Antique Atlas 4 is a hand-drawn world map for Fabric, NeoForge, Quilt and Forge. It rewrites Hunternif's Antique Atlas, as continued by Kenkron, asie and tyra314, and draws its data from Surveyor Map Framework. It runs only on the player's own machine, and multiplayer hosts do not support it.

What the atlas does
Press M to open the map. Drag to pan, scroll to zoom, and use the bookmark buttons to add or remove markers. Each explored chunk is drawn as a hand-painted tile.
- Waypoint markers come in several styles and accent colors.
- Rename a book "Antique Atlas" at an anvil to hold the map in your hands.
- Notable structures and active nether portals get markers automatically, once you have looked at or stood on them.
- Share explored area and waypoints with /surveyor share [player].
- Waypoints migrate automatically from Xaero's Minimap.
Installing and configuring
- 1.Set up your loader with the mod installation guide.
- 2.Put the Antique Atlas 4 file and each required dependency in the mods folder.
- 3.On Forge and NeoForge, add Connector and FFAPI as well.
- 4.Launch with the loader profile and press M.
Settings live in config/antique-atlas.toml, or in McQoy if installed. They cover whether the hotkey needs an atlas item, map size and scale, which structures are marked, and grave styling.
Resource packs and addons
Tiles, markers and biome detection are data-driven through resource packs. Without defined biomes the atlas guesses tiles from tags and shows ??? if that fails. The API is not stable.
Questions about Antique Atlas 4.
4 questions
Does Antique Atlas 4 work in multiplayer?
It is a map screen that runs on the player's own machine, and multiplayer hosts do not support it, so nothing needs installing there. Sharing explored area and waypoints with friends goes through Surveyor with the /surveyor share [player] command.
How do I get the handheld atlas?
Rename a book to "Antique Atlas" at an anvil and you can hold the map in your hands. With the AA4 Atlas addon installed, the handheld atlas gets a full item ID and a crafting recipe instead.
Is Antique Atlas 4 the same as the original Antique Atlas?
No. It is a rewrite of Hunternif's original Antique Atlas, continued by Kenkron, asie and tyra314. This version is a map frontend for Surveyor Map Framework, using Surveyor's save data to draw its tiles.
Which key opens the map?
Press M at any time to bring up the world map. A config option can require an atlas item in your inventory before the hotkey works, and the same file adjusts the map screen's size and scale.
