Global Positions -Remapped

The concept of "Global Positions" but made from the ground up to be a little easier on your computer. By default does not contain pings, for pings I recommend the "Global Pings" mod.

Everything was done from scratch to use more modern methods and have some nice tweaks in there too. The mod icon is the only thing taken from "Global Positions".

Modes

There are currently 3 modes to choose from in the config...

Map Share

• A accurate recreation of some of the functionality of "Global Positions".
• Other player's icons and names will be visible on the map from any distance.
• Speed at which the map updates is based on movement speed to prevent follower after-images. (Configurable)
• All players exploration contribute to your map.
• Not retroactive, area others explore while you are off the server or in a separate shard will not be mapped.
• Moderately light weight.

Easy Cartography

• A new take on the idea of map sharing.
• Very light weight, use if other mode causes too much lag.
• Other players exploration does not contribute to your map.
• Cartographer's Desk can now be interacted with, when you do, your map will be saved to the desk and any maps saved to the desk will be added to your map.
• Retroactive, fresh players can interact with a Cartographer's Desk to fill out their map with everything that any player has explored (prior to said player interacting with the Desk themselves)
• Map scrolls can still be made for use in giving it to someone who is too busy to touch the desk themselves.

Both (Default)

• Contains all the features of both the other modes.
• "Easy Cartography" mode's features can be used to overcome the issue of the "Map Share" mode not being retroactive.

Notes

This mod contains client-side config options. These can only be accessed via the main menu's mods menu.

This mod does not add any features from "Global Positions" that were not mentioned above. Missing features:

• Pings. If you want them back I recommend getting "Global Pings"
• Ability to prevent personal map sharing (Planned for a future update?)
• Wilderness Mode support. (Not planned)
• Smoke Signals. (Not planned)

Plans

• When a player joins the server, update their map with previously explored areas. (WIP)
• Have a option for player icons show up while in "Easy Cartography" mode, maybe only while the player holds a compass?

Bugs

• None yet, let me know if you find any!
