How to use the Map Viewer

There are several ways to access your rendered map:

• Click View Map from your dashboard world card
• Use the direct URL: bedrockmap.net/map/your-world-slug
• Share the URL with friends (they'll need the access key if your map is private)

The map viewer will load and display your world with the default settings you configured.

Navigate your map using these controls:

• Mouse/Touch: Click and drag to pan around the map
• Scroll Wheel: Zoom in and out
• Pinch Gesture: Zoom in/out on touch devices
• Double-Click: Zoom in on a specific location

If your world has multiple dimensions rendered, switch between them:

1. Look for the dimension tabs in the top-left corner of the map viewer
2. Click on Overworld, Nether, or End
3. The map will reload to show the selected dimension
4. Each dimension maintains its own zoom level and position

Coordinates are automatically adjusted when switching between dimensions (e.g., Nether coordinates are scaled 8:1).

If you own the map, you can add and remove markers directly from the map viewer:

Adding a New Marker

1. Right-click anywhere on the map where you want to add a marker
2. Select Add New Marker from the context menu
3. A dialog will appear with the following options:
   • Name: The title of your marker
   • Description: Optional details about the location
   • Marker Type: Choose an icon style (home, farm, shop, landmark)
   • Font, Size, and Colors: Customize the marker's appearance
   • Preview: See how your marker will look on the map
4. Click Add Marker to place it on the map immediately

Removing a Marker

1. Right-click on the marker you want to remove
2. Select Remove Marker from the context menu
3. A confirmation dialog will appear
4. Confirm to delete the marker from the map

Markers appear as icons on your map at the locations you've set:

• Marker Display: Markers and their names are always visible on the map
• Click a Marker: Opens a modal with full details (title, description, coordinates, and any custom content)
• Toggle Markers: Use the Markers on/off option in the Map Controls panel to show or hide all markers

The marker modal style can be customized by the world owner (Premium feature).

The map viewer shows real-time coordinates as you move your cursor:

• Look for the coordinate display in the bottom-right corner
• Coordinates update in real-time as you move your mouse over the map
• Format: X: ### Z: ###
• Shows the exact in-game X and Z coordinates (horizontal position)

Use these coordinates to navigate in-game or to add new markers at specific locations!

Customize your viewing experience with map overlays:

• Grid: Toggle the coordinate grid overlay
• Binary Coords: Switch between standard and binary coordinate display
• Markers: Toggle all markers on/off (includes player positions if live tracking is active)
• Scale Bar: Show/hide the distance scale indicator

Access these toggles from the Map Controls panel in the top-left corner of the map viewer, alongside the dimension switcher.

If the Premium addon is installed and active, you can see live player positions:

• Player markers appear as player head icons on the map
• Player usernames are displayed alongside their icons
• Player positions update every 5 seconds automatically
• Offline players disappear from the map after 30 seconds

Share your map with others easily:

1. Copy the map URL from your browser address bar
2. If your map is private, share the access key with trusted users
3. Users can enter the access key when prompted
