+
+Usage
+-----
+In survival mode, use of the minimap requires the mapping kit item in your
+inventory.
+Once crafted, to instantly enable, 'use' (left click) the item, otherwise the
+minimap will be automatically enabled a few seconds later.
+Minimap radar mode is always disabled in survival mode.
+
+Minimap and minimap radar mode will be automatically enabled in creative mode
+and for any player with the 'creative' privilege.
+
+The 'map.update_hud_flags()' function is global so can be redefined by a mod for
+alternative behaviour.
