Hey Xaero! Amazing mod as always
I'd like to echo a suggestion of mine that I don't think was added but would still be really useful:

"I have a minor suggestion for the right click menu that was added, loving everything else! If you could add an option to copy the coordinates to clipboard when you right click somewhere on the map, that'd be awesome!"

Another suggestion I had in mind is something for space management, I'm currently going through a bunch of old files and directories, and I noticed that I have a lot of old world maps. Many of them are pretty big, dozens of MB in size, which really adds up.

A way to view these maps outside of MC (such as an external program or even a web-based version) would be really useful. Something that could also be in that and/or in MC would be something that shows the size of the world map on disk.

Thank you! :>

Thanks for reminding me about the right click option! As for an external program for managing the world maps, ummmm, you already have it? The regular file explorer does almost everything you suggested. An ingame way to manage all map data is a different story. That I might actually add in the future. Viewing the maps outside of the game is not possible because of how they work. They need to be in the context of the game. The only files that could potentially be viewed are the cache files and those aren't guaranteed to be present.

Update 1.17.0/1.14.1.6 (MC 1.17.1, 1.17, 1.16.5, 1.16.4, 1.16.3, 1.16.2, 1.15.2, 1.14.4, 1.12.2, 1.8.9, 1.7.10):

* (1.17.1 - 1.12.2) Compatible with Xaero's Minimap / Better PVP 20.23.0 or newer. Version 21.16.0 is HIGHLY recommended.
* (1.8.9 - 1.7.10) Compatible with Xaero's Minimap / Better PVP 20.23.0 or newer. Version 21.10.6 is HIGHLY recommended.
* (1.17.1 - 1.12.2) Fixed non-biome colored transparent blocks causing the multiplayer map region save files to become corrupt. The broken regions should now load normally after you rediscover/overwrite them.
* Fixed transparent blocks not rendering over void.
* (1.17.1 - 1.12.2) The maps will now include the height values which take the transparent blocks into account. This enables you to set waypoints and teleport on top of transparent blocks instead of going under them (e.g. the bottom of a water pool). The height value of the opaque block can still be viewed though. Multiplayer map data needs to be manually overwritten for this to take effect.
* (1.17.1 - 1.12.2) Added a check for whether a map pixel generated by an older mod version contains transparent blocks over an opaque one. Only the heights of the opaque blocks used to be stored, so it can be "dangerous" to teleport to such map pixels using the saved height value. By default, such map pixels will be treated as undiscovered in the context of creating waypoints and teleporting. You can toggle it in the world map settings.
* The disabled waypoint visibility toggle is now saved on game restart and affects waypoints in the side menu as well.
* (1.17.1 - 1.12.2) Fixed map deletion not working because of the new file locks.
* (1.17.1 - 1.17) Fixed rare issues caused by the height data not being reset properly before generating a chunk of map from map data or world save.
* (1.14.4 - 1.12.2) Fixed disabled waypoint transparency not working correctly.
* (1.12.2) Fixed crash when using the mod without the minimap one.
* (1.16.5 - 1.7.10) Fixed multi-texturing variables not being restored to defaults causing compatibility issues with other mods (for example, blank screen when encountering the wind chime block from The Betweenlands).

Is there a way players on my server can add waypoints to the server map that all the other players can see?

The only way to do it is to share the waypoint using the "Share" option.

* Fixed compatibility with Immersive Portal (or similar mods) when using Optifine anti-aliasing. Caused UI to stop rendering.
* Improved automatic backups when saving a file fails.

Hey Xaero

I really love your Mini Map and World Map, I've been using it for a few years now!

I recently got started on a server and installed the Forge version of the World Map. Now I would like to switch over to Fabric. Is there a way to load the Forge World Map save files into Fabric and vice versa? This way I don't lose the map when switching to a different mod loader.

Thank you in advance!

Greetings

Wiz

Thank you! Switching the mod loader doesn't affect your map data. If you are also changing the game directory, then you need to copy the XaeroWorldMap and XaeroWaypoints folders from the old one.

