Map Link is a client mod that can download and convert tiles and synchronizes player positions, marker positions and area overlays from Web-Maps like Bluemap, Dynmap, LiveAtlas, Pl3xMap or Squaremap with Xaero’s Minimap and Worldmap.
\nIt can also show how long a player has been AFK based on movement data.<\/p>\n

_Formerly known as “Remote Player Waypoints for Xaero’s Map”_<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

### Features
\n– Synchronizes player positions in real-time as **player-head-icons** (Xaero’s “Tracked Players”) or **waypoints**
\n– Download and convert map-tiles (Bluemap only; other maps in future updates)
\n– Displays **web-map-markers** with **custom icons**
\n– Displays **web-map-area-overlays** aka claims
\n– AFK-time display in tab list
\n– Friend-list to override some settings for friends
\n– Very customizable with lots of config settings<\/p>\n

### Supported Web Maps
\n– Bluemap
\n– Dynmap
\n– LiveAtlas
\n– Pl3xMap
\n– Squaremap<\/p>\n

### How to use
\n1. Open the mod config menu (requires Mod Menu on Fabric\/Quilt)
\n2. Add a new server-entry in the config: [General -> Server Entries]
\n3. Select the correct [Web Map Type]
\n4. Put in the exact server-ip you use to connect to the server
\n5. Put in the link to the web map (just copy it from the browser)<\/p>\n

### How to download and convert map tiles
\n_Consider making a backup of your xaero folder before starting because it cannot be easily undone._
\n1. `\/maplink download_tiles ` _(chunksX\/Z is the width and height in chunks; center is in block-coordinates)_
\n2. Select a map from the list by clicking the button in the chat
\n3. Wait for it to finish
\n4. Click stop or run `\/maplink stop_tile_rendering`<\/p>\n

### Compatibility
\n– Xaero’s Minimap and Xaero’s Better PvP + Fair Play Versions
\n– Xaero’s Worldmap<\/p>\n

### Massive thanks to
\n– ewpratten for making RemotePlayers which this mod was originally based on
\n– MeerBiene for having the idea and helping with the AFK-time formatting
\n– eatmyvenom for having the idea and helping with implementing the marker support
\n– James Seibel for making Distance Horizons: I used a lot of the multi-version build scripts from there.
\n– TheMrEngMan for letting me use the features from his own fork of the original RemotePlayers mod<\/p>\n
