About this Mod

What does it add?

Item frames. You can display Items, Blocks and Maps in these (like in newer Minecraft versions).
Empty Maps of different scales. You can right click these and get a Map with a certain scale.
Cartography Table. You can use this table to copy maps. These maps are linked, updating one updates all copied maps.

This mod is still in developments, there are a few bugs like:

Server problems (especially in the newest version)
No correct rendering for stairs
No correct rendering for trapdoors
Item frames can exist in lava
Multiple item frames can be placed on the same block (but only one can stay attached, the other drop as items)
No correct block rendering for some mods (like Tropicraft however, the mod can render blocks from other mods like Aether)
