What this mod does
Hytale’s world map only shows the nearby area and forgets where you’ve been. BetterMap is a server plugin that permanently saves everything you explore, so your map grows with you session after session.
What it adds
- Persistent exploration: visited areas stay recorded between sessions.
- Cave mode to see underground, with an optional fog of war.
- An expanded waypoint system: create, edit and teleport to marked points (depending on the permissions set by the admin).
- World border display and a player radar on the compass.
- Shared map mode so the whole group can see what anyone has explored.
- Multi-world support and dynamic chunk loading to avoid hurting performance.
Who it’s for
For players who play long survival saves and want to find their way without jotting down coordinates, and for server admins looking for a shared map for their community. It includes an in-game config menu.

Common problems
Do all players on a server have to install it?
No. In Hytale, mods run on the server and players receive the content when they connect.
I copied the mod but it doesn't show up in my save
Mods are enabled per world: right-click the world, check BetterMap and save the settings.
Is what I explored before installing the mod lost?
The mod can only record what you explore after it's installed; you'll have to revisit earlier areas.
