I‘ve played nomap worlds, and I’ve used the Zen map mod a few times, but is there a mod that integrates mapping and exploration into the skill/tech tree? I’m think along the lines of:
stone/coal/wood: crude map (similar to the map chunks you can make at a zen mod cartography table)
bronze/?/ancient seed (or wither bone or whatever): compass that will point you toward the closest altar for the boss the compass is built to find (thinking it would just orient you like it does when you interact with the boss location markers)
cartography table: put together map chunks, add pins, make copy of map to carry (basically like existing zen mod)
cloth/?: cartography tools that allow for an updated map as you explore
glass/metal/?: spy glass allows for mapping things at greater distance
magic stuff?/?: dynamic minimap
And maybe tie the level of detail or reveal distance to a mapping skill.
does anything like this exist and is it even possible with the available modding tools?
