BlueMap is a Java-based tool that reads Minecraft world files and generates 3D models of the world surface, viewable in a browser via a built-in web app. It ships as a Spigot/Paper or Sponge plugin, a Fabric or Forge mod, a standalone CLI tool, and a Docker image, rendering asynchronously so it doesn't block the game server thread.

Use cases

• create a 3D map of my minecraft world viewable in a browser
• show a live web map of my minecraft server to players
• render minecraft worlds as 3d models
• view my minecraft world from outside the game
• host a web map for a bungeecord or velocity server network
• generate static map renders of minecraft worlds from the command line

When to choose

• you run a Minecraft Java Edition server (Spigot/Paper, Sponge, Fabric, or Forge) and want a browser-viewable 3D map
• you want live map updates as the world changes without blocking your server thread
• you need to combine maps from multiple servers in a network into one web app
• you want to render maps offline/standalone without a running game server

When to avoid

• you play Minecraft Bedrock Edition - BlueMap only supports Java Edition worlds
• you need a 2D flat map only with no 3D rendering
• you cannot open an additional port or host a webserver alongside your game server
