Frequently Asked Questions

No. MapMC is an independent third-party tool, not affiliated with Mojang Studios or Microsoft. Minecraft is a trademark of Mojang Studios.

Yes. MapMC generates .mcworld or world folder files. You need a licensed copy of Minecraft Java or Bedrock Edition to open them. Visit minecraft.net to purchase.

Yes — the world files we generate are yours. Note that displaying Minecraft gameplay is subject to Mojang's brand guidelines for monetized content. See www.minecraft.net/usage-guidelines.

World-file generation usually takes a few minutes; a 22 km² world can take 10–20 minutes. Java 3D previews render separately and may take tens of minutes. We'll email you when the preview is ready.

The current limit is 22 km² per world. We may raise it after larger jobs are proven stable on upgraded worker capacity.

Bedrock if you play on Windows 10/11, Xbox, PlayStation, mobile, or with friends across devices. Java if you play the original PC edition. Bedrock outputs a .mcworld file; Java outputs a world folder.

MapMC uses OpenStreetMap data. If the area you picked has sparse or no OSM coverage (rural or unmapped regions), the world will mostly be terrain. Try picking a city instead.

90 days from creation. Save the .mcworld file to your own machine if you want to keep it forever.

Yes. Email support@mapmc.app with the subject 'Delete account' from your registered address. We remove your user record and generated files within 7 days.

Yes — MapMC is the no-install, online version of the open-source Arnis engine. You draw an area on the map in your browser and download the finished world, with nothing to compile or run locally. It's built on Arnis itself (Apache-2.0, fully credited), so you get the same block-by-block conversion without the desktop setup.

For Java worlds up to 5 km², yes — every one gets a free, shareable 3D web preview (rendered with BlueMap) so you can fly through the build before importing it. Larger Java areas and all Bedrock worlds skip the preview but still download in full.

MapMC builds from real OpenStreetMap data, so roads, buildings, and waterways match the actual place you select. You draw a rectangle anywhere in the world and the Arnis engine rebuilds that exact area block-by-block in Minecraft.

Yes. After drawing an area, the generator shows the final Credits and USD totals. Use Credits for better value or open Stripe Checkout for a one-time payment. The two methods are never partially mixed.

Standard regions use 1.0× pricing. Listed regional-discount locations use 0.5×. If a selection crosses zones, the higher 1.0× rate applies to the whole selection.

A Credits job restores the exact Credits used. A one-time payment starts a refund to the original payment method. The 3D viewer is a free bonus, so viewer-only failure does not refund an already delivered world file.
