BlueMap

BlueMap is a revolutionary Minecraft mapping tool that generates beautiful 3D models of your entire world, viewable through any web browser. Unlike traditional top-down maps, BlueMap renders your builds in full 3D glory, allowing players to explore your server's world from any angle without even being online.

Why Host BlueMap on Your Server?

When you add BlueMap to your Minecraft server, you're giving players an incredible way to showcase their builds, plan new projects, and navigate your world. The 3D rendering makes every structure look spectacular, from simple houses to massive castles. Players can zoom, rotate, and explore the map just like they would in-game.

How BlueMap Works

BlueMap reads your Minecraft world files and generates 3D models of everything - terrain, structures, lighting, and even custom blocks from mods. The rendering happens asynchronously in the background, so your server's TPS remains unaffected. Once rendered, maps are served through a built-in web server that players can access from any device.

Server Requirements for BlueMap

BlueMap requires decent CPU resources during initial rendering but is lightweight once complete. We recommend at least 4GB RAM with 2GB dedicated to BlueMap during rendering. Storage needs vary by world size - expect 500MB-2GB per world for rendered tiles. Our NVMe storage ensures fast tile loading for smooth map navigation.

Real-Time Updates

BlueMap can update map sections in real-time as players modify the world. Build a new tower? It appears on the map within minutes. This keeps your web map always current without manual re-renders.

Perfect for Communities

Server communities love BlueMap for documenting builds, creating virtual tours, and attracting new players. Embed your map on your website to showcase your server's best creations. The professional 3D view makes any server look impressive.

Multi-World Support

BlueMap handles multiple worlds seamlessly - overworld, nether, end, and any custom dimensions. Each world gets its own map layer that players can switch between in the viewer.

Mod Support

BlueMap supports many modded blocks through resource pack integration. Popular mods like Create, Chisel, and building-focused mods render correctly, making it perfect for modded servers.
