Frequently asked questions

How do I get started with Better Nether Map Mod?

Craft a map the normal way and use it in the Nether or any cave dimension. The mod automatically filters what the map displays based on the height setting, so you don't need a special item to begin.

How does the height filter actually work?

The map only renders blocks that sit below the configured height, ignoring everything above it. This stops the Nether's ceiling from covering your map and lets you see the actual terrain you're walking on.

How do I change the height that the map uses?

Open the mod's config and switch between using the map's creation level or entering a custom height value. Once set, any map you use will filter terrain to that level.

What's the difference between map creation level and a custom height?

Map creation level uses whatever Y level you were standing at when the map was made, so each map filters to its own origin height. A custom height applies one fixed value to every map, which is better if you always explore at a consistent level.
