyor Map Framework. Requires Connector and FFAPI on forge.

Hoofprint is a client-side world map with:

  • Two styles: vanilla map style, and game-accurate style - with biome colors, lighting, and transparent water.
  • Waypoints in three styles: vanilla-style banner (recolorable), item, and block
  • Basic cave mapping, and the ability to view details about blocks on the map.
  • Global player positions and map/waypoint sharing via /surveyor share when surveyor is on the server
  • Automatic waypoint migration from existing Xaero's Minimap saves
  • Support for Waystones (Surveystones) and OPAC (Surveyalot)
  • Shared save format with Antique Atlas 4

Keybinds:

  • M to open the hoofprint world map screen
  • Left Click to pan the map around
  • Mouse Scroll to zoom the map in and out
  • Right Click to edit the hovered waypoint, or place a new one

    • TAB to edit the waypoint style (accepts colors, item IDs, and #hex)
    • ENTER to save your changes, or ESC to discard them
  • DEL to remove the hovered waypoint
  • SPACE to recenter the map on the player
  • H to hide all map decorations
  • ALT to view info about the block under the cursor (also shows waypoint names)
  • TAB to view the cave layer
  • [ and ] to view the previous/next dimension map

Configuration

Hoofprint's configuration can be edited in config/hoofprint.toml, or in-game using McQoy. This includes:

  • Toggles for vanilla-style rendering (e.g. opaque water, no biome colors, no lighting)
  • Lightmap selection, allowing you to render the map as if it's night
  • Dimension overrides for maximum Y (e.g. nether) and for lightmap
  • Handling for the world border
  • A secret?
