hube12 / Minemap

To download it head to the Releases section.

To run it: either double click it on it if you have the Java Runtime (JRE) or use the command line (shift+right click in the folder then open command prompt/Powershell) and type java -jar MineMap-X.X.X.jar.

This is a program to replace the old amidst with a non Minecraft based one (meaning you can run it without Minecraft installed), it is also way more efficient since it is fully multithreaded.

There are severals nice features added, you can see per layers of biome generation, find closest structures, draw circle, area and use a ruler.

Supports all Minecraft release starting from 1.0+

Support and bugs

• This project is still in its enfancy (while packing most of the necessary features) so bug will likely still happen inside it.

• However, as it is actively maintained you can get a hold of me on Discord or by simply submitting a bug report in the Issues tab.

• We also have a roadmap of future ideas here and you are welcome to open a discussion here or on Discord to ask for any feature that you deem reasonable enough (be aware for performance issues some might be denied).

Known issues

• Linux gpu performance-> this is due to java not providing a gpu backend on some distros and using cpu rendering instead (you can try tweaking wayland, adding proprietary drivers or enabling sun opengl backend)

• Weird artefacts appears on windows -> you are using Riva Tuner or MSI Afterburner which tampers with java swing. You should disable them or add an exception for all java.exe apps or Minemap-*.exe.

• Minemap fails to start, maybe some config was not correctly written, go to $HOME/.minemap or %HOMEPATH%/.minemap and delete the config folder.

• Minemap fails to update, maybe you are ratelimited by Github, please try later.

Development

You just need to have the Java JDK installed then do: git clone https://github.com/hube12/MineMap

Go in the directory and run ./gradlew run to run Minemap (we enable the no-update option)

Run ./gradlew shadowJar to generate the release jar (modify gradle.properties version variable accordingly)

Run ./gradlew release to generate the .exe and the .jar.

To use vulkan with debug and validation layers please install the vulkan Lunar SDK.
