Map In Slot Mod (1.21.7, 1.20.1) – Visualize Your Maps in Inventory

download Skip to Downloads

Map In Slot Mod (1.21.7, 1.20.1) introduces a simple yet powerful quality-of-life feature for Minecraft players who frequently use maps. In the vanilla game, all maps share the same generic icon in your inventory even after they’ve been filled in making it difficult to tell them apart without renaming. This mod solves that issue by rendering the actual map image directly inside the inventory slot, letting you instantly recognize and organize your maps by sight.

Whether you’re a cartographer, explorer, or just someone who loves mapping out builds, this mod eliminates the hassle of guessing which map is which.
