Description

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;
matchType - the type of match to use when checking the first non-empty sign text line; optional; default is STARTS_WITH (case-sensitive exact match);
- STARTS_WITH - line must start with the prefix;
- REGEX - line must match the regular expression (uses Java regex engine);
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" }, { "prefix": "\\[[vV][iI][lL][lL][aA][gG][eE]\\]", "matchType": "REGEX", "name": "Villages" } ] }

This example configuration creates 3 marker groups: one for [poi] signs, one for [store] signs, and one for signs where the prefix is a regex match for villages (e.g. [Village] or [VILLAGE]).

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

Signs with the [poi] prefix will be displayed in the "Points of Interest" marker group. Signs with the [store] prefix will be displayed in the "Stores" marker group. Signs that match the villages regex will be displayed in the 'Villages' marker group.
