    Full support, owning 1000s of maps and having to keep track of what's allowed to be resold is just not a feasible expectation. Personally, I'd prefer the 2 ideas be combined. If a map has the "FOR RESALE" NBT tag, it should be copy-able, and if it has the "NOT FOR RESALE" tag, be uncopy-able.

    However, it should be reversible by the creator of the map, and by the creator only. There would be issues with people changing resale status, and if itd be applied to all maps with the respective ID, and the undue lag that would inevitably occur. I imagine making resale status change on server restart (status wouldnt be changed until after restart) could prevent some of that issue though. Definitely in support of this, but edge cases like this should be taken into account.

    This, in conjunction with Arrow975's transparent item frames, would be absolutely invaluable to the mapart creators, and the collectors.

    The fact this has been going on for 5 years is crazy. Both ideas are great, though in my opinion the second one is a lot simpler.

    Why hasn't this been marked as under evaluation? Development time has been spent on it.

    I didnt even know this was a thing. Where can we see what is under evaluation and development time?

    Full support, full send. Even if you have to update each map manually, this is still a game changer.

    No need to update maps already made, just give us this feature, that's all I'm asking

    Agreed. Considering that mapart is one of the biggest features of skyblock that allows us to express our creativity, there should already be an anti copy method put in place. I've been told repeatedly that mapart rules are in a grey area, but allowing us to lock our own maps to prevent copying would be one way to help with that. Plus more artists would share their work if they knew it couldn't be copied or resold
