📖About Map Face

Map Face Banner

Wear a filled map on your head and MapFace renders the actual map texture directly on the front of your face.

This is a client-side Fabric mod with an optional Paper plugin for better multiplayer syncing.

What it does

If a player equips a filled_map in the head slot, MapFace replaces the normal head-item rendering and draws the map itself as a flat face mask.

That means:

  • Your own worn map renders on your face
  • Other players wearing maps can also render correctly
  • The map stays attached to the face and follows head rotation

How it works

Client-only mode

MapFace works by default as a client-side mod.

In this mode, you can always see your own worn maps, and you can see other players' worn maps only if your client already has that map's data.

Usually that means you must have:

  • held that map before, or
  • received its map data another way, such as from an item frame

If your client has never seen that map's data, there is nothing to render yet.

Optional Paper plugin

MapFace also supports an optional Paper server plugin.

When the plugin is installed on the server, clients with MapFace can sync map data automatically so worn maps render much more reliably between players.

This improves multiplayer by:

  • preloading needed map data before the client notices it is missing
  • keeping worn maps updated while they are being viewed
  • allowing modded clients to see each other's worn maps much more consistently

Unmodded clients are ignored safely, and the client mod still works fine without the plugin.

Requirements

Client

  • Fabric Loader
  • Fabric API
  • MapFace client mod

Optional server support

  • Paper server
  • MapFace Paper plugin

Usage

  1. Obtain a filled_map
  2. Equip it in the head slot
  3. Look in third person, or have another MapFace user look at you

Notes

  • This mod is primarily visual
  • It does not require the server plugin to function
  • The Paper plugin only improves synchronization for players using the client mod
  • Best results in multiplayer happen when both the client mod and the optional server plugin are installed

Compatibility

  • Designed for the current supported Minecraft/Fabric version listed on this page
  • Client-side safe by default
  • Vanilla/Paper/Fabric servers are joinable with the client mod installed

Why use it?

Because putting a map on your head should show the map on your face.
