Minecraft AutoMap 0.7.7.2

Compatible with Minecraft 1.5.1


*Keep AutoMap compatible with multiplayer *

Support this API request: https://mojang.atlas...rowse/MCAPI-236

If Mojang implements the features I outlined in that API request, I should be able to maintain AutoMap's current feature set indefinitely.  Otherwise, AutoMap may lose multiplayer support as we know it.

Minecraft AutoMap is the most advanced real-time map available. It is like having your own spy satellite with night vision, x-ray vision, and mineral detection!




* Right click to make it a movable, resizable, borderless minimap!

You can even use AutoMap's Power Toys to instantly teleport long distances or blow up objects:

I'll be keeping an eye on this topic. This seems better than the other mods I've looked at.

[FrostyWolf]

Looks good so far.  Do I see some runcraft in that pic

[CreeperDaReeper]

Will this community ever sease to amaze me?  "Reads first post again"  Guess not, I hope that it never will.

I'm speechless again, though one nitpick.  Try to make it so that the automap rotates so that you're arrow is always facing up since ingame you're always looking through the eyes, or over the should of your avatar.

I can't wait!

I hope we can do that too.

By the way, I forgot to mention in the original post, this is being done in the Microsoft XNA framework, so it will only run on Windows, but it will run much better than anything we could have pulled off in Java.  Sorry if that disappoints anyone.  As nice as it would have been to make this automap cross-platform, XNA was the only option that made sense given our prior experience and time constraints.

The good news is, I do intend to  give Linux and OSX users a map for single player by extending my already-existing Minecraft Map Java client that currently works only with SMP servers.  I may even give the Java client some very basic automapping functionality if it doesn't cause too much of a slowdown - just something to use in a pinch in case you do not have a Cartograph map handy.

Very cool, will there be options to look underground when your above ground?

[subzero22]

Cool I can't wait. Maybe you should make it optional for if the person what's the arrow/map to rotate or not.

Absolutely, it will be optional.  It requires considerably more blocks to be processed in order to rotate the map without creating blank areas, so I suspect it will hurt performance a bit to have it on.

This is why I have dual-monitors. This looks awesome and I hope to see it released, eventually (take your time, though).

[Anoniempje]

just to let you know man:

[PicSoul]

This is going to be AWESOME!

[Hostail]

Wow, this looks so awesome. Keep on the good work and don't let us wait to long!

[varkarrus]

I have 2 screens so I can play Minecraft, and Starcraft at the same time.

[Quarg]

cool stuff!

it's the best mapping thing I've ever seen!

[WyldFyr]

This is looking great!

[bp2008]

Website is now online.  See first post.

[ventusignis]

Will this application run in tandem with Minecraft?  I feel that it would be useless otherwise as Cartograph would be much better and an ingame automap was already shut down.

[Lim-Dul]

From the screenshots and the description you can see that it would work alongside Minecraft.
