A small server side mod designed to note the author who created the map. Allows to disable map copying.

Default config values:

# Adds NBT 'authors' when creating a new filled map
copyright: true

# Nobody can make a copy of a map (except authors if 'authorsCanCopy' is 'true')
disableCopy: false

# Works if 'copyright' is/was 'true'
authorsCanCopy: true

# Allows to clean a map with a bucket of water in a cartography table
cleanMap: false

You can manage config in-game with the command /map-art config <config-value> true/false.
To use this command you need the permission map-art-copyright.change-config.
(Alternatively, you can change it manually in config/mapartcopyright.yml)

To use /map-art add <player> or /map-art remove <player> you need to be main author (the first who created filled map) or have the map-art-copyright.add-author, map-art-copyright.remove-author permissions.

This mod uses fabric-permission-api.
To manage these permission, you can use LuckPerms or any other mod that can be used in this way.

If you only want to block map copying, you can set all false, except disableCopy.
cleanMap enables the ability to clean a map with a bucket of water on a cartography table.
