Empty squares in map

[Gallows]

Empty squares in map, why they no be mapped? Like... minimap has trees and whatnot, and then there's a big green square. Why dis?

No idea what you're talking about, friend. Take a screenshot.

The reason why is that the mini-map does not update instantly. It takes awhile for the minimap to register changes to the environment. I can't give you an exact time in which it updates them either. So you'll have plots that have been deforested by new players but still register as being fully forested.

I have no idea if this is what the OP is talking about, but lately I've been finding some minimap squares really slow to load. Like, I will stand in this square and chop down a tree and take the stump out, and the minimap of that square there is visible, but I am standing alone, a little red x in the middle of a sudden thick fog. I have been assuming that is is related to the way the minimap totally fell over on the day the forums crashed.

That looks like the minimap is just lagging to load the area.

But yet that area's been like that for weeks?

Also it changed on the minimap when I plowed the area?

Loftar said that it's minimap genration and backing up data that causes lags. Maybe to reduce lags he decided to remove automatic minimap generation and now it only updates when something changes in it?

I have never had that problem with the default client, at least not that color. It could possibly be an Ender's Client problem.

I've noticed this over the last 2-3 days. Minimap no longer has red cross marking where you are and some of the areas in minmap are blank.

I also use enders but it was fine until a few days ago.
