Helix Markers

An addition to the Pl3xMap mod we've been using for a few seasons. Helix Markers now allows you to mark your base on the webmap

Create a marked area

Start by getting at least 3 banners with a color of choice, an equal amount of lodestones and an anvil

  1. Name the banners in the anvil together so they get the same name.
  2. Place a lodestone with one of these banners on top in a corner of the area you want to mark.
  3. Do this for all corners of the area with a max distance of 128 blocks.
  4. Go to the webmap and check out your area.

Things to know

  • The color of all banners need to be the same to make an area. This also defines the color of the area on the webmap.
  • Corners can be added and/or removed at a later date, the area will automatically reshape itself to fit it. As long as new corners are the exact same color and name as the existing corners.
  • The area uses the Convex Hull algorithm, meaning it only uses the most outward corners, so don't waste your time trying to make certain shapes...

Automatic markers

  • When using any type of portal, it will automatically create a marker on the map in both dimensions.
  • When breaking a nether portal, it will automatically remove the marker on the map.
  • When (de)activating a beacon, it will automatically create or remove a marker.
