Recognizing Custom Vehicle Builds and Shapes on the Map

Identifying Ships by Custom Block Layouts

Standard map markers often reduce vehicles to generic waypoints, making it difficult to tell distinct builds apart. Create Xaero’s Map Mod renders the exact block composition of your Create: Aeronautics airships and vehicles directly onto both the minimap and the world map.

To inspect and recognize your builds on the map:

1. Construct your vehicle or airship using your preferred blocks, shapes, and structural designs.

2. Activate the moving structure or take flight.

3. Check Xaero’s Minimap or World Map to see an accurate top-down visual silhouette of your unique build.

Map Coloring and Shadow Effects

The visual tracking matches vanilla cartography standards:

• Block visuals are translated into standard Minecraft map colors, reflecting the wood, metal, stone, or decorative blocks used in your design.
• Shading and shadows are applied across the contraption, providing depth so the vehicle looks like a natural, physical element of the world while parked on hills or soaring overhead.
