Maps

Maps is the world library for one game. The tab is there when the game includes maps and you can view them. Create requires permission to edit maps.

Create a map

Click Create. The dialog has two steps, Basics and Tags.

On Basics, enter a name and choose one of:

• Blank map. An empty catalog entry. World data can come later.
• Upload world. A zip of a Minecraft Anvil world, with level.dat and the region files. You do not upload a preview image.

On Tags, attach any tags that already exist for maps, then finish. New maps are created private.

After an upload, Voxelite converts the world and renders an isometric preview. Tile size steps down for large worlds. The image is at most 4096 pixels on a side. It shows on the map card when that job succeeds. The library can be filtered by name and by tag.

Editing on a Paper server

Ascalon is the Paper plugin for editing maps in game. Commands are /newworld, /save, /list, and /dump. /list opens a paged chest.

In plugins/Ascalon/config.yml, set astra.api-token if saves should go to this Voxelite library. astra.base-url defaults to https://api.voxelite.org. Leave the token blank and Ascalon stores maps in plugins/Ascalon/ascalon.db on that machine instead.
