Interactive map pages now include the current center location in their URL parameters, allowing sharing links to specific points of the map

Interactive map URLs use the y parameter for what would be the z coordinate in Minecraft. Additionally, the URL uses the additive inverse value of this coordinate, so you'll need use the opposite of your Z coordinate (e.g. 500 → -500, -500 → 500) if you're manually typing a location in.

Landmark page syntax changed from /landmarks/<season_num>/<landmark_name>/ to /landmarks/view?l=<landmark_uuid>/
