squaremap

squaremap takes the philosophy of "do one thing well" to heart. It renders clean, top-down 2D maps with exceptional speed and minimal overhead. For servers that want a simple, fast web map without bells and whistles, squaremap is the optimal choice.

Why squaremap?

When you need the fastest possible map rendering with the lowest possible resource usage, squaremap delivers. It strips away complexity to focus purely on showing your world efficiently. The result is a plugin that just works, quickly and reliably.

Extreme Performance

squaremap benchmarks faster than any other mapping solution in render speed. Initial world renders complete remarkably quickly, and incremental updates are nearly instantaneous. Servers with limited resources or strict TPS requirements benefit most.

Clean, Modern Interface

The web viewer is minimalist but polished. A Leaflet-based interface provides smooth zooming and panning with a clean aesthetic. No clutter, no confusion - just your world displayed beautifully.

Tiny Footprint

Memory usage is minimal, CPU impact is negligible, and storage requirements are the lowest of any mapping plugin. squaremap proves that effective tools don't need to be resource hogs.

Server Requirements

squaremap runs happily with just 2-3GB RAM allocated to your server. Storage needs are minimal - even large worlds require only hundreds of megabytes. Perfect for budget-conscious server hosts.

Paper Optimized

Built specifically for Paper and its forks, squaremap leverages Paper's performance optimizations fully. The tight integration results in better performance than platform-agnostic alternatives.

Essential Features Only

Player markers, basic custom markers, and multi-world support cover the features most servers actually need. No bloat from features you'll never use.

Easy Setup

Configuration is straightforward with sensible defaults. Most servers need minimal adjustment to get a great-looking map running. The documentation is clear and the community helpful.
