FiveM minimap download: a complete resource, not a folder of PNGs

What is in the download

One resource folder named after the map. Inside it, a stream directory with the twelve texture dictionaries the game loads for the radar and the pause map — minimap_0_0 through minimap_2_1 for the main sheet, the sea tiles, the LOD sheet — plus the geometry file that maps them and the zoom data that controls how the radar scales at each level. The manifest is written for you. Nothing needs renaming, nothing needs a script, and nothing depends on a framework.

The source art is 6144 × 9216 pixels, which is the exact resolution the game samples across its 2 × 3 grid, so there is no upscaling anywhere in the chain. Each tile is stored as DXT5 with a full mip chain, which is what stops the shimmer you see on packs that ship a single mip level. The whole resource is about 22 MB on disk, and it streams like any other texture — there is no measurable frame cost against the stock map.

• 78 stream files — every dictionary the game asks for, not just the pause map
• 6144 × 9216 source, no upscaling, full mip chains
• fxmanifest.lua already correct; one ensure line to install
• Works on QBCore, Qbox, ESX, vMenu and standalone — it replaces a texture, not a script
• Zip is about 22 MB; extracts to one folder

Delivery, re-downloads and updates

Checkout is handled by Stripe. The moment the payment clears, the receipt page shows the download link and the same link appears under Orders in your account. There is no waiting for an email, no approval, and no key to paste anywhere. If you lose the file, sign in and download it again — re-downloads are free and unlimited, for as long as the shop exists.

If a map is rebuilt — a rendering fix, a cleaner coastline, a new source pass — the updated resource replaces the file behind your existing link. You do not buy the same map twice.

Maps designed in the studio with your own logo or text are built to order after payment, which takes about a minute, and then appear in the same place. The design itself is saved to your account so you can reopen it, move the logo and export again.

Before you download anything: the three things that break installs

Most "minimap not working" threads are not about the map at all. They are about one of three things you can check in thirty seconds.

First, another resource already streaming minimap files. Server bases, HUD bundles and some map mods ship their own minimap_*.ytd, and two resources fighting over the same file name means whichever starts last wins — and it is rarely the one you paid for. Search your resources folder for minimap_0_0 before you install.

Second, the client cache. FiveM keeps the old texture until the cache is cleared, so a correctly installed map can look unchanged until the player wipes it. Third, the ensure line placed above the framework in server.cfg — put the map after everything that touches the HUD, not before.

• Search resources for minimap_0_0.ytd — remove or disable the duplicate
• Ensure the map after your HUD and framework, not before
• Clear the client cache once after installing
• Restart the server fully, not just the resource, the first time

Free download versus this one

There are good free FiveM minimaps, and if your server has not launched yet, one of them is the right first choice — the comparison guide names them. The difference you are paying $8.00 for is not resolution alone. It is a map nobody else is running, in a palette you chose, with the postal decision made the way you want it, and the option of your own logo on it for a dollar more. A free pack is by definition the same map as everyone else, and it usually arrives with somebody’s branding you did not ask for.

Try every theme in the live preview first. It is the full-resolution map in the browser, zoomable to street level, and it costs nothing to look.
