In their own words
Chunkmap
Chunkmap generates top-down 2D maps of Minecraft worlds from region (.mca) files. Its web viewer lets users upload their own region files, and it covers the Overworld, Nether, and End. The Windows CLI can render individual region files or combine rendered images into a single map. Its rendering modes include textures, heightmap, biomes, temperature, downfall, and inhabited views. The CLI is open source under the MIT license on GitHub, and the product is free. Chunkmap supports offline viewing and links to a Discord community. The project is labeled beta and under development, so it may not work as expected. The beta has only been tested with Minecraft 1.21.x worlds; modded worlds and chunks generated before 1.18 are unsupported. The project README also notes that Nether generation is slower than generation for the Overworld and End. The web version is for uploading and viewing region files, while the CLI provides rendering and map-merging options.
