How to Import the MonkeyCraft Server Map into JourneyMap

This guide shows you how to import the pre-generated MonkeyCraft world map into your local JourneyMap so you can see the full world without exploring it manually.

🧭 Overview

JourneyMap stores its map tiles locally on your computer, not on the server.
To help you start with a fully revealed map, the MonkeyCraft team provides a ZIP file containing the pre-rendered tiles from the server world.

You’ll only need to do this once per modpack update.

📦 Step 1: Download the Map File

1. Download the latest pre-generated map ZIP

2. Save it somewhere easy to find, like your desktop or Downloads folder.

📝 Tip: Do not unzip it yet — you’ll import it directly inside JourneyMap.

⚙️ Step 2: Import Using JourneyMap

1. Join the MonkeyCraft server with the modpack installed.
2. Press J to open JourneyMap.
3. Click the ⚙️ Options button (top right).
4. Choose Import/Export → Import Map.
5. Select the ZIP you downloaded earlier.
6. Wait while it imports the map tiles — this can take a minute.

When it’s done, your in-game map will now show the entire pre-rendered world!

🧠 Note: You can safely import even if you’ve already explored parts of the map. JourneyMap will merge your existing tiles with the imported ones.
