Map Controls

Moving around

Action Control
Pan Left-drag on the map
Zoom Mouse wheel (six zoom levels)
Jump to your position Center button
Jump to coordinates Type in Go to X, Z, then press Go or Enter
Measure distance Shift + left-drag
More options Right-click the map, a structure icon or a search result

The Go to field accepts 100 -250, 100, -250, x=100 z=-250, or three numbers such as 100 64 -250 (the Y value is ignored), so you can paste coordinates straight from chat or F3.

Hover over the map to see the biome name and coordinates. The status line shows the X and Z under the cursor and the current zoom.

Dimensions and modes

  • Switch between Overworld, Nether and End.
  • Switch the view between Structures and Biomes.

Structure grid

The grid of icons controls which structure types are drawn on the map.

  • Left-click an icon to show or hide that type.
  • Right-click an icon to make it the search target.
  • All and None show or hide every type. Type in the filter box to narrow the list.

When many icons overlap at low zoom they are grouped into clusters with a count badge. Click a cluster to zoom in.

Map markers

  • Your position, shown as an arrow. With Facing on, lines show which way you are looking.
  • The world spawn point.
  • The current waypoint, shown as a red cross.

Toggles

Toggle What it does
Biome Y Height at which biomes are sampled. Lower values reveal cave biomes such as lush caves, dripstone caves and deep dark.

Copy and export

  • Copy puts the coordinates of your waypoint on the clipboard, or the map center if no waypoint is set.
  • Export saves the visible map as a PNG in seedscout/exports inside your game folder.

Loading

Tiles render in the background. They appear blurry first and then sharpen. Tiles you have already seen are saved on disk, so seeds you have opened before load almost instantly. See Configuration for the cache.
