Would it be possible to run this without a server for local saves? I love the mod but it would be really cool if I did not need a server to do it. I tried downloading the fabric mod but when I ran the game no config files were generated and the commands did not appear. Is it not supported or am I just doing something wrong?

So as it happens, I was doing something wrong. Still not sure if this is exactly supported but it works.

Installing BlueMap on the client is not officially supported. It is server-side only.
However, it does work with a bit of fiddling. If you need help setting it up, feel free to join our Discord Server :)

We generally recommend using the BlueMap CLI for single-player worlds. That is officially supported.
