Summary

squaremap is a free Minecraft server plugin or mod that creates a live map people can view in a web browser. Its top-down 2D map has a vanilla-like style intended to help with navigation, and it supports live updates, dimension maps, and markers or waypoints. Player markers can show yaw rotation, health, and armor. The project lists Paper, Fabric, NeoForge, and Sponge as supported platforms; Fabric also requires Fabric API. It includes an internal web server enabled by default on port 8080, though server hosts may restrict which ports are available. For more advanced setups, such as those using SSL certificates, the documentation recommends an external web server. Integrations include ChunkyBorder, Heatmap, PlotSquared, Residence, and Towny, plus add-on plugins for banners, claims, death spots, mobs, signs, skins, vanish, and WorldGuard. Developers can use the API to draw markers, shapes, and icons on maps. squaremap is licensed under MIT, and its Leaflet web interface uses the 2-clause BSD License.
