# Servers

Several worlds behind one address, the server rules Charted follows, and the servers it stays off on.

Charted needs nothing on a server. It works on vanilla servers and Realms, and keeps a map per world. Waypoints and maps are kept per server address, in the `charted/maps` folder of your Minecraft folder.

## Several worlds behind one address

Many servers have several worlds behind one address: a lobby, survival, a resource world, minigames. Charted tells them apart so each gets its own map and waypoints:

* By what it sees: the world's age, its spawn, its seed and its bedrock. So it needs no land in common, and a warp, a far teleport or a death somewhere new keeps the right map.
* By the world ids servers send for other map mods: Xaero's Minimap's, JourneyMap's, VoxelMap's and FTB Chunks'. A server with MapModCompanion or a plugin like it gets one map per world without asking anything of you. Charted needs none of them.
* When it cannot be sure, it asks instead of mixing two maps: a line in chat says it maps this as another world, with **It's the same world** to join them.
* Once land shows a "new" world was a known one, it folds the maps back together, waypoints too.
* A resource world or arena the server wipes starts a fresh map in the same world; the old one is kept beside it.
* A game server's rounds and rotating maps stay one world, and a new round starts blank.
* A friend's world over LAN or through a hosting mod finds its map again each time.

## Follow /server

[**Follow /server (experimental)**](https://voxelsprout.com/charted/wiki/settings#setting-follow-server-experimental), under Storage, off by default. On a network of servers behind one address, Charted notes which server you ask for with `/server <name>` and keeps a map per server. Only your own commands are read; nothing is sent.

## Server rules

Charted follows what a server set up for Xaero's Minimap and JourneyMap, so a server set up for either gets the same from Charted:

| A server can turn off               | Through                                                                                                                                                  |
| ----------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Cave view                           | Xaero's fair play (which can still allow it in the Nether), JourneyMap's permissions                                                                     |
| Mobs on the map, players on the map | Xaero's fair play, JourneyMap's permissions (hostile and other mobs each on their own)                                                                   |
| The minimap                         | Xaero's codes, JourneyMap's permissions                                                                                                                  |
| Teleporting from the map            | JourneyMap's permissions                                                                                                                                 |
| Waypoints, death points             | JourneyMap's permissions                                                                                                                                 |
| Coordinates                         | JourneyMap's hidden coordinates: the lines under the minimap, the world map's pointer box, the waypoint editor and sharing in chat leave the numbers out |
| Far players on the minimap          | The game's own locator bar rule                                                                                                                          |

Chat says "This server has turned off:" and what, and the top of the Minimap tab in the settings says it too, so a missing feature is never a mystery. Your settings are kept and apply again on other servers.

## Servers Charted stays off on

Some servers' rules don't allow minimaps at all. They start on the list [**Servers Charted stays off on**](https://voxelsprout.com/charted/wiki/settings#setting-servers-charted-stays-off-on), under Storage in the settings, beginning with Hypixel. There Charted is off, and a line in chat says so.

Removing a server from the list turns Charted on there, at your own risk. On Hypixel the map then starts empty for each game and shows only what you see: no radar, cave view, biome view, slime chunks or teleporting.
