BlueMap is a tool that generates 3d-maps of your Minecraft worlds and displays them in your browser. Take a look at [this demo](https://bluecolored.de/bluemap). It is really easy to set up - almost plug-and-play - if you use the integrated web-server (optional).
The plugins/mods automatically update your map as soon as something changes in your world, as well as rendering newly generated terrain and managing the render-tasks.
Some features and some blocks are still missing. Especially some tile-entities will not render correctly/at all. See below for a list of what is planned for future releases.
### Download
You can choose a version and download BlueMap from [here](https://github.com/BlueMap-Minecraft/BlueMap/releases).
### Using BlueMap
BlueMap can be used on the command-line, or as a plugin/mod for your Sponge/Spigot/Paper/Forge/Fabric-Server. Read the [wiki](https://github.com/BlueMap-Minecraft/BlueMap/wiki) to get started!

Keep in mind that we have to maintain all new features and keep supporting them in the future.
This means we always can decide to not accept a PR for any reason.
### Todo / planned features
Here is a *(surely incomplete)* list of things that i want to include in future versions. *(They are not in any specific order. There is no guarantee that any of those things will ever be included.)*

- localization config
- a fix for issue #13
- add /bluemap help

- ability to change a players display names
- smooth lighting (if feasible)
- render entities (armor-stands, item-frames, maybe even cows and such..)
