blueprint map

Seeing how the mini-map interface is coming along, I was wondering if there could also be another similar interface especially made for builders. Instead of a rounded map, it will be on a separate window, and gridded like a blueprint. here are my thoughts so far on the idea (includes bad Photoshop skills).

let’s say that we’re standing in an area of a world like so (aerial view dedicated for this example).

when opening the blueprint map interface, It will only show 100×100 blocks (or more if possible) such as this example. The map will show only the top view of the blocks, but it will seperate each block with a grid. allowing you to create a layout for your settlement. It’s not accurate, but it’s a concept!

with options:

In here we can edit the map by picking a color and placing it in one of the pixels, use the eraser tool to erase ONLY the color, and if possible, increase the area of the map for larger layouts.

Controls For larger blueprint map

Able to scale it up or down- hold down ALT + scroll button.

Thoughts, feedback, more suggestions are always welcome.
P.S. Sorry if that was a bad explanation, i’m not really good at speaking or typing it out 😡
