Minecraft plugin Pl3xMap

🔌 About Pl3xMap

Pl3xMap — is a lightweight Minecraft plugin that provides a vanilla‑style, top‑down web map viewer for Minecraft servers. Pl3xMap focuses on extremely fast map rendering, simple 2D navigation and player markers, making it suitable as a minimal, high‑performance alternative to heavier map plugins.

🎯 Purpose

Pl3xMap solves the need for a fast, easy‑to‑host world map for a Minecraft server (minecraft plugin, paper plugin, spigot plugin). It reduces render time compared with 3D or tile‑heavy renderers and provides a straightforward web UI for players and staff. Pl3xMap is intended for servers that want a performant, vanilla‑looking map without heavy resource usage. ()

⚙ Main features

• Ultra‑fast render times and incremental rendering. ()
• Simple vanilla‑like top‑down 2D view designed for navigation. ()
• Player markers showing yaw (facing), health and armor.
• Multiple built‑in render types (basic, night, biomes, inhabited, flowermap).
• Leaflet‑based modern front‑end for browser use.
• Robust API / addons system for integrations with other plugins. ()

🧩 Who it's for

Pl3xMap is suitable for administrators of Paper/Spigot/Purpur servers and for servers using Fabric (Fabric requires Fabric API). It fits survival servers, small‑to‑medium communities, and anyone who needs low‑overhead world visualization for their minecraft server (paper plugin / spigot plugin). ()

🏗 Examples of use

• Host a public web map showing player locations and builds with minimal server overhead.
• Use the map for navigation and community‑showcase pages.
• Integrate Pl3xMap with server plugins (via its API) to display regions, claims or shops.
