Village Map On Start Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

When do I get the village map?
You receive the village map automatically in your inventory the first time you spawn into a new world. If you don't see it, check your inventory or nearby ground in case it was dropped.
What if there's no village near my spawn?
The mod locates the nearest village within the world and maps it for you. If the nearest village is very far away, the map will still point you toward it, though you may need to travel a significant distance.
Can I get another village map if I lose the first one?
The mod only gives you one map at world start. If you lose it, you'll need to explore manually or use other navigation methods to find villages.
Does the map update if I find a different village?
No, the initial map points to one specific village. You'll need to create new maps through normal Minecraft crafting if you want to locate other villages.
Does this mod work in multiplayer?
Yes, each player receives their own village map when they first join the server, pointing them to the nearest village from their spawn location.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod runs a one-time village search at world start, so it has minimal impact on performance after that initial check.
Can I disable the mod for certain worlds?
You'll need to remove or uninstall the mod to prevent it from giving maps on new worlds; there's no built-in toggle per world.
Does this work with other mods that add custom villages?
The mod locates villages based on Minecraft's village structure system, so it should detect most modded villages that use standard village generation.
What if I'm playing on a pre-existing world?
The map is only given on first login to a new world. If you add the mod to an existing world, you won't receive a map unless you create a new world.
Can I use this map for navigation after I leave the village?
Yes, the map works like a normal Minecraft map and will update as you explore, showing your location relative to the village.
