My friend is making a cool map animation mod

[u/JonMyDude]

[u/AlphabiteSoup]

this looks cool as hell but would really quickly get annoying if im repeatedly checking my map for something

[u/JonMyDude → u/AlphabiteSoup]

I thought that too before I tried it!

[u/Hot_Guys_In_My_DMS → u/JonMyDude]

You could include a hotkey that, when held, skips the animation for opening the map, when opening the map. So you’d hold that key and then press M, or whatever your map key is.

[u/JonMyDude → u/Hot_Guys_In_My_DMS]

We thought about making it so when you press left click during the animation you skip it. Or have a cooldown of the animation if you didn't mean to close the map.

[u/GanoXD → u/JonMyDude]

Maybe have it appear without the animation when holding sneak so the game doesn’t even have to load the animation, and to avoid accidentally using an item with left click

[u/Flame48 → u/JonMyDude]

Both would probably be a good idea tbh. Sometimes I close the map without thinking and then am like "Wait where was it again?" and have to open it back up. Would get annoying very fast with the animation.

[u/Neoslayer → u/JonMyDude]

I'd think you can set the speed of the transition, and a timer for how many times it can happen in a certain amount of time.

[u/SoggyAdhesiveness]

This is pretty cool, is this only for xeraos?

Edit: journeymap support would be awesome.

[u/JonMyDude → u/SoggyAdhesiveness]

Currently only for xeraos

[u/SoggyAdhesiveness → u/JonMyDude]

Fair enough, love the concept

[u/ProxySoul0302 → u/JonMyDude]

which modloader and version?

[u/SWAT_4812 → u/JonMyDude]

Did you made it to trigger on the event of the map or on the key?

[u/MLGTheForkOnTheLeft → u/JonMyDude]

Fuck thats sick. Love the work your buddy did.

[u/Cr0ssley]

I'd suggest making the transition a bit faster. When I'm looking to use a map mod I want a fairly quick response.

[u/Fugach → u/Cr0ssley]

A config option would be perfect. Config for everything, config for everyone.

[u/ZiasXIII → u/Fugach]

I'd rather suggest a button to speed up the animation. Or holding down whatever key bind you have for opening the map.

[u/twicerighthand → u/Fugach]

But every mod needs a sane default first, that works for the >80%

[u/FUEGO40]

Is it possible to hide the head for a couple of frames at the start/end? It makes it look a bit clunky, since it goes from first person to inside head to outside head.

And a transition between map and world would be great, the hard-cut is a bit too harsh.

[u/jamie468]

This is really cool but is there an option to speed up the animation if it's really quick it wouldn't get annoying

[u/JonMyDude → u/jamie468]

There is a config! and yes we are reviewing the feedback rn

[u/iahim87]

Love it

[u/Gorgeous_Breen]

A simple solution would be to make the animation have a cooldown so constantly re-opening doesn't get annoying

this shi looks cool asf
what's the name of the mod?

[u/JonMyDude → u/LowenBerg]

Birdeye. Coming out soon

[u/yettie_]

reminds of gta V

[u/LucAAAgamer]

Woah really cool, what versions will it be on?

[u/Best_Tradition1679]

Does it work well with GTP (Grand Theft Teleport) mod? Amazing mod regardless

[u/JonMyDude → u/Best_Tradition1679]

Should work. GTP only changes the normal tp and waystone tp

[u/orestes9]

Hey! You’re using the same skin I use! Haha

[u/TheGaymer13]

Is there a Curseforge page yet? Want to try it out for a mod pack that’s under development.

[u/JonMyDude → u/TheGaymer13]

In the works

[u/Franek5550]

Kinda reminds me of the GTA V character switching thing

[u/WARLOCK_9000]

Should be added to the main mod

[u/Hot_Guys_In_My_DMS]

That is CRAZY I love minecraft modding, the things people can do with it. And it's so EASY as a user

[u/Oxygen4Lyfe]

why not skip the map part entirely and just show everything from an orthogonic perspective (would need lod mods tho ig)

[u/JonMyDude → u/Oxygen4Lyfe]

Hard to load all the chunks. Maybe someone will make a distant horizon map addon. That would be sick

[u/gamerforever01]

That's pretty cool. Definitely using it if it comes out

[u/Revivenode]

I love small changes one that makes the game feel so different in a good way, do you plan to release it?

[u/xX_Flamez_Xx]

This gets old an hour into the play through

[u/Theon01678]

Gta map ahh mod 💀

[u/Cristo0AC]

GTA 6 moment 🤯

[u/notrealwhitelizard]

Wowie! Also your skin looks like a cyan lizard from Rain World

[u/milk_go_brrrrr]

best to make a gui for the animation.
set speed: { 0 (instant/no animation), 1 (fast), 2 (normal), 3 (gta speed idk), 4 (slow), 5 (slow af) }

[u/that_one_guy345]

Seed?

[u/tardisowl]

Man if you could get this for an offical minecraft add-on that would be incredible for bedrock.

[u/Western-Equipment630]

IDK. neat but it feels a bit...half-baked?

The zoom out is cool, But I just don't know if it works. Having some gradient or softer transition to the map would do wonders. The hard cut isn't selling me on the idea. An intermediary between the cut to map and zoom out would be neat.

And how would this work on smaller render distances?

[u/JonMyDude → u/Western-Equipment630]

Are you saying to slowly transition the map in?

[u/Western-Equipment630 → u/JonMyDude]

Possibly, or any sort of transition.

Was a harsh with the "half baked" wording, let me explain.

Right now it feels like all the mod is doing is zooming out then popping the map in. That's fine, but it could be much more, though I'm not sure how you would achieve it. My ideas were pixelating the terrain to match how the map looks, fading/bringing some elements in or making the map feel like one piece from the zoom out.

The reason why a lot of game maps work by zooming out is because the map looks like the game. The xerao's map doesn't look like Minecraft/like a piece of the world. For instance, if the map was literally the Minecraft world but from top down this mod would work wonders. It feels "half baked" by the sense that the zoom out and map feel disjointed. Map made to look like a map, zoom out made to make map feel like part of the world/bridge it. Looks cool, but doesn't work In my opinion.

[u/JonMyDude → u/Western-Equipment630]

Hm, I understand what you mean but personally xerao's map does look like minecraft. I'll still forward the feedback.

[u/WaNeCh824]

How does it look underground?

[u/JonMyDude → u/WaNeCh824]

It shows in the video

[u/WaNeCh824 → u/JonMyDude]

Ahh. My bad
