Antique Atlas 4
What it is
Antique Atlas 4 is a free, client-side Minecraft Java Edition world map frontend for Surveyor. It uses hand-drawn tiles to represent world chunks. Press M to open the map, then drag to pan and scroll to zoom; bookmark controls add or remove markers. Waypoints can have different styles and accent colors, and a graphical editor lets players manage them. The map can add markers for notable structures and active Nether portals, but these appear only after a player has seen the structure or stood on it in-game. Players can share map exploration and waypoints with friends using Surveyor’s `/surveyor share [player]` command. The mod can migrate waypoints from Xaero’s Minimap and shares a save format with Hoofprint. The project lists Minecraft Java versions 1.19.2, 1.20.1, and 1.21.1, with Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt support. Surveyor Map Framework is required; Forge and NeoForge also require Connector and FFAPI. Resource packs control tiles, markers, biome detection, and structure detection. The project is licensed LGPL-3.0-or-later and describes its API as unstable.
