Overviewer is an unmaintained open-source command-line tool used to render the world map on https://world.retromc.org/overviewer.
Coded in C and Python, it reads the selected Minecraft save before rendering it.
Pull requests on its GitHub repository are no longer addressed.
On RetroMC, a modified version is used to render a map of the overworld and is compatible with JVillage.
It replaces the outdated 2D Dynmap plugin previously used on the server in September 2018.
