Explore Terrain in 3d

In supported Java singleplayer worlds, the 3D view turns explored terrain into a model you can rotate, zoom, and inspect from the surface down to bedrock. MineyMap can only display blocks Minecraft generated while you were nearby in game, based on the game's render distance. On the map, highlighted areas are available to view in 3D, darkened areas are unavailable, and purple areas are still being checked.

  • Click a block on the 3D model to move the view directly to that location.
  • Use Default Y to reset the vertical view to the surface.
  • Use Player to return to the player's current position.

Switch Between Dimensions

MineyMap automatically follows you when you enter another dimension. You can also use the dimension button to switch manually between the Overworld and Nether. To view the End map, enter the End in game.

  • Java maps support the Overworld, Nether, and End.
  • Bedrock maps currently support the Overworld only.

Plan Nether Portals with the Ghost Marker

On Java, a faded ghost marker shows the corresponding location in the other dimension. While you are in the Nether, it shows where that position lines up in the Overworld, and vice versa. MineyMap accounts for the 1:8 distance relationship, helping you choose where to build a portal based on where it should lead on the other side.

Useful Answers

Questions, Answered

Which worlds support MineyMap's 3D view?

The 3D view currently supports Java Edition singleplayer worlds. It is not currently available for Java multiplayer or Bedrock worlds.

Why are some areas unavailable in the 3D view?

MineyMap can only create a 3D view for blocks Minecraft has generated while you were nearby in game. Areas outside the distance you have explored do not have the required block data yet, so they remain unavailable until you explore them.

Which dimensions can MineyMap display?

Java maps support the Overworld, Nether, and End. Bedrock maps currently support the Overworld only.

What does the ghost marker show?

On Java, the ghost marker shows the corresponding position in the other dimension. It accounts for the Nether's 1:8 distance relationship so you can better plan where portals should connect.
