Pl3xMap
What it is
Pl3xMap is a free world map viewer for Minecraft servers that presents the game world in its vanilla rendering style. Its top-down 2D view is designed for navigation, with live updates, dimension maps, and player markers or waypoints. Markers can display player rotation, health, and armor. Built-in render types include basic, night, biomes, inhabited, and flowermap views, and the browser interface uses Leaflet. The project lists CraftBukkit, Spigot, Paper, Purpur, and Fabric; Fabric requires Fabric API. Additional compatibility listings name Bukkit, Folia, Forge, and Quilt. Pl3xMap installs as a jar in a server's plugins or mods directory and includes an internal web server that defaults to port 8080. Some server hosts restrict ports, so setup may depend on which ports are available. Integrations can hide vanished players, show world borders, or display public homes and warps. Addons can add claim areas, banners, signs, loaded mobs, and player death spots. An API is available for plugin and addon developers, and the project directs users to Discord for help.
