squaremap is a free Minecraft server plugin or mod that generates a live world map for viewing in a web browser. Its vanilla-like top-down 2D view is designed for navigation and supports live updates, dimension maps, and markers or waypoints. Player markers can show yaw rotation, health, and armor. The project lists Paper, Fabric, NeoForge, and Sponge as supported platforms, with Fabric API also required for Fabric. squaremap includes an internal web server enabled by default on port 8080. Server hosts may restrict available ports, so the installation guidance recommends checking with the host; for advanced hosting such as SSL certificates, the documentation recommends an external web server. Integrations include ChunkyBorder, Heatmap, PlotSquared, Residence, and Towny, plus add-ons for banners, claims, death spots, mobs, signs, skins, vanish, and WorldGuard. Developers can use the API to draw markers, shapes, and icons on maps. Downloads are directed to Modrinth, with development builds available through a Jenkins job. squaremap is licensed under MIT; its Leaflet web interface uses the 2-clause BSD License.
