I just updated to the recent client version, but the map looks aweful, can I roll back to the old one?

Is it somehow possible to roll back to the old map? The new one is soo "clean". And I miss all the little detail, e.g. finding certain types of ground or plant via the map. And the water is just green, not blue anymore, quite unsettling for me. The new one look boring, plain, faded. Just bad in every way. Or is there any mod or whatever to have the old map back?

I just started to play again after maybe 1,5 yrs. And I was excited. I played for 1hr then needed to stop. When I restarted the client asked me to update, yea sure, why not .. but now I feel it is a disaster for me. It is even that bad, that I dont want to play anymore.  Horrible map

There is an option for using the true coloured map at world gen, but once you are in game use 'T' to open the command console then:

.gm creative

then

/worldmap rendermode realistic

then

/worldmap rescan

To give a different perspective, I enjoy a more hardcore VS experience and don't like the full color map because it's kind of a cheat... without it, I am forced to visually search for clay, peat, etc.

I hope you get back into VS and can enjoy the game again... it's great however you like playing it.

You need to reload the game after you make the change.

you dont need to be in creative just need to run the map command and restart the server
