Press [M] at any time to bring up the world map.

Drag the map to pan, scroll to zoom, and use the bookmark buttons to create and remove map markers.

Client-Side Features

• A physical-feeling map screen, with hand-drawn tiles representing chunks in the world:

• Waypoint markers in a variety of styles and accent colors:

• Hold the map in your hands by renaming a book "Antique Atlas" at an anvil:

• Automatic migration of waypoints from Xaero's Minimap, and a shared save format with Hoofprint.
• Extra features via addons like Antique Trains and Dead Reckoning!

Mixed-Side / Singleplayer Features

• Markers are automatically added for notable structures and active nether portals:

• Structures only appear on the map after you've looked at them or stood on them in-game:

• Map exploration and waypoints can be shared with friends via /surveyor share [player]:

• Add AA4 Atlas to give the handheld atlas a full item ID and crafting recipe!

Troubleshooting / Suggestions

Antique Atlas 4 is a clientside map frontend for Surveyor Map Framework.

It renders surveyor save data as tiles on screen using respacks, and provides a GUI editor for waypoints.

Issues and suggestions regarding the screen, tiles, markers, and resource packs are Antique Atlas 4 Issues.

Issues and suggestions regarding map sharing, explored map area, and automatic markers are Surveyor Issues.

Crash reports must have AA4 and Surveyor on the latest version, and include logs/latest.log via mclo.gs.

Configuration

Antique Atlas can be configured from config/antique-atlas.toml or in-game using McQoy, including:

• Whether to require having an atlas item in the inventory in order to enable the map hotkey.
• Adjustments to the size and scale of the map screen.
• Adjustments to which structures to mark on the map.
• Adjustments for how to stylize player graves.

Additional options can be found in the Surveyor config in config/surveyor.toml.

Addon & Resource Pack Developers

Resource Packs

Tiles, markers, biome detection, and structure detection is fully data-driven via resource packs.

Without defined biomes, atlas "guesses" tiles via tags, and shows ??? if that fails.

For a how-to on AA4 resource packs, check out the resource pack tutorial.

API

Nothing stable! But feel free to poke around:

repositories {
    maven { url "https://repo.sleeping.town/" }
}
dependencies {
    modImplementation "folk.sisby:antique-atlas:3.0.0+1.20"
}

Try AtlasRenderer.registerOverlay() for non-surveyor mod compat (i.e. mods that already have client sync)

To automatically mark non-structure points of interest - instead use Surveyor's Landmark API.
