MapDistanceFix

A very simple Minecraft Fabric mod that fixes map player indicators to always show the player's position and direction, even when outside map boundaries, making it much easier to navigate treasure maps and other map items.

✨ Features

• Always Visible Player: Ensures the player icon is always visible on maps, even when far outside the map boundaries
• Correct Direction: Shows the player's actual facing direction instead of a generic off-map indicator
• Client-Side Only: No server modifications required - should work on any server

🎯 Why This Mod?

In vanilla Minecraft, when you're far from a map's boundaries, the player indicator either disappears entirely or shows as a generic "player_off_map" decoration without directional information. This mod fixes that by:

1. Converting off-map player decorations to regular player decorations
2. Maintaining correct rotation to show which direction you're facing
3. Ensuring the player is always visible for better navigation (Does not work with normal maps. Only treasure and explorer maps. Due to vanilla limitation, the player icon disappears if you are far away on normal maps.)

🔄 Compatibility

• Server Compatibility: Should work on any Minecraft server (vanilla, Fabric, Forge, Paper, etc.)
• Other Mods: Should be compatible with most other mods that don't heavily modify map rendering

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Player decoration not showing

• Verify you're using a compatible Minecraft version (1.21 or later)
• Check that Fabric API is properly installed
• Make sure you're looking at a map item, not just the world map
