How copyright looks

Features

Tracks the original author of created maps.
Option to disable map copying.
Configurable rules for whether authors can copy or transfer maps.
Ability to transfer maps into the public domain.
Optional support for cleaning maps in a cartography table.

Default Configuration

# Maximum number of authors displayed in the map lore maxPlayersInLore: 3 # Prevents copying maps (except for authors if 'authorsCanCopy' is true) disableCopy: true authorsCanCopy: true # Allows the main author to transfer a map to the public domain # (works only if 'disableCopy' is true) publicDomainFeature: true

New recipe: Filled maps can now be cleaned back to empty maps via a shapeless recipe using a water bucket, potion, or any other item tagged as water_items. This replaces the previous cartography table cleanMap mixin feature.
