Antique Atlas Mod — Guide

Mechanics and Controls

The Antique Atlas interface is intuitive and offers several features for navigation and organization.

Navigation

  • Opening the Map: Right-click with the Antique Atlas in hand.
  • Panning: Click and drag the mouse to move the map view. You can also use the W, A, S, and D keys to scroll.
  • Zooming: Use the Mouse Wheel or the on-screen plus (+) and minus (-) buttons to zoom in and out.
  • Centering: Click the 'Center' button to snap the view back to the player's current location.

Markers

Markers allow you to label points of interest such as bases, villages, or rare structures. * Adding a Marker: Right-click any location on the map to open the marker creation menu. * Marker Types: You can choose from various icons including houses, towers, caves, skulls, and more. * Editing/Deleting: Click on an existing marker to change its icon, label, or remove it entirely.

Exporting the Map

The mod includes a feature to export the current map data into a PNG file. This is typically done via a button in the GUI or a console command. The exported image will be saved in a folder named antiqueatlas_exports within your Minecraft directory.

Customization and API

Antique Atlas is highly extensible, allowing players and modpack creators to modify its appearance and functionality.

Texture Editing

For versions 6.0.0 and newer, textures are handled via the standard Minecraft Resource Pack system. You can override the default parchment look by placing new textures in assets/antiqueatlas/textures/gui/. This includes the background, buttons, and biome tiles.

Adding Custom Markers

Custom markers can be added by creating a JSON file in a data pack. This allows for mod compatibility, where unique icons can be assigned to structures from other mods. The JSON must define the marker ID and the path to the texture icon.

API for Developers

The mod provides a documented API that allows other mods to: * Register new biome textures. * Programmatically add markers to a player's Atlas. * Query map data for integration with questing mods or navigation tools.
