Warning:
Better Maps requires Optifine or colormatic & CITResewn to work properly.


Description:
Better Maps is a resource pack that retextures maps, changes map colors to better match the terrain, and adds different map variants to help customize and keep track of your maps.


Map Customization:
Here is a table of what can be included in a map's name to change your map's item texture (this does not change the color of the map itself). Everything is case insensitive and spaces are wildcards (eg. Light-Blue is valid).

Probably not, many features in this pack are now thankfully redundant. The main feature maps are still missing is a modern color palette.

Hi! Could i please use the map color change part of this awesome texturepack of yours in my own texturepack? You would be properly credited in the "README" of my pack and i will be really grateful! I really wanted to add more accurate maps but i never knew how am i supposed to do that and you did it perfectly! If you want i can sent you a link to the pack so you can make sure that everything is all right.

Yes, you can copy the map color changes to your resource pack. I would also like a link to your resource pack just because I'm curious about your resource pack.

I would prefer there to be more colour changes with the grass. The savanna grass texture is the same as most other grass. There's probably more that are the same that I haven't discovered though. Pretty much the only grass that changed that I noticed is the plains being slightly brighter. I would like the savanna to be more brown.

I understand if you don't want to change these small things. If can you tell me how to find the code is that changes the colour of the grass is then I can do it myself. I already tried but all I could find was the default colour properties for other blocks.

For some reason I thought the plains were a brighter green because I just checked and they aren't. In fact none of the grass is different I don't think.
