Make maps render faster

Is it possible to make the held map render faster? Im making text render on it. It tells you your chunk position but the words render quite slowly. Is their anyway to fix this?

 

Yep, player.sendMap(map), where map is your MapView object. You can call this from the render() method, but be aware that it will trigger another call to render(), so in that case protect it with some kind of boolean flag, e.g.:

PHP:

public void render(MapView map, MapCanvas canvas, Player player) {
  if (redrawNeeded) {
    // do the redrawing work
    redrawNeeded = false;
    player.sendMap(map);
  }
}


and then you can set the redrawNeeded flag to true elsewhere, when the data that you're rendering changes.

 

Thanks

 

Mind If I ask you one thing? How do I get the Goddamn Canvas!? XD Ive been reading the damn docs and I can't find a way to do it. I know how to get the MapView but no Canvas x.x
