BedrockMap

Overview

BedrockMap turns uploaded Minecraft Bedrock and Java worlds into interactive 2D maps on the web. It best suits players and server operators who want a customizable map without setting up a mapping tool themselves. Its free tier is useful for occasional renders, while ongoing server features require Premium.

It accepts Bedrock .mcworld and Java Edition .zip worlds up to 20GB, and maps the Overworld, Nether, and End as switchable dimensions. The viewer provides panning, zooming, touch gestures, coordinates, and dimension switching; block colors, render size, zoom scale, grid display, thumbnails, and marker styles are customizable. BedrockMap says uploaded world data is not shared with third parties, and private maps are limited to the owner and authorized users. It is not an official Minecraft product and is not approved by or associated with Mojang.

Key features

Flexible map rendering

The three-dimension coverage and broad display controls make the service useful for exploring a world as well as presenting it to others. Free maps can be shared by public link, but that plan offers no private maps and renders without shadows. Premium adds private maps, HD quality with shadows, and unlimited markers, making it the stronger fit for a polished or restricted-access map.

Server tools and version history

Premium Timelines preserve earlier renders as versions users can revisit and compare. Auto-Sync can fetch server backups over SFTP, FTP, or FTPS, or accept API Push uploads from a server script. Premium addons or plugins add live player tracking and marker creation for Bedrock and Java servers; Java setup guides cover Paper, Spigot, and Fabric.

Credential handling has concrete safeguards: Auto-Sync passwords are encrypted with AES-256-GCM, API Push keys remain on the user's server while BedrockMap stores a hash, and setup tokens expire after 15 minutes and can be used once. Bedrock server operators should note the addon constraint: it requires a Bedrock Dedicated Server and does not work with Minecraft Realms or single-player worlds.

Pricing

The Free plan costs $0/forever. It allows one world upload, a 1,500x1,500-block render area, two renders per day, three zoom levels, public sharing links, standard quality without shadows, normal render queue priority, and BedrockMap branding. Those caps suit occasional mapping, but the small upload count and render area can be restrictive for larger collections or frequent updates.

Premium is billed monthly at $4/month, with the stated $5/month price marked Save 20%. It raises the allowance to 10 world uploads, a 30,000x30,000-block render area, 20 renders per day, and up to seven zoom levels. It also includes unlimited markers, HD quality with shadows, live player tracking, private maps, high-priority rendering, file retention, and no branding. The upgrade is most compelling for server operators or users who need larger, recurring renders, privacy, or live features; for simple public map sharing, the free plan avoids a recurring charge.

Premium can be canceled anytime, and access continues through the current billing period. A 7-day trial is offered. The pricing note also says paid plans start at $5/mo, while the Premium plan price is shown as $4/month with a $5/month comparison price and 20% savings.

Platforms

BedrockMap lists Android, iOS, Linux, web, and Windows support. Its maps are web-based, with touch gestures included in the viewer controls.

Who it's for

Choose BedrockMap for a browser-viewable map of a Bedrock or Java world, especially if you value dimension switching and adjustable presentation. Premium is better suited to server administrators who want automated backup imports, live player locations, private maps, or retained render versions. It is a weaker fit for Bedrock Realms or single-player users seeking the Premium addon, since that integration is limited to Bedrock Dedicated Server.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Supports Bedrock and Java uploads up to 20GB and maps all three dimensions, giving users a broad view of a world.
• Pros: Auto-Sync supports three transfer protocols plus API Push, offering server operators more than one route to update maps.
• Pros: Private maps and stated protections for uploaded data and sync credentials are useful for server owners handling non-public worlds.
• Cons: The free plan limits users to one upload, two renders a day, a 1,500x1,500-block area, and three zoom levels, so frequent or expansive mapping pushes toward Premium.
• Cons: Bedrock live-server integration excludes Realms and single-player worlds because it requires a Bedrock Dedicated Server.
• Cons: Free renders lack shadows, use normal queue priority, and carry BedrockMap branding.

Alternatives

For a broader set of options, see Minecraft World Map Viewers. The Explorer's Friend is a free, MIT-licensed server-side Minecraft map mod or plugin for readers who prefer that model. Mapcrafter is free and GPL-licensed, but requires Anvil world format and Minecraft 1.6 resource packs. Pl3xMap is a free, MIT-licensed option downloadable from Modrinth. uNmINeD is free for personal use. BlueMap is free and supports Java Edition worlds only, with Java 25+ required for server plugin or mod use and Java 21+ for its standalone CLI. Dynmap is another free option. Worldlens is free. Bedrock Viz is free and supports web, Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Verdict

BedrockMap is a sound choice for players and server operators who want customizable, shareable maps across Bedrock and Java dimensions, with a clear upgrade path to automation and live server features. Its free caps make it better for occasional use than sustained mapping, and Bedrock server tracking is not suitable for Realms or single-player worlds. Look elsewhere if those constraints outweigh the convenience of its web-based map workflow.
