MapArtPatent – Protect Your Map Creations

MapArtPatent is a powerful Minecraft plugin designed to give map creators full control over their art. With MapArtPatent, you can prevent other players from copying your filled maps or even using them in item frames. Both protections can be enabled individually or together. Additionally, the plugin integrates seamlessly with economy systems, allowing players to purchase map protection directly using in-game currency.

Key Features

• Copy Prevention – Stop others from duplicating your maps.
• Usage Restriction – Control whether maps can be placed in item frames.
• Flexible Economy Integration – Combine with popular currency plugins to monetize map protection.
• Simple Configuration – Fully customizable GUI and plugin settings to match your server’s style.
