1MB-MapHide

1MB-MapHide is a Paper addon for BlueMap that lets players control whether their live marker is shown on the map. It is a 1MB-customized fork of TechnicJelle's BlueMapPlayerControl.

The main command is /bmpc. Players can use /bmpc, /bmpc toggle, /bmpc show, and /bmpc hide; admins can use target, status, config, and reload subcommands. /map hide is a configurable alias that runs the same self-toggle logic as /bmpc toggle.

Changelog Summary

Version 2.0.1 is the Paper 26.2 stable compatibility and housekeeping release. It pins io.papermc.paper:paper-api:26.2.build.84-stable, keeps Java 25 bytecode, adds the /bmpc version compatibility alias, reports the exact compiled Paper API in diagnostics, makes release-build retries deterministic, validates generated metadata and documented jar names, and deploys only to the maintained Paper 26.2 test server. The existing /bmpc, /map hide, MiniMessage translations, comment-preserving configuration, permissions, timers, default visibility, admin tools, and PlaceholderAPI behavior remain intact.

Supported Servers

This build targets Java 25 bytecode and the exact stable Paper API coordinate io.papermc.paper:paper-api:26.2.build.84-stable. Paper 26.2 build 84 stable is the maintained release-test server:

Server	BlueMap plugin
Paper 26.2 build 84 stable	bluemap-5.22-paper.jar

The generated plugin metadata declares api-version: 26.2, so this release is not intended for older Paper versions. Use an older MapHide build for Paper 26.1.2 or 1.21.11.

Configuration

The Paper plugin name is 1MB-MapHide, so the data folder is:

plugins/1MB-MapHide/

Default files:

• plugins/1MB-MapHide/config.yml
• plugins/1MB-MapHide/Translations/Locale_EN.yml

Set language: EN in config.yml. To add French, create Translations/Locale_FR.yml, set language: FR, then restart or run /bmpc reload.

Important settings:

language	EN	Translation file suffix.
bmpc-toggle-alias	/map hide	Alias command that runs /bmpc toggle; set to "" to disable.
default-visibility	show	show or hide for newly handled joins.
apply-default-visibility-on-first-join-only	true	Applies default only to first joins when true.
toggle-back-after-seconds	0	Seconds after a self toggle before toggling again. 0 disables it.
forced-permissions.enabled	false	Enables forced visibility permission handling.

Building

Requirements:

• Gradle 9.6.1 or newer
• JDK 25.0.4 at /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-25.0.4.jdk/Contents/Home
• The exact Maven dependency io.papermc.paper:paper-api:26.2.build.84-stable
• The local servers/Paper-26.2 folder with plugins/bluemap-5.22-paper.jar and optional plugins/PlaceholderAPI-2.12.3.jar

Build release 028 and deploy it to the maintained Paper 26.2 test server:

JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-25.0.4.jdk/Contents/Home \
gradle --no-daemon -PreleaseBuildNumber=028 clean build

Jars are named like:

1MB-BlueMap-MapHide-v2.0.1-028-j25-26.2.jar

The plugin version comes from gradle.properties. The three-digit build number is stored in build-number.txt and advances for a new unpinned jar build. Pin releaseBuildNumber when repeating a release build so retries reuse the intended number instead of incrementing it again. The Java and Paper parts of the jar name are target identifiers, not the semantic plugin version.

verifyReleaseMetadata checks source and documentation values. verifyArtifactMetadata checks the generated plugin.yml, build information, jar name, and Java 25 class version. Both run as part of check.

After a successful build, deployServers copies the jar into servers/Paper-26.2/plugins/. Before copying, it renames active older MapHide jars in that folder by appending .disabled.

Installation

1. Stop the Paper server.
2. Put 1MB-BlueMap-MapHide-v2.0.1-028-j25-26.2.jar in plugins/.
3. Make sure BlueMap is also in plugins/.
4. Remove or disable old BlueMapPlayerControl-*.jar copies.
5. Start the server.
6. Configure plugins/1MB-MapHide/config.yml.
7. In game, run /bmpc or /map hide to toggle your marker.
