What Pl3xMap is
Pl3xMap is a free world map viewer for Minecraft servers, using the game’s vanilla rendering style. Its top-down 2D map is designed for navigation and supports live updates and dimension maps. Player markers can show yaw rotation, health, and armor, while built-in render types include basic, night, biomes, inhabited, and flowermap. The browser front end uses Leaflet. The README lists CraftBukkit, Spigot, Paper, Purpur, and Fabric support; 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 uses port 8080 by default. Some server hosts restrict ports, so setup can depend on available ports. Integrations and addons can add map details such as world borders, public homes, 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.
