Version 5.13

Highlights / Notes

Copper-chests and coppergolem statues models.
And reverted the integrated webserver changes from 5.12.
(There are some issues with using virtual-threads in combination with a database-storage that could lead to the webserver becoming unresponsive.
This issue is resolved when using Java 24+ but as long as BlueMap still supports Java 21 we revert to the previous webserver implementation)

Upgrading from 5.12

• Replace the bluemap.jar-file with the new one

Changelog since 5.12

• Added models for copper-chests
• Added models for coppergolem statues
• Added models for hanging-signs that are attached=false
• Added models for all pale-oak signs
• Reverted the integrated webserver changes from 5.12
• Fixed a loading error on forge 1.21.9+ (#743)
• Added a cooldown-time when updating the same region-file multiple times in a row
• Also scan the item folder in resourcepacks for block-models (fixes a compatibillity issues with ItemsAdder resourcepacks)
• Fixed and improved several small code-issues

Version 5.11

Highlights / Notes

With Render-Masks it is now possible to limit your map render
to all kinds of shapes and perfectly control what you want to be visible on the map, and which regions should remain hidden.

Upgrading from 5.10

• Replace the bluemap.jar-file with the new one
• Delete your <webroot>/index.html to make bluemap update the webapp
• You will need to update your map configs!
  • Find the section with min-x, max-x, min-z, max-z, min-y and max-y in your map config file, e.g.:

    #min-x: -4000
    #max-x: 4000
    #min-z: -4000
    #max-z: 4000
    #min-y: 50
    max-y: 90

    and add render-mask: [ { before, and ] } after the section, e.g. like this:

    render-mask: [ 
      {
        #min-x: -4000
        #max-x: 4000
        #min-z: -4000
        #max-z: 4000
        #min-y: 50
        max-y: 90
      }
    ]

    -> here is a video-example
    smaller.mp4
  • Optionally, you can add the new edge-light-strength: 15 property to your map config as well

Changelog since 5.10

Version 5.5

Highlights / Notes

2D (flat-only) map support (O.o)
..and a first iteration of support for custom block-renderers. :)

Upgrading from 5.4

• Replace the bluemap.jar-file with the new one
• Delete your <webroot>/index.html to make bluemap update the webapp
• Move all contents (if any) of bluemaps addons folder into bluemaps packs folder and delete the addons folder.
  (Native addons now go into the packs folder alongside resourcepacks)
• In your webapp.conf:
  • Remove the enable-free-flight configuration, this config it is no longer used.
  • Add the following lines:

    # Here you can specify an alternative base url from where all map data is loaded.
    # Default is "maps"
    #map-data-root: "https://cdn.my-domain.com/mapdata"
    
    # Here you can specify an alternative base url from where all live data is loaded.
    # Default is "maps"
    #live-data-root: "https://cdn.my-domain.com/livedata"

• In each of your map-configs in the maps folder:
  • Replace save-hires-layer with enable-hires (setting has been renamed)
  • Add the following lines:

    # Defines the initial sky-light-strength the map will be set to when it is opened.
    # 0 is no sky-light, 1 is fully lighted.
    # You can change this at any time.
    # Default is 1
    sky-light: 1
    
    # Whether the perspective view will be enabled for this map.
    # Changing this to true requires a re-render of the map, only if the hires-layer is enabled and free-flight view is disabled.
    # Default is true
    enable-perspective-view: true
    
    # Whether the flat (isometric, top-down) view will be enabled for this map.
    # Having only flat-view enabled while disabling free-flight and perspective will speed up the render and reduce the maps storage-size.
    # Default is true
    enable-flat-view: true
    
    # Whether the free-flight view will be enabled for this map.
    # Changing this to true requires a re-render of the map, only if the hires-layer is enabled and perspective view is disabled.
    # Default is true
    enable-free-flight-view: true

Changelog since 5.4

• Added support for pale_oak_leaves (custom tint-color)

• Added model for the conduit (thanks to TyBraniff)
• Merged addons folder into packs folder (native addons not go into packs instead of addons)
• First iteration of custom block-renderer support
• The webapp now uses the browser-language as default language if available (thanks to NikitaCartes)
• Added -n option to cli allowing to pass a custom path to load resources from (e.g. a servers mods-folder) (thanks to TechnicJelle)

Version 5.4

Highlights / Notes

Mostly bugfixes.
BlueMap now requires Java 21.

This is the first release after a lot of changes with bluemap's build system.
From now on BlueMap's new releases will target Java 21 and there will be only one version per platform (one forge version, one fabric version, etc.).
If you need BlueMap for an older Minecraft-Version for your platform that is not supported by the latest version,
use a (previous) version of BlueMap that supports the version you need.
This change makes BlueMap easier to maintain and will help with further/future BlueMap development and new features.

Upgrading from 5.3

Just replace the .jar-file :)
Optionally delete your <webroot>/index.html to make bluemap update the webapp.

Changelog since 5.3

• Stopped pre-scanning the full map-state on map-initialization (improves bluemap load time)
• Added support for emissive textures added in Minecraft Snapshot 24w33a
• Added error-logging to the sql.php (Thanks to @ColdeZhang, #595)
• A lot of "under the hood" changes and improvements
• Fixed incompatibility with some forge-mods (#516)
• Fixed corrupted map-state files not self-healing (#588)
• Fixed Exception when loading big chunks (#587)
• Fixed webapp links with only the map-id not working (#589)
• Fixed an issue where exceptions when enabling bluemap-addons where not logged correctly
• Fixed some typos in config-templates
