🗺️ Worlds - Map Finder

#BringBackAdventureMaps

Worlds adds a world map browser to the SinglePlayer menu that allows browsing through all available Maps on Modrinth and outside*! Also improves the normal world list by showing useful information and short-cut to actions.
This is an attempt to use Modrinth to bring back the good times of adventure/custom Maps!

🌟 Features

  • World screen overhaul (inspired by ModMenu)
  • Ingame one-click world install

    • Extracts worlds & resource-packs (multiple supported)
    • Scans for other dependencies like mods
    • Displays description, previews & trailer/source links
  • Loads all resourcepacks inside a worlds resourcepacks folder (vanilla: only resources.zip)

    • Bind packs to worlds to autoload/unload them while playing
  • Displays useful information about installed worlds

    • Bundled resourcepacks, datapacks & required mods
    • Playtime, last played
    • Total disk size
  • Previews world as panorama (will be saved on last quit/manual for map-makers)

I'm glad over any feedback how to improve the flow for adventure maps even more!

Creator Notice

To add your World to the browse menu, there are multiple options:

Modrinth Dependency (recommended)

Upload your map to Modrinth as ModPack and add this mod as dependency (world). The newest version with this dependency will automatically show up in the browser! All properties are auto-detected, adding a youtube trailer to your project readme also creates a Trailer button.
Users are prompted to open the modrinth page on install, so you still receive revenue!

Curseforge Map

Upload your map to Curseforge as World. The newest version will automatically show up in the browser, but some properties like dependencies are not detected.

*Manual List

You can edit ./src/main/resources/assets/worlds/maps.json in this repo to include your world. See below for a guide to all fields:
