BlueMap Sign Markers

Overview

Fabric plugin for BlueMap that displays markers based on in-game signs

Installation

Place in your mods folder along with BlueMap.

Server-side only.

Usage

Place a sign or hanging sign with the following text on either the front or back:

[poi]
<short description>

A marker will be displayed on the map at the location of the sign with the text <short description>. The marker will be removed from the map when the sign is broken.

Note that the prefixes can be configured in the configuration file.

Configuration

The mod will create a BMSM-Core.json file in the config/bluemapsignmarkers folder. This file contains the following options:

• markerGroups - a list of marker groups (described in detail below); default is a list with a single marker group configured for the [poi] prefix.

Marker Groups

A marker group is a collection of markers that can be toggled on and off in the BlueMap UI. Each marker group configuration contains the following options:

• prefix - prefix that the sign must contain to be included in the marker group; required;
• name - the name of the marker group; required;
• type - the type of marker to display; optional; default is POI
• icon - the icon path or URL to display for the marker; optional; default is null (BlueMap default POI icon)
• offsetX - the x offset of the marker; optional; default is 0 (corresponds with anchor.x in BlueMap base configuration)
• offsetY - the y offset of the marker; optional; default is 0 (corresponds with anchor.y in BlueMap base configuration)

Example

{
  "markerGroups": [
    {
      "prefix": "[poi]",
      "name": "Points of Interest"
    },
    {
      "prefix": "[store]",
      "name": "Stores",
      "icon": "assets/store.png"
    }
  ]
}

This example configuration creates two marker groups: one for [poi] signs and one for [store] signs.

The [poi] marker group uses the default POI icon, while the [store] marker group uses a custom icon located at assets/store.png.

Any signs with the [poi] prefix will be displayed in the "Points of Interest" marker group, while any signs with the [store] prefix will be displayed in the "Stores" marker group.
