In their own words
MCA Saenk
MCA Saenk is a Windows top-down rendering mapper for Minecraft that produces screenshots and can export them as in-game maps. It renders 3D shading from multiple angles and can reproduce the look of in-game maps when settings are calibrated. Styles include default, Java map, Bedrock map, and betaplus, with custom styles possible from resource packs and mods. The tool handles semi-transparent blocks, filtering, and custom blocks, biomes, and dimensions from mods and datapacks. More than 30 settings cover contrast, lighting, shading, colormaps, biome blending, and water translucency, with many adjustments using hardware acceleration. A virtual screenshot window can be dragged and scaled before capture. Official Java releases from 1.2.1 through 26.2 are supported, while Fabric and Forge modded-world support is an aim. OpenGL rendering requires version 4.0 and falls back to legacy rendering when unavailable.
