Map2Minecraft turns a real-world map into a Minecraft world you can download and play. Search any city, town or address, pick a size, frame the area on the map above and press Generate. The world is rebuilt block by block from OpenStreetMap data — buildings at their real footprints and heights, streets, rivers, parks and the shape of the land — at one block per metre. Small areas are ready in under a minute; most worlds take a few minutes.
Every world gets a free 3D preview before you pay anything — for an XL world, of its centre 25 km² — so you see what you are getting. Downloading it is a one-time $5–$299, depending on size. There is no subscription unless you want Pro. Worlds come as a Java Edition world folder or a Bedrock .mcworld file and run in vanilla Minecraft — no mods, nothing to install.
Is this Minecraft map generator free?+
Generating any area and exploring it in a 3D preview is free, with no signup. Downloading the finished world is a one-time $5 (under 1 km²), $10 (1–5 km²), $29 (5–25 km²), $49 (25–50 km², built after purchase and emailed), $99 (50–100 km², built after purchase and emailed), $199 (100–250 km², built after purchase and emailed, Java only) or $299 (250–500 km², built after purchase and emailed, Java only). Making several? Pro ($39/month or $299/year) gives you unlimited worlds up to 25 km² with no per-map charge.
How do I turn a real place into a Minecraft world?+
Search for the place, pick a world size, then drag and zoom the map until the area you want fills the frame. Choose Java or Bedrock, press Generate and explore the result in a free 3D preview. When you're happy, download it: a Java world goes in your saves folder, and a Bedrock .mcworld file imports when you open it.
Does it work with Java and Bedrock Edition?+
Yes. Java Edition gets a standard world folder (zip) and Bedrock Edition gets a .mcworld file. Both are vanilla worlds: no mods, add-ons or plugins needed.
How big a world can I make?+
Anything from a Tiny world (under 250 × 250 m, a street or two) up to 25 km² — a downtown and its neighbourhoods — built in your browser and downloaded on the spot, or a whole city or region up to 500 km², built for you after purchase and emailed (from $49). Making several? Pro gives you unlimited worlds up to 25 km².
Where does the map data come from?+
From OpenStreetMap, the free, community-built map of the world: building footprints and heights, roads, water, parks and land use, plus terrain elevation. A place that is well mapped on OpenStreetMap comes out detailed in Minecraft.
