JourneyMap renders your Minecraft world into a live map as you explore, with two primary views: a minimap in the corner of your screen while you play, and a full-screen map you can open with a keybind. Both update in real time, tracking mobs, players, and terrain as they come into range. A third view streams the same map data to a local web page accessible in any browser on your network, useful when you want a large reference without leaving the game.
What JourneyMap Adds In-Game
The minimap shows your position, heading, and nearby entities in a configurable corner overlay. The full-screen map separates surface, cave, Nether, and End layers and lets you zoom, pan, and drop custom waypoints anywhere. Waypoints can be shared with other players and, in creative or when a server permits it, used as teleport destinations. The browser map uses a localhost port so anyone on your local network can follow your map on a second screen without opening the game.
How to Install JourneyMap

- 2.Go to the JourneyMap page on Modrinth and select the version that matches your loader and Minecraft version.
- 3.Download the .jar file and place it in your .minecraft/mods folder.
- 4.Launch Minecraft with your mod loader profile. JourneyMap starts mapping automatically when you enter a world.
Loader and Version Compatibility
JourneyMap maintains separate releases for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt. Coverage for Minecraft 1.20.1 through 1.21.x is actively maintained; 1.21.11 is the current leading build. Archived releases stretch back to 1.7.10, but older builds are no longer maintained. Check the Modrinth version list to confirm a release exists for your specific loader and game version before downloading.
Client-Only or Both Sides?
JourneyMap works on the client without any server-side install, so it runs on any server that accepts standard Minecraft clients. Installing it on the server is optional: when present, the server-side component enables map-sharing features that broadcast explored terrain to connected clients. Servers running Paper can use the dedicated Paper build included in the Modrinth version list.
