MarximusMedievalMap_1.5.3.zip
1-click install
Simplifies the world map, with customizable colors. Similar to the default map, but looks a bit nicer on the map for building a settlement. Also provides a happy medium between the default map and the full color map as it helps a bit with the visibility on the map of generated Points of Interest like ruins and traders.
This is a rebuild and update of the mod MedievalMap by Rangelost, who is on indefinite break (as of some point in 2023 and currently as of 2025-02-02).
NOTE: It does NOT fix slow map loading that's introduced in 1.20, as it just uses default saving/loading of the map, so when VS itself fixes that, it will also be fixed for the mod.
WARNING: Read carefully before considering installing this mod.
This mod replaces the way world maps are drawn. It does not stylize your existing world maps entirely. Only chunks that are loaded while this mod is active will be drawn in the new style. Inversely, if you disable this mod, the chunks will not be reverted to their original version until they are loaded again.
Before using this mod, it is highly recommended that you create a backup of your maps (.../VintagestoryData/Maps/).
Upon running the mod, a medievalmap.json config file will be created or updated in the game's ModConfig directory. The available options are:
ink_colour: hex colour code for most non-natural blocks and outlines.land_colour: hex colour code for land.desert_colour: hex colour code for sand and gravel.forest_colour: hex colour code for forest floor.road_colour: hex colour code for roads and farmland.plant_colour: hex colour code for most plants.water_colour: hex colour code for water.ice_colour: hex colour code for permanent ice, such as glaciers.lava_colour: hex colour code for lava (currently unused).high_colour: hex colour code to denote high altitude, such as mountains.low_colour: hex colour code to denote low altitude, such as holes.water_edge_colour: hex colour code for the water edges.generic_shadow_colour: hex colour code for most shading.plant_shadow_colour: hex colour code for plant shading.generic_grid_colour: hex colour code for the grid.water_grid_colour: hex colour code for the grid over water.generic_grid_opacity: opacity of the grid (between0and1).ocean_grid_opacity: opacity of the grid over oceans (between0and1).ocean_textured:trueto enable ocean texture, otherwisefalse.
Changes I'd like to make:
- configurable via config lib GUI
- ability to customize what blocks are in a category
- ability to customize categories (e.g. add new categories and set colors for each)

MarximusMaximus Yep that's the one! Thanks for the update, will test now.
And updated!
Nephelangelo Sorry, the mod was bugged. It only was working in developer mode and only for me for some reason.
Warning & Reminder to self: Turn off developer mode if you want to see failures.
metasynthie Is this the one you're using? https://mods.vintagestory.at/emtk
I can't handle this error tonight, but I will tomorrow. Thank you for the extended report.
Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am running this mod on 1.20.12 and not seeing any change in the map. I tried both color accurate map on and off.
I'm on Win 11 Pro and just got this exception thrown out of a client error log while Marximus Medieval Map 1.5.2 was starting up, maybe helpful? I am using a launcher (Early Load Patcher) which gives a more verbose error message. But the same error happens with vanilla client too.

Tester (on Win 10) is seeing an error with v1.5.2, but I am not (on Win 11), even after both re-installing from scratch and only having this mod enabled. If anyone could confirm or deny if they are seeing an error and what the error is, that would be most helpful for tracking down what's happening.
wildforester recompiled for .Net 7, accidentally did .Net 8 (which is for 1.21.x).
Nephelangelo That would be outside of the scope of the mapping system. We're not really doing anything here but changing the color of the pixel that the mapping system is recording. I feel like that would need to be a separate mod.
eerino That is VERY neat. I wonder how hard it would be to do something similar... and/or just recompile that mod to work with latest...
Looking into the error. It was working fine for me, but that doesn't mean much, eh? >_<;;;
looking forward to this being stable! I really like what you did here.
Reminds me a mod I really wish would update, Lay of the Land. It allows you to see height properly and, "emphasize cliffs, darken holes and smooth out shallow slopes."
The mod is throwing an exception with 1.5.1. I disabled all my other mods for this test after it failed the first time. Same happens after a full game restart with only this mod.
Please try the version I just uploaded, 1.5.1.
Can confirm it's borked for 1.20.11 onwards.
No longer works with 1.20.11 - I believe it's because they changed how the map loads for faster loading times.
edit: It still works for up to 1.20.10 for those who wish to use it!
Could you do a version of this map that disabled waypoints and instead allowed you to draw on the map yourself with charcoal? I feel like that would be far more immersive and enjoyable than the vanilla map system.
EDIT: I just reread the mod description and this is clearly in the works, oops. Sorry! Appreciate you picking up/taking over.
Is there a way to allow for more customization with specific types of blocks?
I'd like to have the desert/sand options broken down a bit more so I can identify the different types of gravel better. Right now a shale sand looks the same as granite or bauxite sand.
Would it be possible to get this updated to 1.20.11? It seems to be broken in this version. It'd be greatly appreciated. Absolutely love this mod
Is this client-side?
fells like this should been official tbh
Can't modify the map setting in mp because their is no configfile that spawn in the configmod
@noodlepfp I have seen something similar, but I'm not sure why. Where like, if I'm suuuuper zoomed out, chunk images get unloaded and then reloaded very slowly. This might have been an issue with the original mod or maybe an issue in base game. I need to try using not the mod and see if I still have the issue...
Updated: Tested. Slow load without this mod loaded too. Base game or another mod maybe...
Underames
Try the command /worldconfigcreate bool colorAccurateWorldmap true
Попробуйте команду /worldconfigcreate bool colorAccurateWorldmap true
Hello! When playing, the minimap looks great! But when you unload the chunks, the world map does NOT save the chunks with the new map style, and actually deletes the chunk on the world map.
edit : not sure what was happening there. My laptop might not be strong enough to run the game properly. my desktop has no issues with the mod!
morryatay I'm not sure if that's possible. With the customizable categories I want to add, you could probably achieve that with slight color variations (as opposed to the extreme color variations of the full color map). Alternatively something like auto waypoint might help? I don't know how feasible it is to render text onto the map or automatically add waypoints.
ayy map mod is back, a neato feature that would help the paper map would be region names like limestone hills, basalt plains, limestone wastes, it's always hard to identify what rock strata are on the new map style.
Cool! Thanks for sharing. Excited to try it out :)
