Before & After

About this Mod

Inspired by https://modrinth.com/mod/client-maps, this is a client-side cache for maps for multiplayer servers that do not send map data until the maps are held in the inventory such as DiosesMC, allowing you to have item frames without having to go through your maps individually each time you log in.

Complements nicely with https://modrinth.com/mod/map-in-slot too!

Frequently Asked Questions

Does map-cache need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks map-cache as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does map-cache require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.8. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

map-cache is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
