Understand the Mapbox Standard style
summary
Mapbox Standard is a 3D basemap platform that delivers runtime-configurable styling, dynamic lighting, and a slots system replacing 120+ layers so custom layers insert safely without breaking on updates. It ships over 1,600 landmark icons for 40+ cities, supports a toggle to disable 3D for lightweight 2D use, and exposes color transforms via lookup tables (LUTs). Developers change configs at runtime, use a clip layer to remove base features, and must update the Mapbox SDK to receive new style options.
