BlueMap is a tool that generates 3d-maps of your Minecraft worlds and displays them in your browser. Take a look at this demo. 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.

Contributing

You are welcome to contribute! Just create a pull request with your changes :)

If you want to have your changes merged, make sure they are complete, documented and well tested!

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.)

  • rewrite web-app
    • free-flight-controls
    • localization config
    • a fix for issue #13
  • add /bluemap help
  • render more tile-entities (banners, shulker-chests, etc..)
  • update markers (semi) live (currently if they change, e.g. via plugin, you have to reload the page to see the changes)
  • ability to display the world-border
  • live daylight cycle
  • ability to change a players display names
  • smooth lighting (if feasible)
  • render entities (armor-stands, item-frames, maybe even cows and such..)
  • 3th zoom-layer to be able to zoom out even further
  • animated textures (if feasible)
