Antique Atlas 4 is a client-side Minecraft Java world-map frontend for Surveyor. It represents explored chunks with hand-drawn tiles; players open the map with M, drag to pan, and scroll to zoom. Bookmark controls add or remove markers, while waypoint styles, accent colors, and a graphical editor provide ways to manage waypoint markers. The map can mark notable structures and active Nether portals, but those markers appear after a player has seen the structure or stood on it in-game. Players can share map exploration and waypoints with friends using Surveyor’s `/surveyor share [player]` command. The mod can migrate waypoints from Xaero’s Minimap and shares a save format with Hoofprint. The project lists Minecraft Java Edition versions 1.19.2, 1.20.1, and 1.21.1, and supports Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt. Surveyor Map Framework is required; Connector and FFAPI are also required on Forge or NeoForge. The project is free and LGPL-3.0-or-later licensed. Its API is described as unstable.
