[draft version of this description: if anything if missing or incorrect, it's your fault for snooping around :P]

This mod aims to overhaul the way the world map (etc.) works. You will no longer get a map, minimap, coordinates, or direction by default: you must acquire the items to regain these. 

Currently early experimental/proof-of-concept version, which does the following:-

  • Hides/disables map, minimap, coordinates, and compass
  • Hides all players' markers from the map (including yours)
  • Recentres & zooms map to wherever it was last centred/zoomed when closed (or world spawn by default)
  • Stops player movement from moving the map
  • Items which can restore hidden/disabled functions above
  • "Manual" compass and sextant

You can recentre your map on an arbitrary location with .recentremap [x] [z]

Proper roadmap/todo list/wishlist/whatever coming when I properly publish this, but for now here's a copy of my notes:-

notes.txt
VS map mod:
- Map, minimap, compass, coordinates, all disabled by default, requiring the following items
- Compass
	- gives access to direction, like what a compass do
- Sextant
	- when used, outputs current coordinates
	- short delay on use
- Temporal Sextant
	- gives access to coordinates display
- Map
	- gives access to map (but not minimap?)
	- player position(s) not displayed on map
	- require pigment in inventory to mark map?
	- require pigment to generate map?
	- disable map shortcut, require player to use map item?
	- store map markers on map itself; player loses/gains markers depending on map used?
- JPS (Jonas' Positioning System)
	- gives access to full suite: map, minimap, compass, coordinates, player position all restored
	- can be tuned to different channels; players in multiplayer can see eachother on map if and only if they have the same channel set
	- must be powered with temporal gears?

- map UI improvements probably necessary for this
	- centre on coordinates
	- reopen to same location as last closed

- useful bits
	- some kind of container item, to put map + sextant + compass in one slot