Update 1.17.2/1.14.1.8 (MC 1.17.1, 1.17, 1.16.5, 1.16.4, 1.16.3, 1.16.2, 1.15.2, 1.14.4, 1.12.2, 1.8.9, 1.7.10):

* (1.17.1 - 1.12.2) Compatible with Xaero's Minimap / Better PVP 20.23.0 or newer. Version 21.18.0 is HIGHLY recommended.
* (1.8.9 - 1.7.10) Compatible with Xaero's Minimap / Better PVP 20.23.0 or newer. Version 21.10.9 is HIGHLY recommended.
* Fixed certain inconsistencies between the actual map data and map cache being able to cause minor memory leaks, OpenGL errors, crashes and incorrect map texture versions.
* Fixed certain regions becoming unable to unload (when they should) after their parent branch region is unloaded.
* Fixed footsteps crashing the game because of a race condition issue.
+ Added in-game setting for update notifications.
* Fixed rare game freeze caused by a race condition when updating branch region textures.
* Improved how branch region textures react to textures being deleted from their child regions. For example, if a region reloads and the result is less explored than what was loaded from the map cache, then updating the branch region textures (by viewing the map at a low enough zoom level) will properly reflect that. This shouldn't affect the vast majority of users.
* (Forge 1.16.5 - 1.14.4) Fixed the world map not reloading after you change your active resource packs.
+ (1.17.1 - 1.15.2) Fixed multi-texture renderer provider not resetting when the game crashes, making the mod incompatible with something like NotEnoughCrashes.
* (1.8.9 - 1.7.10) Fixed incorrect biomes being written to the map when manually discovering.

Update 1.17.3/1.14.1.9 (MC 1.17.1, 1.17, 1.16.5, 1.16.4, 1.16.3, 1.16.2, 1.15.2, 1.14.4, 1.12.2, 1.8.9, 1.7.10):

* (1.17.1 - 1.12.2) Compatible with Xaero's Minimap / Better PVP 20.23.0 or newer. Version 21.19.0 is HIGHLY recommended.
* (1.8.9 - 1.7.10) Compatible with Xaero's Minimap / Better PVP 20.23.0 or newer. Version 21.10.10 is HIGHLY recommended.
* (1.17.1 - 1.14.4) Unified what the minimap and world map consider "flowers". Tall flowers like Rose Bushes and Sunflowers are now included. Requires rediscovering the map (or reloading in singleplayer).
* Fixed incorrect slope values for void on the map.

Update 1.18.0/1.14.1.10 (MC 1.17.1, 1.17, 1.16.5, 1.16.4, 1.16.3, 1.16.2, 1.15.2, 1.14.4, 1.12.2, 1.8.9, 1.7.10):

* (1.17.1 - 1.12.2) Compatible with Xaero's Minimap / Better PVP 20.23.0 or newer. Version 21.20.0 is HIGHLY recommended.
* (1.8.9 - 1.7.10) Compatible with Xaero's Minimap / Better PVP 20.23.0 or newer. Version 21.10.11 is HIGHLY recommended.
* (1.17.1 - 1.12.2) The height level for very short blocks like carpets and 1 layer of snow will now be adjusted by -1. This means that waypoints and teleportation over these blocks will now make more sense and they won't cause harsh shading on the map. You can toggle it in the settings. Version 21.20.0 of the minimap is highly recommended, if you're planning on teleporting to carpetlike blocks that are placed over the void. The minimap update shifts the teleportation up by half of a block so that you don't fall through the block that you're teleporting into.
* (1.17.1 - 1.12.2) Reworked map height data handling to allow the effective height values to be different from the actual block heights. This allows making the carpetlike block height adjustments toggleable with a setting and refreshable without relogging. It also lets the persistent map data stay unaffected, making older mod versions still forward compatible with it.
* (1.17.1 - 1.12.2) Fixed some branch texture update issues caused by the leaf texture height values being temporarily reset when reloading a leaf region.
* (1.17.1 - 1.12.2) Improved IO exception handling when saving/loading map data or cache. The mod will now make multiple attempts with short pauses in-between.
* Fixed rarely occuring issue of parts of the map not updating visually when being rediscovered.
* Small but potentially very effective optimization when fetching texture color for a block state.
