BlueMap

Highlights / Notes

2D (flat-only) map support (O.o) ..and a first iteration of support for custom block-renderers. :)

Upgrading from 5.4

• Replace the bluemap.jar-file with the new one
• Delete your <webroot>/index.html to make bluemap update the webapp
• Move all contents (if any) of bluemaps addons folder into bluemaps packs folder and delete the addons folder. (Native addons now go into the packs folder alongside resourcepacks)
• In your webapp.conf:
  • Remove the enable-free-flight configuration, this config it is no longer used.
  • Add the following lines:

# Here you can specify an alternative base url from where all map data is loaded.
# Default is "maps"
#map-data-root: "https://cdn.my-domain.com/mapdata"
  
# Here you can specify an alternative base url from where all live data is loaded.
# Default is "maps"
#live-data-root: "https://cdn.my-domain.com/livedata"

• In each of your map-configs in the maps folder:
  • Replace save-hires-layer with enable-hires (setting has been renamed)
  • Add the following lines:

# Defines the initial sky-light-strength the map will be set to when it is opened.
# 0 is no sky-light, 1 is fully lighted.
# You can change this at any time.
# Default is 1
sky-light: 1

# Whether the perspective view will be enabled for this map.
# Changing this to true requires a re-render of the map, only if the hires-layer is enabled and free-flight view is disabled.
# Default is true
enable-perspective-view: true

# Whether the flat (isometric, top-down) view will be enabled for this map.
# Having only flat-view enabled while disabling free-flight and perspective will speed up the render and reduce the maps storage-size.
# Default is true
enable-flat-view: true

# Whether the free-flight view will be enabled for this map.
# Changing this to true requires a re-render of the map, only if the hires-layer is enabled and perspective view is disabled.
# Default is true
enable-free-flight-view: true

Highlights / Notes

Mostly bugfixes. BlueMap now requires Java 21.

This is the first release after a lot of changes with bluemap's build system.
From now on BlueMap's new releases will target Java 21 and there will be only one version per platform (one forge version, one fabric version, etc.). If you need BlueMap for an older Minecraft-Version for your platform that is not supported by the latest version, use a (previous) version of BlueMap that supports the version you need.
This change makes BlueMap easier to maintain and will help with further/future BlueMap development and new features.

Upgrading from 5.3

Just replace the .jar-file :)
Optionally delete your <webroot>/index.html to make bluemap update the webapp.

• Added support for emissive textures added in Minecraft Snapshot 24w33a

• A lot of "under the hood" changes and improvements
• Fixed incompatibility with some forge-mods (#516)
• Fixed corrupted map-state files not self-healing (#588)
• Fixed Exception when loading big chunks (#587)
