The Live Survival Map is an interactive map of the Survival worlds, built into the Netherite website at netherite.gg/survival/map. Explore your base, find towns, plan routes and claim land in your browser, on a phone or a computer. Looking around needs no account; sign in for your homes, your town and claiming.
Open Community > Survival Map on the website. The map is drawn by Netherite's own renderer.
The three dimensions#
Use the switcher at the bottom of the map to move between the Overworld, the Nether and The End. Each dimension is its own map with its own sky. A dimension that is still being rendered shows as "Rendering soon".
Views#
Pick a view with the buttons on the map or the keys 1 to 4.
| View | Key | Mouse and keyboard | Touch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flat | 1 | Drag to pan, scroll to zoom, W A S D or the arrow keys to pan | Drag to pan, pinch to zoom |
| 3D | 2 | Drag to pan, right-drag or Ctrl + drag to rotate and tilt, scroll to zoom, Q / E to rotate, N to face north | Drag to pan, pinch to zoom, twist two fingers to rotate, two-finger drag up or down to tilt |
| Free | 3 | Click the map, then move the mouse to look; W A S D or the arrows to fly; Space or E up, Shift or Q down; scroll to move forward | Drag the map to look, the left stick to fly, the arrow buttons to rise and sink |
| Walk | 4 | Click the map, then move the mouse to look; W A S D or the arrows to walk; Shift to sprint; Space to jump | Drag the map to look, the left stick to walk (push it to the edge to sprint), the arrow button to jump |
In Free and Walk, Esc frees the mouse and a second Esc goes back to 3D. On a touch screen, tap 3D to leave. Press ? (or the help button) to show the controls card for the view you are in.
Zoom in and the map switches from the overview to full block detail around you. The block coordinates under your pointer show on the map, so you can read off a spot to travel to.
To share a view, copy the page address: it holds the dimension, position, zoom and view, and opens the same view for anyone.
Overlays and settings#
Open Map settings on the map to change what it shows. Your choices are saved in a cookie in your browser, so the map opens the same way next time. Reset to defaults puts everything back.
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Open in | The view the map starts in when the link names none | 3D |
| Claims | Claimed land, outlined and filled | On |
| Players | Players who chose to show themselves, with their name and head | On |
| World boundaries | The sector lines of the Overworld | On |
| Chunk borders | A 16 x 16 chunk grid on the terrain when you zoom in. With it on, Shade server borders tints the chunks near a sector edge that cannot be claimed | Off |
| Chunk labels on hover | Outlines the chunk under your pointer with "Chunk x,z · Claimed by ..." or "Unclaimed" | On |
| Claim neighbours | Lists the claims that border yours in the Your claims panel | On |
| 3D detail radius | Normal, Large or Max: larger loads more 3D terrain around you | Large on computers, Normal on phones and low-memory devices |
| Show controls on open | Shows the controls card each time the map opens | On |
Click or tap a claim to see whose it is. If a claim owner turned on Online Map Claim Anonymization, the claim shows no name. See Claim Toggles.
Show or hide yourself#
The Players overlay only shows players who switched themselves on. By default you are not shown.
- 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.
Claim land from the map#
Signed in, you can claim and unclaim Survival land on the map as well as in game.
- Claim: click or tap an unclaimed chunk. The popover shows Claim chunk (x, z) and how many of your claims it uses; press Confirm. It costs nothing beyond one of your claims.
- Unclaim: click one of your own chunks and choose Unclaim, then confirm. You can also unclaim from the Your claims panel.
- Your claims: the View claims button opens a panel with your chunks per world. Click a chunk, or the whole claim, to fly the map to it. With Claim neighbours on, it also lists the claims that touch yours; an anonymised one shows as "Hidden claim".
Some chunks cannot be claimed, and the popover says why:
| Message | Reason |
|---|---|
| This area cannot be claimed. | Spawn and other protected areas |
| This chunk is too close to a server border to claim. | The buffer near a sector edge. See Sectors and the World Edge |
| Someone already claimed this chunk. | Another player got there first |
| You have used all of your claims. | You are at your claim limit |
| Chunks in this world cannot be claimed. | The world does not allow claims |
Town chunks are managed in game only: "Town chunks can only be unclaimed in game." See Town Claims.
Hide a claim on the map#
The Online Map Blur claim toggle hides what is built in your claim: the map then shows each chunk as a plain frosted block with one height and one muted colour. You can set it in game (see Claim Toggles) or on the map for your personal chunks:
- One chunk: click one of your own chunks and use Hide on map under Unclaim, or press the settings button next to a chunk in the Your claims panel. Choose Use global, On or Off. The line above the buttons says what applies: "Using default", "Using global setting" or "Override set for this claim".
- All your claims: in the Your claims panel, switch on Hide all my claims on the map. This is your global setting, so every claim without its own override follows it.
Hidden claims show a frosted, striped fill on the map, and their labels add "Hidden by owner". The change takes a few minutes to reach the map. Images viewed earlier may stay in browser caches. Town chunks follow the town's settings: "Town chunk settings are managed in game."
Your homes#
Signed in, the Your homes panel lists every Survival home you have set, grouped by dimension. With no homes it says "No homes yet. Use /sethome in Survival."
- Click a home to fly the map to it. The map switches dimension if the home is in the Nether or the End.
- Press the teleport button and Confirm to be sent to that home in game. You must be online on Survival and not in combat. If the teleport is refused, the panel shows the reason under the home, for example "Join Survival first, then try again." or "You can't teleport while in combat. Try again once your combat tag expires."
Homes are set and removed in game, never on the map.
Your town#
If you are in a town, the Your town panel shows it under your homes.
- It lists every member with their role (Mayor, Deputy or Citizen) and whether they are online on the map. A member who hides themselves shows as offline.
- Click an online member to fly the map to them, in whichever dimension they are in.
- Highlight town claims colours your town's land on the map. Untick it to switch this off.
- The town name links to your town's page on the website. See Towns on the Website.
Tips#
- Turn on Chunk borders and Shade server borders before you travel, to see which chunks you can claim.
- Terrain is rendered from the saved world, so a new build can take a while to appear. The map updates the changed areas while you watch, without a reload.
- If the map does not load, reload the page. The map data is served separately from the rest of the website, so it can be unavailable while the website works.
