Once you craft a map in 1.8, all discovered regions (large body masses or large biomes) will be labeled with randomly generated names on it. NPC villages will also have their own names, as well as large stretches of ocean.
When NPCs tell you about a location, they will use the region name, or some area implemented in it (Ex: The strange ruins in Someland). If you do not have a map, or the location is not on your map, the NPCs will give you directions on how to get there (Ex: North of Somehills, at the summit of Mt. Whatever).
Of course, some areas will not be labeled on your map, since they are not well traveled. These areas are the farthest from NPC villages.

No. You should have the option of writing on maps to label things as needed but nothing should be auto-labeled.

Hypothetical: You read a thread in the Suggestions forum. You suddenly realize you've seen the idea before. Maybe it's a duplicate? No. Maybe it's just you? No. Maybe it's been done already? Very likely: Click here if there's a mod for that.

Well, what do you make of this idea? :wink.gif:
