JourneyMap integration

Using MTR Map Overlay with JourneyMap fullscreen maps.

MTR Map Overlay includes full built-in support for JourneyMap. You don’t need a separate add-on or a special JAR — the standard MTR Map Overlay download supports both JourneyMap and Xaero’s World Map out of the box.

Supported JourneyMap versions

Make sure your JourneyMap version meets these minimums:

  • Minecraft 1.21.1: JourneyMap 6.0.8 or newer
  • Minecraft 1.20.1: JourneyMap 6.0.6 or newer
  • Minecraft 1.20.4: JourneyMap 5.10.0 or newer

If JourneyMap isn’t installed in your modpack, MTR Map Overlay simply skips the integration without any errors. You can even have both JourneyMap and Xaero installed at the same time.

What you see on the map

Opening JourneyMap’s fullscreen map gives you:

  • Physical rails & route lines: Physical tracks and color-coded route bundles follow the terrain as you pan and zoom.
  • Landmark icons: Stations, platforms, and depots render cleanly on the fullscreen map. (They won’t clutter your minimap or waypoint lists).
  • Layer buttons: Dedicated TRACKS and ROUTES buttons appear in JourneyMap’s add-on toolbar so you can toggle either layer with a single click.

Live trains and arrival boards

JourneyMap gets all the same features introduced in 1.5.2 and 1.5.3:

  • Moving trains: Real-time train positions across your entire network. Toggle them with /mtrmap config trainCars <true|false>.
  • Station cards & PIDS: Click any station icon to pin its info card, then click Expand to open live arrival boards. Scrolling with your mouse wheel over the arrival list scrolls the departures rather than zooming your map.
  • PIDS styling: Switch between british and european styles using /mtrmap config pidsStyle <style>.

Helpful commands

Along with the standard config commands, there are two JourneyMap-specific diagnostic commands:

  • /mtrmap syncLandmarks: Forces JourneyMap to refresh all transit markers.
  • /mtrmap testMarker: Drops a temporary test pin at your player’s coordinates to verify that JourneyMap’s marker overlay is working properly.
