MCMap Live

NewImage

NewImage

MCMap Live is a Minecraft mapper, like Cartograph for Mac OS X. It is a wrapper for mcmap, Zahl’s fantastic and fast isometric Minecraft map renderer. What makes MCMap Live special is that it renders maps in pieces and lets you view them right away in an intuitive, minimalist interface. You can scroll and zoom all around your world and as quick as mcmap can render the chunks, you will see them. Instant gratification! 

The other thing that makes MCMap Live special is that it’s written in Objective-C just for Mac OS X, so unlike so many Windows-only tools, this one is Mac-only! Sorry users of other platforms, but I chose the APIs for this project because I wanted to learn them.
