What Minutor is
Minutor is a free, open-source mapping tool for Minecraft on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It creates two-dimensional maps that can be viewed offline, including maps for different dimensions, with markers and waypoints. Rendering controls include lighting, hostile-mob spawning, cave mode, depth shading, biome colors, sea-ground mode, and single-layer rendering. Entity overlays mark positions and types, while overlay modes identify Mob Spawners, Slime Chunks, and Inhabited Time. Searches cover entities, blocks, and patterns; block results can show distribution by depth and export as CSV, while map images export as PNG. The Pack Builder lets users add blocks, set colors, and change names, with starter packs for Direwolf 20, Mindcrack, and Ultimate Feed The Beast. Version 26.3 supports Minecraft 26.3’s new chunk storage format and offers cursor- or center-following zoom. Source code is public on GitHub under the BSD-2-Clause license.
