11 years ago Thanks for the suggestions but they are not possible without a server side mod. I plan on keeping MapWriter purely client side so probably won't be able implement these features.
Come Minecraft 1.7 the maps (vanilla) will show borderless when placed in item frames. In preperation for that, I've got three suggestions for this mod.
Feature 1 As this mod is directly related to viewing maps and adding waypoints, a way to have a "shared" group for an entire server, where one could add waypoints that everyone viewing that group could see. Think of it as showing shared resources such as mob farms, displaying the location of where a player lives, or just general waypoints for places players would want to share with eachother.
Feature 2 View these waypoints on maps in item frames, and, if possible, when mousing over the waypoint icon, display a tooltip on it with the name of the waypoint.
Feature 3 A laser pointer item (that renders a line from the player, say 2-4 meters distance), which could be used for pointing on a map in an item frame (or for anything, really), which would be awesome both for multiplayer, and for streams/videos, to precisely show a point on the map for the viewer.
Anyways, thanks for making this mod in the first place, it's the best map mod that exists (at least in my eyes)
