Actually it would be nice to have it if you could change on the server whether or not certain things show on it (ie Players, Vehicles, Items, etc), whether or not you can see things that aren't visible from directly above (ie things that are covered by bricks or are under interiors), the altitude of the minimap 'camera' (how high it floats above the player).
And of course whether or not it's enabled at all, and also have a clientside display toggle.
That'd be good, in my personal opinion, although others may differ.
This post isn't deliberate flamebait lul

That has nothing at all to do with why it's not being made. You'd have to constantly send the positions of everything to the minimap. That means players, bricks, vehicles, etc. Also, it may be impossible to detect certain interiors, such as the bed legs in Bedroom.

Damn you and your technical perspective!
Okay yeah, that's a given. If the minimap were only the size of your draw distance then theoretically you could get it from clientside data but... bleh. I'm not in the mood to argue. D: that means you win by default.

Haha, it wasn't much of a battle :P

Yeah most of the modders look at it that way. There probably IS a solution to that with clientside data but no-one has bothered making this yet.
