CrowMap
by diena1dev
CrowMap embeds a browser inside Minecraft 1.21.11 so players can view an in-world web map, such as a Dynmap page, without leaving the game.
What it does
Players get a full-screen browser that loads a web map address set in the config, which points at the Horizon's End Dynmap by default. Browser output can also be drawn as a flat panel anchored at a set position in the world, which faces a chosen direction and moves automatically to a nearby anchor sign when one is found, or as a small minimap in a configurable screen corner, with its size and margin set in the config.
It requires Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, and the libraries it relies on, owo-lib and MCEF, are embedded in the mod jar, so they need no separate install. Files were first published on 2026-04-14 and the latest build, 0.3, was updated on 2026-08-02. The code is available on GitHub, and the license is a custom one, so the project is not open source.
Key features
In-game browser screen
A full-screen browser shows a configurable web map, with a right-click menu for jumping to coordinates under the cursor.
World-anchored panel
The browser texture can be shown as a flat panel in the world, repositioned to a nearby anchor sign when one exists.
Corner minimap
The same browser texture can be drawn as a small minimap in a chosen screen corner, with size and margin set in the config.
Local map server
When enabled, the mod fetches LiveAtlas, a local Dynmap host, and serves it on a random loopback port. The feature is disabled by default.
Overridable system map image
A full-screen image in the mod's resource pack can be replaced by a resource pack with a crowmap namespace image, so any local picture can be shown instead.
