It's surprising how the first animated map was created all the way back in 2011, yet I've never heard of animated maps until now.

[@CAEC64]

sethblind was ahead of its time!

[@Arvl.]

Its pretty cool

i saw the sethbling one in the Minecraft handbook thing

[@PLAYER42_ready]

Completely agreed

[@zynidian]

There's actually another kind of animated map which allows for a 4 frame animated loop, much more similar to a GIF. It relies on placing the four 64x64 frames in each of the corners of the map, with each frame rotated 90 degrees from the last. When the map is placed in an Item frame and right click is held down to spin it, the animation will play in one of the corners.

[@fastvincent1]

Yeah, I saw some examples of that. I consider them as optical illusion as they are still images. Here's another example of it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/robdk6ODhLOUfZY

[@victoreuntai]

@@fastvincent1 I think he's talking about that instead kzbin.info/www/bejne/a36bmaKKmN-Hrqs

[@jonasgrill1155]

@@victoreuntai I imagine if you do that method you can also block off the other frames with a staircase, so you only see the correct frame, right?

[@WhatIsMyPorpoise]

@@fastvincent1 what if animated maps were combined with this. Dunno why you'd want it, but it sounds cool

[@zynidian]

@@jonasgrill1155 I've tried that myself and it does kinda work, but you have to put the stair case a block in front of the block the item frame occupies, because placing the stair directly in front will cause the item frame to pop off the wall. Honestly the main issue with using a staircase is just how small the viewport is, since you're looking at an image 1/2 the size of a block, standing 3 blocks away from it.

[@DeWitherWarrior]

The fact that it only changes when a player loads the chunk means you can create an alarm system notifying when somebody has been to your base, you can keep a map of your base on you and you'll know when someone is in your base if it changes, you can set up an alarm system on top of the neher highway roof to tell you if somebody was near it and have a bot ping you when it happens and you can track them down instantly, pretty insane stuff what you can do with this

[@Gagaboubou]

They need to hold a map

[@alphamoonman]

I'm certain on anarchy servers such as 2b2t, as this becomes more prominent, someone will do bothosting, and implement scripts where bots use fly hacks and unbreaking efficiency tools and blocks to make very animated gifs. Instead of redstone, they would use a bunch of bots to transform parts of a 2x2 chunk area to make a more animated or noisy animated map.

[@Buttered.Coffee]

Smart

[@clarethecat5199]

Idea: You and your friend have a base together, and a secret second base far away in chunks where nobody else lives or travels through. Set up a very subtle animation (like, only a block or two) so that if one of you is there, the other will know because the animation's playing and not frozen. I'm thinking that could be cool for something like the Dream SMP where /msg could be a bit bland as far as lore is concerned. You could even have multiple secret bases all with their own maps. That way, if someone is in hiding and needs to let an ally know where they are, the plan still works even if one base is compromised. Idk, I just love this kinda stuff. I think it'd be so cool to actually utilize my ideas for a story instead of just in a lonely singleplayer world lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@ThePhireEclipse]

You could also use it as a radar to know if anyone is in those chunks... I could see that being useful on servers like 2b, it’s a constant monitor. If the animation is playing someone is there

Remember, it only animated if someone is holding the map there.

[@runic6452]

Idea: link a map art into an industrial district (or even put them together) and make gauges for each farm. (Ex,, in a mob farm, when a certain amount of chests are filled, a bar will be filled slowly until the whole storage system is filled, that way you know when to unstock and/or collect the materials gathered from the farm and either use them or transport into a different storage system [in server case, sell them]) also, i wonder if armor stands update maps... That would be cool! Another idea: Tamagotchi! An animated pet in a map, (i dunno how it can be interacted with, maybe use something like the item activator that docm77 built from player-item hotbar update reader and blockers, but) it can be just an animated pet that moves constantly inside the map

[@racdiecoon4994]

you would only be able to have max two or three colours wouldnt you? the static "off" colour, and one or two colours depending on how it works

Etho implemented the first on his Nexus, and built a redstone machine for the second. I'm blanking out on what he named it but I keep thinking Wilson. He needs to feed it and all that with a complicated system where it can even get sick which requires "medicine" (golden Apple). Wouldn't take much to port it onto a map animation since the most complicated part was trying to fit it all into his base without overlapping his many farms and redstone builds.

[@runic6452]

@@lazylazerrsp8781 ohhh that's so cool! I'm an etho fan but i've never heard that before. Where did he put 'wilson' btw? I wanna see how he made it. (Hermitcraft or EPM? I think i somehow missed it or sumthin)

[@lazylazerrsp8781]

@@runic6452 it's in the man cave, you can find it much easier in his most recent world tour. He built 1-3 years ago, but still takes care of it. I forget the name but I keep thinking it's Wilson because I remember him referencing castaway's Wilson volleyball.

If lag is your big concern, I think that minimizing redstone dust would be an even bigger focus than minimizing pistons

Unless lighting lag is fully squashed, let's not forget lighting up the redstone, too!

[@melody_florum]

I’ve seen this idea taken to the next level with plugins. Plugins can take full control over the data sent to the client so can send arbitrary map data. Maps aren’t directly tied to the world and static plugin-generated map art has been a thing for ages. I’ve seen this taken to an insane level on callmecarson’s new server where his entire stream is animated on maps in the server.

[@ErikChristensensScanSpace]

That clip from Sethbling takes me back, we were making similar interactive map based redstone games like Conway's game of life, checkers and general screens out of redstone from early 2011 up to this day. The server we did it on was called RDF, which now flies under the banner 'open redstone engineers'

[@Bleu_Sans777]

Animated 2b2t map art idea: An message, if your base is attacked it shows a text saying "Danger!" It works with some detecters

Wow this is really cool, but you should see the other animated map arts on other 2b2t clones.

[@MrDoughnut99]

These designs are amazing! Animated maps are so cool. I made a map of my base where my moss farm is, and I noticed that when I hold the map I can see the stone being converted into moss and then the moss being replaced by stone again, I think this could be a useful mechanic for animated map artists, as it creates like a little green plume/blossom effect that then disappears and repeats. I also notice grass being eaten by sheep this way too lol.

I never documented it, but back in 2015 I remember after re watching the Sethbling map changer, was able using block changers and piston feed tapes. The server we had it on used the map as a full 24 hour day clock as to keep sink with the world and server.

Aaaaa, a fun idea for a group Minecraft series would be a team based Go game. Where each team has their color and they compete in challenges to place a piece on the board.

[@lazylazerrsp8781]

It might become possible to have each pixel customizable. The toughest part might be solvable in the Y coord update, which raised min/max height. You could make a map in which each pixel can be whatever color you want. Though still limited to the smaller maps. Basically, an inverted pyramid so that you don't have the redstone showing on the map, using the stair case method. Have columns of each pixel color with pistons pushing certain blocks then have the next column set to block the redstone and so on, so forth. You could also just make the world's slowest etch and sketch, where the controls move the line one or so blocks at a time.
