Features
BlueMap 3D Map
An interactive 3D web map of your world, served through MCSM
The Map tab embeds a full BlueMap — an interactive 3D render of your world you can fly through in the browser.
Enable the map
Toggle the map on and MCSM installs the right BlueMap build for your server's loader from Modrinth. Mojang requires a one-time consent to download game assets for rendering — that's one click in the Map tab.
Works on Paper, Fabric, Forge and CurseForge modpack servers (Minecraft 1.13.2+).
View and share it
The map is served through MCSM's own domain at /map/<server>/:
- No extra ports, proxies or DNS — map traffic rides on the dashboard's existing domain and TLS certificate.
- Private by default — only logged-in users can view it.
- Publish — flip the map to public and share the URL with your players; published maps stay reachable without a dashboard login.
How rendering works
BlueMap runs inside the server container and renders the world continuously as it changes. MCSM proxies the map UI and tile requests over the internal Docker network.
Map tiles are served through the MCSM process — perfectly fine for personal
and community use, but very heavy public maps would benefit from dedicated
routing.
Next steps
- Pre-generate your world first with World Pre-generation so the map has something to show.
