Maps are close to useless in the Nether. Everything stacked above your head is what ends up on the paper, so a freshly drawn map tells you nothing about the passages you are actually walking through. Better Nether Map changes what gets recorded: only the blocks below a certain height are drawn, which turns a blank sheet into a chart you can navigate by.
That cutoff can simply follow the height at which the map was created, so a map drawn down in a tunnel network charts that level, or it can be pinned to a fixed value in the config when every map in a world should match. The same handling applies to other cave dimensions, so enclosed worlds become as mappable as the surface. It is a tiny addition to a Minecraft 1.21.1 setup, aimed at this one problem.
