| Fact | BedrockMap | The Explorer's Friend |
|---|---|---|
| Notable limitation | The Bedrock Premium addon requires a Bedrock Dedicated Server and does not work on Minecraft Realms or single-player worlds. | Forge is not shipped, and the documentation says Paper/Bukkit 26.x uses default biome tints because Minecraft 26.x removed world-generation JSONs from the server and client JARs. |
| Purpose | BedrockMap lets users upload Minecraft Bedrock and Java world files and generate interactive web-based maps. | The Explorer's Friend is a server-side Minecraft world mapper that renders a live topographic map and serves it through an embedded web server. |
