Bedrock Viz review
A free, open-source 2D viewer for detailed offline analysis of Bedrock worlds.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Bedrock Viz is an open-source tool for Minecraft Bedrock Edition players and administrators who want to inspect copied world files in detail. It parses Bedrock worlds and generates maps, images, reports, and a Google Maps-like browser viewer. The viewer can be opened locally or served through a web server, making it suitable for offline analysis rather than hosted, continuously updating server monitoring. It supports web, Windows, macOS, and Linux, with a 2D view and markers or waypoints for map points.
Its strongest area is the depth of its world inspection features. Bedrock Viz displays separate Overworld and Nether layers, labeled mobs and items, biome views, shaded-relief elevation, chunk boundaries, potentially spawnable blocks, and distance measurements. It can also generate biome, lighting, height, and grass-color images, along with layer movies using FFmpeg. That combination gives players and administrators several ways to examine terrain, locations, and world structure beyond a basic map view.
The pricing model is straightforward: Bedrock Viz is free and open source. The main trade-off is its workflow. Users need Bedrock Edition world files and local generation to create the viewer, images, or reports, rather than opening a hosted map that stays synchronized with a live server. Players seeking detailed offline inspection of Bedrock worlds should consider Bedrock Viz; those needing a continuously updating server map or a hosted service should choose a product built for that purpose instead.
