MineyMap Guides

Basics

Learn how to use the minimap, main map, and second-screen view.

Minimap, Main Map, and Second Screens

Use the in-game minimap for quick orientation or open the large map with the default hotkey CTRL+Z for a wider view. When MineyMap detects a second monitor, it automatically opens a dedicated second-screen window with a large map, so your main screen can stay focused on Minecraft.

Zoom Controls for Each Map View

Scroll the mouse wheel to zoom the main map. Use CTRL+= and CTRL+- to zoom the minimap. On a second screen, use ALT+= and ALT+- to zoom in and out.

Follow Your Position or Roam the Map

The main map centers on the player's current position and follows movement automatically. If you move the map away from the player, it enters "roaming mode" and stops following so you can explore another area. Click Re-center to return to the player and resume automatic following. The minimap, on the other hand, always follows the player and does not have a roaming mode; you can only change its zoom using the minimap hotkeys.

Useful Answers

Questions, Answered

What is the difference between the minimap and the main map?

The minimap stays over your game for quick orientation and can be shown or hidden with CTRL+M by default. The main map provides a wider world view and opens with CTRL+Z by default.

Can MineyMap be used on a second screen?

Yes. When MineyMap detects a second monitor, it automatically opens a dedicated second-screen window with a large map. You can still open and use the in-game main map with CTRL+Z as usual. Use ALT+= and ALT+- to adjust the second-screen map's zoom.

Does the map automatically follow my position?

Yes. The main map follows and centers on the player until you move the map away, which enters roaming mode. Click Re-center to return to the player's position and resume following. The minimap always follows the player and does not have a roaming mode.
