Overviewer is a command-line tool used to render the world map on an external website. It is coded in C and Python and reads the selected Minecraft save before rendering it. Overview is open-source but is now unmaintained, and pull requests on GitHub are no longer addressed. On RetroMC, it is used to render a world map of the overworld and is compatible with JVillage. It replaced the outdated 2D Dynmap in September 2018.

Notable features

Features include:

  • Searching for text in signs in Markers -> signpost.png All
  • Looking up-claimed areas
  • Eating too much CPU and disk space

Known issues

Overviewer has many known issues that are being worked on by the RetroMC development team and should be fixed (hopefully soonTM).
