Welcome to the Hangar Open Beta. Please report any issue you encounter on GitHub!
Highlights / Notes
Faster map-data format, animated textures, refactored map-updates and world/dimension-handling, new map-storage implementation AND BlueMap-native addons! =)
Upgrading from 5.0 or 5.1
You were already using the latest 5.x snapshot/rc? Then don't have to do anything! Just replace the .jar-file :)
Upgrading from any other version (3.x or 4.x)
A clean re-installation is highly recommended! You WILL need to re-render all your maps.
- Shut down your server
- Make a backup
- Delete your current BlueMap-??-??.jar
- Delete the BlueMap config directory (
./plugins/BlueMap
or./config/bluemap
, depending on your platform) - Delete the BlueMap data directory (the
./bluemap
folder in your server root) - Delete any existing BlueMap-databases (All tables on your db starting with
bluemap_
, only if you were using an sql-storage) - Follow the usual installation steps
If you are using an external webserver or any other custom setup: Revisit the wiki-pages and update your configuration accordingly! Relevant changes:
- The
.json.gz
files are now.prbm.gz
files - The
textures.json
is now also compressed (textures.json.gz
) - The sql-tables have changed and the
sql.php
got updated accordingly
Changelog since 5.1
- Updated sponge to SpongeAPI 11
- Fixed CLI still generating the old
resourcpacks
folder
Changelog since 3.21 (condensed)
- Switched hires-model format from json to a custom binary format: prbm (slightly modified version of prwm)
- Massive performance improvement when loading map-tiles in the browser
- Slightly smaller on the storage
- Slightly faster to render
- Added animated textures
- Refactored Chunk-Loading and World management
- Added dimension config to the map configs
- Removed world-sky-light config from the map configs
- Full rewrite of the map-updating system
- Chunk change detection is now fully based on chunk-timestamps instead a mix with region-timestamps
- BlueMap will now delete already rendered parts of the map if the world got trimmed or chunks got otherwise removed from the world
- Changing the map-edges is now possible without purging the map
- Added command to force-update only map-tiles on map-edges
- Added debug command for checking map-tile states
- Correctly separated ResourcePacks and DataPacks
- Biomes are now fully DataPack based (internally)
- Renamed
resourcepacks
folder topacks
(still accepting both, resource- and data-packs) - Removed support for bluemaps
biomes.json
file in resource/data-packs (use the datapack format to configure custom biomes)
- Full map-storage implementation rewrite
- Add first implementation of a native-addon loader
- Addon devs now have the ability to make their addon loadable by bluemap directly instead of depending on a mod/plugin loader
- A limited version of the API is now also available on the CLI implementation, which can be used with native addons
- Addons can also make use of BlueMapCore and BlueMapCommon for extended functionality
- Native addons are EXPERIMENTAL right now
- Downloading vanilla-resources now considers all available minecraft versions
- Added support for nested resourcepacks (introduced in 1.20.2)
- Added resources for signs, hanging-signs, banners, shulker-chests, bell, mob/player-heads, (decorated-)pots and cake (thanks to @TyBraniff, #536)
- Allow texture-variables with missing # in certain situations to align with vanilla behaviour (fixes loading of some resourcepacks/mods) (thanks to @glorantq, #525)
- Removed the pretty-printing from the settings.json to discourage editing it manually
- Added
-m
flag to the cli which allows to specify certain maps that should be rendered - Added
-e
flag to the cli which works similar as-f
but only forces updating map-tiles on map-edges - Add option to display chunk-borders on the map (thanks to @TechnicJelle, #542)
- Map-settings now load in parallel to speed up initial page-loading with many maps (thanks to @Salzian, #538)
- Added/Updated serbian, ukraine, russian, finnish, turkish, french and zh_CN translations
- Fixed render-issues with custom world-heights
- Fixed empty block-states having the wrong block-properties

sql.php
port config not being used - Fixed grass-sides sometimes not being colored correctly (#492)
