BlueMap creates 3D maps of Minecraft worlds and displays them in a browser-based viewer.
About BlueMap
BlueMap reads Minecraft world files and generates a map plus 3D models of the whole surface. The output can be viewed in a web app in a browser, either close up or from a distance for an overview.
It is available as a Spigot/Paper or Sponge plugin, as a Fabric or Forge mod, and as a standalone command-line tool without a server. When installed as a plugin or mod, it renders asynchronously from the server thread, though the source notes this assumes the CPU is not fully utilized.
