Mapcrafter¶
Welcome¶
Mapcrafter is a high performance Minecraft map renderer written in C++. It renders Minecraft worlds to a bunch of images which are viewable like a Google Map in any webbrowser using Leaflet.js.
It runs on Linux and other Unix-like operating systems like Mac OS. There is also an experimental build for Windows (see Windows). The renderer works with the Anvil world format and the Minecraft 1.6 resource packs.
Mapcrafter is free software and available under the GPL license. You can access the latest source code of Mapcrafter on GitHub: https://github.com/m0r13/mapcrafter
There are a few example maps of the renderer on the GitHub Wiki. Please feel free to add your own map to this list.
