Bedrock Viz vs BedrockMap

Bedrock Viz parses Minecraft Bedrock Edition world files to create overview images and reports, and it can generate a browser-based viewer for exploring a world. The viewer covers Overworld and Nether layers, biomes, mobs and items, spawnable blocks, chunk boundaries, elevation shading, and distance measurement. It can browse 256 layers from bedrock to the build limit. Image outputs include world layers, biomes, block light, block height, and grass color; movie output is available for world layers and requires ffmpeg. The software is free and listed for Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. The README provides a Windows 10 download, supports macOS 10.15 and later through Homebrew, and directs Linux users to compile the source. Generated maps can be served locally with Docker and NGINX, or viewed offline. Running the program can change world files, so work from a backup. Locally opened viewers may lose some features because of browser restrictions, and slime chunk finding may be unreliable.

BedrockMap turns Minecraft Bedrock and Java world files into interactive web maps. It accepts Bedrock.mcworld and Java Edition.zip files up to 20GB, then maps the Overworld, Nether, and End for switching between dimensions. The viewer supports panning, zooming, touch gestures, coordinates, and customization of block colors, render size, zoom scale, grid display, thumbnails, and marker styles. Premium Timelines preserve earlier renders as versions to revisit and compare. Premium Auto-Sync can retrieve server backups over SFTP, FTP, or FTPS, or receive API Push uploads from a server script. Premium addons or plugins can add live player tracking and marker creation for Bedrock and Java servers. The free plan allows one world upload and two renders per day, with a limited render area and public sharing links. Premium is listed at $4 a month; the pricing note also says paid plans start at $5/mo. Private maps are restricted to the owner and authorized users, and uploaded world data is not shared with third parties. BedrockMap says it is not an official Minecraft product or associated with Mojang.
