Lodeway puts a live, Google-Maps-style map of your server on the web at your-name.lodeway.app or your own domain! Install the plugin, run one command, share the link. No port to open, no config to edit, no rendering killing your TPS.
MCTraveler, a 15 year old server couldn't be a better demo: map.mctraveler.eu
It's hard to believe, but Lodeway uses effectively zero CPU, RAM or storage. You won't even notice it there, we do all the hardwork on our side!
Your server only streams region files out. We decode, render, and serve the map on our side.
Lodeway is a hosted service with a free plan and a paid plan. The free plan is the whole product for one overworld, with no distance limit, no account and no card. Premium is $5 a month per server, and the picture below is the complete list of what it adds:
BlueMap, Dynmap, and squaremap are free, open source, actively maintained, and self-hosted. We think Lodeway offers a better player and admin experience, but they are excellent options too:
Does this work on shared hosting, or hosts with no extra ports? Yes! The plugin only opens outbound connections. There is no web port to forward, no reverse proxy, and no tile directory filling your disk quota.
Do my players need to install anything? No. The map is a website. Players open the link in any browser, on any device.
Is the free plan really free? Yes. It has no account, no card, no trial period and no distance limit. Premium ($5 a month per server) adds the other dimensions, a custom domain, your resource pack's textures and the option to remove the Lodeway mark.
