Very Soon

Once again, I apologize for the long wait on the 1.21.5 ports! I finally got the world map mod to a more or less usable state. It's still very unstable but is getting there, so I'll most likely be able to release it in the following couple of days, if nothing unexpected comes up, which tends to h...

It's Coming

My apologies for the long wait for the 1.21.5 port! The update is one of the biggest that I've ever had to deal with, despite being presented as a minor update. It requires me to rewrite everything that touches OpenGL (which is a lot). Finally got the minimap to a "usable" state, but there a...

Sneak-peek: WIP Dimension Switching

Hi there,

I'm back with something that I find pretty exciting! It is a preview for an upcoming feature that gives you the ability to switch between dimensions on the map screen no matter where you are.

It's pretty simple from a user's viewpoint. In reality, the current version of the ...

Sneak-peek: Items and Players in Include/Exclude Lists

Hey everyone,

Here's a small preview of an upcoming improvement to the entity radar category system. Not sure how many of you actually use this stuff, but we're here anyway! 

I have basically rewritten how category include/exclude lists work, which can now support as many entity ...

Minecraft's New EULA

I have some bad news.

To comply with Minecraft's new EULA, my mods are no longer allowed to check whether players have Patreon capes. Unfortunately, with how my Patreon rewards work, I can't disable just the capes without also affecting the auto-updates in the already released mod versions....

WIP: PNG Export Improvements

Hello everyone!

I'm currently working on something that I know a lot of you are going to get excited about. After many years of prioritizing other updates over this one, I'm finally giving the PNG export function different options and making the result reporting user-friendly.

WIP: Minecraft 1.20 Minimap Port

Hey everyone,

I was finally able to fix everything preventing basic game launch on 1.20, which was a lot, so here's a tiny sneak-peek. As you can see, the icons don't work for the new mobs, but that should be easy to fix. And I still have a lot of other things to test/fix, but it's looking ...

Sneak-peek: Full Screen Cave Mode WIP

Hello there,

I'm back to bring you a preview for a very exciting upcoming feature that people have been requesting for almost as long as the world map mod has existed. I personally always saw this idea as a bit of an overkill, so it was never a priority for me. You could say that I finally ...

Sneak-peek: Hovered Biome Display

Hello,

Here's a small preview for an upcoming feature that I'm working on! I know a lot of people have been asking for this since forever ago, so I'm glad to finally be able to bring it to you soon.

To make this seemingly small addition work, I had to completely rewrite how biomes are...

Sneak-peek: Minimap Info Display Manager

Hello everyone, 

I think I have something interesting to show you :)
It's the minimap info display rework that I'm working on for the next minimap update. I had the idea for this for a while but wasn't planning to actually work on it any time soon. After my 2.5 week break from codi...

Sneak-peek: A Ton of New OPAC Options

Hey everyone!

I'm once again back with another OPAC sneak-peek. The upcoming update 0.16.0 is going to be the final major update for the OPAC beta, after which I'm going to switch my main focus to the map mods and only fix bugs for OPAC for a while. Once I'm certain that the beta is stable,...

Sneak-peek: OPAC Sub-claims WIP

Hello everyone,

Sorry I haven't posted in a while! Besides finally getting Open Parties and Claims ready for a beta and then releasing it, I've been mostly working on a ton of boring changes for OPAC and my map mods most of which didn't seem deserving of a sneak-peek. Having a whole new hug...

Sneak-peek: Minecraft 1.19 Support

Hello again,

I think I'm almost done with porting my mods to 1.19! 

A lot of things were extremely broken to the point where I thought it would take forever to sort out but fortunately I was able to rework/fix stuff pretty rapidly. It's looking pretty good already. I'm still gett...

Sneak-peek: More Parties and Claims Map Integration

Hi everyone!

This is potentially the final sneak-peek for the Parties and Claims mod before the public release. The whole thing is basically ready now in terms of coding (99.9%), including the map integration. I mainly just need to clean up, add a couple of config options and write some non...

Sneak-peek: Minimap Radar On the World Map

Hello,

Here's another quick preview. I'm currently working on a new map element rendering system that allows me to create renderers for different map elements, e.g. radar entities, waypoints, which can instantly be used universally across the map mods. For example, the new entity radar rend...

Sneak-peek: World Map Displaying Claimed Chunks WIP

Hello everyone!

I've been very hard at work since I posted the last preview, mostly working on the overlay/highlight system for the world map mod. In fact, the world map now supports multiple layers of colored overlays, in case I want to use it for multiple future features, which is very li...

Sneak-peek: World Map Party Members

Hello!

Here's a short preview for the party member display feature which is part of the map integration for the Xaero's Parties and Claims mod.

I had to rewrite waypoint rendering to use a more general purpose system. It now lets me add other types of map elements to the world map, in...

Sneak-peek: Even More Parties and Claims Progress

Hey everyone!

I'm back with another sneak-peek for my upcoming mod, Xaero's Parties and Claims. The number of new features is not as big as the last time, but the amount of work definitely exceeds that. A lot of optimization, refactoring, rewriting, working on the API, which is "impossible"...

Sneak-peek: Minimap Default Frame Improvement

Hello again,

Here are some screenshots/images of a small minimap update that I'm working on, which may or may not be controversial. For the first time ever since the release of the minimap, I'm updating the default frame texture. Firstly, it is going to be a lot easier to customize the text...

Sneak-peek: More Parties and Claims Progress

Sneak-peek: Better Teleportation Customization

Hello again,

New Mod WIP: Xaero's Parties and Claims

Hey everyone! 

Haven't posted here in a while. Here we go... Besides porting my mods to 1.18 and working on various other minor updates for my existing mods, I've been working hard on a new mod in the background. The new mod will be usable as a standalone mod but it will also communica...

Sneak-peek: Minecraft 1.18 Support

Hey everyone!

The title says it all, I guess. Decided to start early (for me) on the ports for the new major Minecraft update. After the last time, when it took me around a month of intense work to upgrade my mods to 1.17, I'm trying to be a bit more careful and decided to start working on ...

Sneak-peek: New Entity Radar Config (WIP)

Hello everyone!

As I'm sure some of you know, for the past few weeks I've been working very hard on the new entity radar config system, mostly the UI part of it. Something that I've initially estimated to be roughly 1-2 weeks worth of work turned out to be quite some more. I am hopeful that...

Sneak-peek: Entity Radar Config Rework + World Map QOL Improvements

Sneak-peek: Settings Rework WIP

Hello everyone!

Here is another preview of something that I'm currently working on. It is an almost complete rework of the setting screens in the minimap mod and Better PVP. Although this doesn't add any new features, it definitely makes finding the existing features much easier, so this up...

Sneak-peek: WP Rendering In UI Space + Right-click to Share

Hey everyone!

In this preview I mainly want to show you something that might not look that different, if you don't pay close attention, but will actually positively impact the user experience enormously. Have you noticed how the text attached to the in-game waypoints, for example distance o...

Sneak-peek: 2D Waypoints + WM UI Tweaks

Hey everyone!

In this preview I'm showing you the new optional 2D waypoints as well as some small improvements to the world map UI. 2D waypoints are different from the regular ones in that they only have the X and Z coordinates while the Y coordinate is excluded. This allowed me to make it ...

1.17

Just wanted to let you all know that I'm working on it! A lot of issues to fix still, but it's looking pretty good. 

Can't give an ETA yet but should be soon! I'm keeping this post short, so that I can get back to work.

Thank you for your support!
