JourneyMap Server Hosting

JourneyMap is the most comprehensive mapping mod ever created for Minecraft, with over 308 million downloads making it the gold standard for navigation. When you host a server with JourneyMap support, you're providing players with professional-grade mapping tools that enhance exploration, collaboration, and world navigation.

Why Host a Server with JourneyMap?

Navigation in vanilla Minecraft requires memorizing coordinates or building trail markers. JourneyMap transforms this completely with real-time mapping, waypoints, and even a web-based map viewable from any browser. For multiplayer servers, this means better coordination, easier meetups, and enhanced community features.

Server Requirements for JourneyMap

JourneyMap is primarily client-side, so basic functionality requires minimal server resources. We recommend 4GB RAM for standard use. However, enabling the server-side webmap feature requires additional resources - plan for 6-8GB RAM if you want players to access maps through their browsers.

Real-Time Mapping

As players explore, JourneyMap automatically generates detailed maps showing terrain, structures, and points of interest. The mapping happens in real-time, revealing the world as it's discovered. Multiple display modes show surface terrain, cave systems, or both simultaneously.

Waypoint System

Players can create unlimited waypoints to mark important locations. Waypoints display both on the map and as beacons in the game world, making navigation intuitive. Share waypoint coordinates with friends or keep personal locations private.

Minimap and Fullscreen Views

The customizable minimap sits unobtrusively on screen, showing nearby terrain and creatures. Press a key to open the fullscreen map for detailed exploration planning. Both views support zooming, rotation, and various display modes.

Web Map Integration

The powerful webmap feature lets players view the server's explored areas through any web browser. Server admins can configure what's visible, control who can access the map, and even set up public maps for server promotion.

Mob and Entity Radar

JourneyMap can display nearby mobs, helping players avoid danger or locate specific creatures. Server admins can configure whether hostile mobs, passive mobs, or players appear on maps, balancing convenience with gameplay challenge.

Essential for Multiplayer Coordination

JourneyMap excels on multiplayer servers where coordination matters. Raid parties can share waypoints, builders can mark project areas, and communities can create shared points of interest that help new players navigate.
