Sneak-peek: Manual World Map Selection

Added 2020-05-18 15:09:39 +0000 UTC

Hello,

I hope everyone is healthy and doing well! Here's an early preview of something I've been working on for the past few weeks (still very much WIP). And this something is a new menu for manually selecting your current map on a server. It should fix all of the common problems with current "multiworld detection". You will be able to select a different map at any time using the menu and even switch between 3 map selection modes:

Manual - you are asked to select and confirm the world map every time you switch worlds or dimensions. This will be the new default mode to avoid all potential problems caused by the other 2.

World Spawn - the world map is selected and confirmed automatically based on the world spawn point that the game client is aware of. This is essentially the same system as used in the latest release but with a few bugs fixed and the ability to change what maps are bound to what world spawns (using the new menu). It's kind of like "Make Sub-World Auto" from the minimap mod.

Single - each dimension has a single world map that is automatically confirmed. Useful for simple servers with a single world.

The minimap mod will take advantage of the new system as well! I don't know if I like the current icon for the menu, by the way. Probably going to change it.

I hope the video isn't confusing and thank you for the support!
