MapArtPatent is a powerful Minecraft plugin designed to give map creators full control over their art. With MapArtPatent, you can prevent other players from copying your filled maps or even using them in item frames. Both protections can be enabled individually or together. Additionally, the plugin integrates seamlessly with economy systems, allowing players to purchase map protection directly using in-game currency.
MapArtPatent was originally created for a private server to provide these essential map protections. Now, it’s available to help map creators everywhere maintain ownership and control over their creations.

- Copy Prevention – Stop others from duplicating your maps.
