The Minecraft Overviewer
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
The Minecraft Overviewer is a command-line tool for rendering high-resolution
|
|
maps of Minecraft worlds. It generates a set of static html and image files and
|
|
uses the Google Maps API to display a nice interactive map.
|
|
|
|
The Overviewer has been in active development for over a year and has many
|
|
features, including day and night lighting, cave rendering, mineral overlays,
|
|
and many plugins for even more features! It is written mostly in Python with
|
|
critical sections in C as an extension module.
|
|
|
|
For a simple example of what your renders will look like, head over to `The
|
|
"Exmaple" Map <http://overviewer.org/example/>`_. For more user-contributed
|
|
examples, see `The Example Wiki Page <https://github.com/overviewer/Minecraft-Overviewer/wiki/Map-examples>`_.

|
========
|
|
|
|
The Overviewer works with Linux, Mac, and Windows! We provide Windows and Debian
|
|
built executables for your convenience. Find them as well as the full sources on
|
|
our `Github Homepage`_.
|
|
|
|
**If you are running Windows, Debian, or Ubuntu and would like the pre-built
|
|
packages and don't want to have to compile anything yourself**, head to the
|
|
:doc:`installing` page.
|
|
|
|
**If you would like to build the Overviewer from source yourself (it's not that
|
|
bad)**, head to the :doc:`Building <building>` page.
