The JourneyMap mod for Minecraft has continued to be a fun project, and I’ve released version 1.5 for Minecraft 1.1.    I’ve also decided to put up a dedicated website for JourneyMap, rather than use space on dev.bukkit.org:

http://journeymap.techbrew.net

Some of my motive to create the new site was to have more freedom in layout/presentation, another was to have a decent knowledge base / helpdesk system.  I also decided to put some ads in place so that JourneyMap might buy me a Starbucks a couple of times a year.

The response to JourneyMap has remained quite positive.  Since the goal was really just to do something I found useful and fun, its been a pleasure to see other people enjoy having the mod available.  Although it doesn’t compare to any of the top mods for Minecraft, I’m happy with what I consider to be a modest success.  At the point of releasing JourneyMap 1.5 last week, there had been nearly 28,000 downloads across all versions.

The new JourneyMap website has an RSS feed and email subscription service for announcements, so please bookmark/subscribe for future updates on JourneyMap.  Or, if you prefer, you can follow @JourneyMapMod on Twitter.

I don’t plan to post here about JourneyMap after this, so please avail yourself of one of the above options if you’re interested in announcements, new releases, etc.

Happy mapping!
