EarthMC's map is normally a flat, top-down image you scroll around. This takes that same live map
and wraps it onto an actual sphere, so you can spin EarthMC's world like a real planet — with every
town, nation border, and online player sitting where it belongs geographically.
Every town on EarthMC, drawn as a claim outline and coloured by its nation.
Live player locations, updated every few seconds.
The current number of players online, pulled from EarthMC's official API.
A search box — type any town or nation and the camera flies straight to it.
Click a town to see its nation, mayor, and resident count.
How it works — and what it isn't
It reads the same public map tiles and town data that sit behind EarthMC's official flat map, then
reprojects them onto a globe in your browser using the Miller-cylindrical projection
that EarthMC's map is drawn in. That projection is what keeps every town at its true latitude and
longitude instead of stretched or misplaced.
Important distinction: this is the surface map wrapped on a sphere, not a
block-by-block world. You see terrain colours and borders from above — not individual blocks, walls, or
builds. If you want EarthMC's real block-for-block 3D render, that's the official (Premium) site
3d.earthmc.net.
Using it
Drag to spin, scroll or pinch to zoom, and click
a town to read about it. No account, no download — it runs in the browser on desktop and mobile. The
flat map is still there if you'd rather scroll a
rectangle.
FAQ
Is this the official EarthMC map?
No — it's an independent, fan-made project built from EarthMC's public map data, not run by the
server. The official flat map is map.earthmc.net.
Is it a real block-by-block 3D world?
No. It wraps the top-down map onto a sphere — terrain colours and town borders on a globe, not
individual blocks or buildings. For a true block-for-block render, EarthMC has its own Premium site,
3d.earthmc.net.
How up to date is it?
Player dots update every few seconds — EarthMC refreshes positions in near-real-time — while the
online count comes from EarthMC's official API, and town and nation borders reflect the current
server map.
Do I need an account or a download?
Neither. It's free and runs entirely in your browser, on desktop or phone.
How is it different from the flat map?
Same live data, reprojected onto a real sphere — so you orbit the whole planet instead of
scrolling a flat rectangle, and distances and directions look the way they do on Earth.
About EarthMC
EarthMC is a long-running geopolitical Minecraft server set on a map of the real Earth. Players
settle towns, group them into nations, trade, and go to war — the borders you see on the globe are
entirely player-made. This project just visualises that world; it's independent and not affiliated
with the server.
