Pl3xMap is a free world map viewer for Minecraft servers, using the game's vanilla rendering style. It presents a top-down 2D map for navigation, with live updates, dimension maps, and markers or waypoints. Player markers can show yaw, health, and armor. Built-in map render types include basic, night, biomes, inhabited, and flowermap, and the browser interface uses Leaflet. The project lists CraftBukkit, Spigot, Paper, Purpur, and Fabric; Fabric requires Fabric API. Additional compatibility listings name Bukkit, Folia, Forge, and Quilt. Pl3xMap installs as a jar in a server's plugins or mods directory and includes an internal web server that defaults to port 8080. Some server hosts restrict ports, so available ports may affect setup. Integrations can hide vanished players, show world borders, and display public homes and warps. Addons can add claim areas, banners, signs, loaded mobs, and player death spots, though support for listed addons is not guaranteed. The project provides an API for plugin and addon developers and directs users to Discord for help. It is MIT licensed.
