Thanks for the workaround, works like a charm on my SMP mindcrack server.
Now my friends can't "cheat" anymore :)

I've a mayor performance increase since the mindcrack 8.2.0 release.
I don't know if it has something to do with the replacement of reimaps with voxelmap..

You're welcome!

Rei's map had some memory leaks (people said - not sure if true) but that should not affect your CPU or HDD.
I never had any of the said issues... Don't know what people are doing wrong.
Also I can't see any performance increase on my server. Still the same low cpu/hdd/memory usage.

i absolutely hate the thing where you can only see a waypoint for a thousand blocks and then its gone until your back in reach sooo stupid.

1,000 block range pretty much defeats the purpose of using waypoints at all. I'm sticking with Rei's until something better comes along.

VoxelMap actually was designed for Creative servers (the Voxel Box is a creative freebuilding server) so you're right in that it completely ignores Survival Mode concerns.

Does it bother me personally? Not in the slightest, but then I'm more of a Creative Mode person anyway.

For me unless I am looking at the map all the time it doesn't really bother me. Playing with the Brony pack I almost got ganked by a creeper soo yeah.

no one is forcing use to use voxel. remove it and add in rei's. if your user base is too lazy to customize the pack just that tiny bit, well then they're pretty damn lazy and to heck with 'em. :p

whiny server admin is whiny server admin?

seriously... i just get so tired of people complaining about the specific mods in a pack. you have freedom of choice! pick a different pack! and whilst i understand the trappings of running a public server, you can't please (and/or cater to) everyone. such is the world of pc gaming. i'll say it again, if your user base is incapable of making just a few tiny changes to a modpack, too bad... so sad.

but then again, maybe i'm just a jaded, cynical old fart who's grown tired of the laziness, impatience, and ineptitude of a younger generation.

before this degenerates into a flame war, i'll just shut up from here on out. i do not mean to offend, though i probably have already by being so blunt and forthright with my opinion.

you know, if you remove it fro the server, clients can still cheat and use it.

Of course they could do that anyway whether it was in the pack or not. If I'd known about VoxelMap before I would have used it for certain over Rei's and no-one would have been any the wiser for it either.

Not for me. This is the reason i prefer REI's. I will wander for 2000+ blocks and always being able to see the distance to my last way-point was awesome. With voxel once i go outside that 1k range I have very little base of reference for my distance. It makes reigning in my wander lust more difficult because I am used to the distance/time variable I get from the visible waypoint to determine how much i want to explore.

But it looks prettier than REI's and if it solves the memory leak issues then I'm for it. I do see the problems with servers though and I didn't like the mob and xray features... very cheaty

i would like to apologize for my overly snarky comments. there was no call for me to be a jerk about it.

i actually agree with the OP in his distaste for the voxel mods. rei's is certainly my mod of choice for minimapping needs. it's not a big deal for me to customize mod packs at will because i run a private server for a small group of friends. i can see how it would be frustrating for those operating a larger scale server.

I'm interested in seeing the methods to remove the mobs from displaying on the map, etc. Care to PM me?

I use rei's decompiled to have the MP check off so i can have radar,
I dont call it cheating because the voxel map has entity/player radar on by default, And that other stupid voxel thing that lets you see players from way too far away, Making stealth impossible
