Mine View Tool is a free web viewer for navigating Minecraft worlds in 2D and 3D. Users can upload a .mcworld file, a .zip Java world, or files from a Bedrock world’s db folder, then inspect the surface, caves, or underwater landscape. Resource selection can highlight locations such as Diamond Ore or Ancient Debris. Navigation supports rotation, panning, zooming, arrow-key movement, and clicking the map to jump to a location. If the uploaded files contain them, the viewer can display the Nether and the End. Uploads are limited to 200 MB. The home page says uploaded files are stored for no more than 24 hours; the privacy policy describes storage on a server reached through a unique random ID, periodic deletion, and no transfer to third parties. The provider says it uses commercially acceptable protection measures but cannot guarantee absolute security.
