The Live Survival Map is an interactive map of the Survival overworld, built into the Netherite website. You can explore your base, find towns and plan routes in your browser, without an account and without joining the game.
Open Community > Survival Map on the website (the page is /survival/map). The map fills the window under the top bar and works on a phone as well as a computer. Drag to pan and scroll or pinch to zoom; the map has its own on-screen controls for everything else. In game, /worldmap posts a clickable link to the map in chat.
What the map shows#
| Layer | Content | Visible by default |
|---|---|---|
| Terrain | The overworld, rendered from above | Yes |
| Grid Edges | The sector lines of the overworld, labelled Grid #N, with the spawn labelled Spawn | Yes |
| Claims | Claimed land, outlined and filled with a colour per owner, labelled "<owner>'s Claim" | No, switch it on in the layer list |
| Town land | Town claims on the Claims layer, labelled "<town>'s Town" | With the Claims layer |
| Players | Players who chose to show themselves | See below |
If a claim owner turned on Online Map Claim Anonymization, the label shows a scrambled name instead. See Claim Toggles.
The map covers the overworld only. The Nether, the End and the resource worlds are not on it.
Show or hide yourself#
By default you are not shown on the map. Players appear only if they switch themselves on.
- Open your options menu with
/options. - Find Hide yourself on the map. "Enabled" means you are hidden.
- Toggle it. Chat confirms
You are now visible on the online map.orYou are no longer visible on the online map.
Tips#
- Switch on the Claims layer to check whether land is free before you travel there.
- Use the Grid Edges layer to see whether a spot is within 32 blocks of a sector line, where you cannot build or claim. See Sectors and the World Edge.
- Claim outlines refresh about every 3 minutes, and terrain is a rendered picture of the world, so a new claim or build can take a while to appear.
- If the map does not load, reload the page. The map is served separately from the rest of the website, so it can be unavailable while the website works.
- Claims and towns are created in game, never on the map.
