How about server competitions? Win a contest and get a continent named after you.

The full map has been online since yesterday. There are probably people who didn't want their houses mapped, and I apologise if this is you.

If you build any houses in the future and don't want them to be seen, place a sign with the word hideMe on it anywhere near your house. Can be underground or anything. Has to be all one word. It's not case sensitive. Doesn't matter what line you put it on or what else is on the sign. This will hide any blocks within a 24m radius from the sign. If you want to hide an area more than 48m across, you'll need multiple signs.

Please consider other people when doing this and don't place such signs inside towns.

hideMe signs wont leave a conspicuous gap in the map or anything - they just mean that the map will show the area as looking however it did in the last successful scan of that chunk.

Continent names - that's a really neat idea! Should be easy enough to do. Do you have any idea how you want that to look?

And I've updated the first post now. Thanks for reminding me.

They're already clickable is the thing.

Of course. Not sure how the interface would work, but it's perfectly possible. I was kind of thinking Broonie might like to integrate the thing into the main site. Uploading photos is something that would work better if that were the case. I'd be happy to listen to any ideas you have though.

Broonie just gave me permision to cartograph the whole map. I'm writing the autopilot script right now. Even by air, it could take up to an hour to scan the whole map.

New Features!

Now with a 100% genuine loading bar (the fact that it actually needs one for loading in a 543kb file says a lot about our home broadband upload speeds)

Also with more mapping modes - height-map and zombie map (which shows where zombies could spawn, taking into account the effect of height added in the Halloween update - I'm sure it will be useful one day!)

Using apostrophes in tags no longer breaks everything.

Lots of little UI improvements, like being able to zoom by scrolling, it showing what city you're looking at when you zoom in close, tag text colour changing for night mode, and lots of other little things you are quite unlikely to notice

-6,500? It's your own stupid fault for moving so far away! All the major settlements are within 1,500 blocks of spawn. If people start moving beyond that en mass, then it would be worthwhile expanding the map I think. Expanding the map to your house would increase the area of the map 16 times, which is a lot of extra land to map!

EDIT - just noticed you actually went to the effort of tagging your house! lol

The path to pyramid I found in my recycle bin just before CCleaner emptied it.
