LiveMap is a high-performance, minimalistic world map viewer for Minecraft
servers. Built as the official evolution of Pl3xMap, it delivers crisp, vanilla-style 2D
rendering with a fraction of the resource overhead found in traditional map plugins.

🚀 Features

• ⚡ Near-instant generation:
     Renders complete in minutes rather than days, minimizing initial setup, update times, and server CPU overhead.

• 🗺️ Vanilla-inspired 2D UI:
     Features a lightweight, top-down perspective optimized for clear world navigation without the performance tax of 3D rendering.

• 👥 Real-time player tracking:
     Displays player markers with precise yaw rotation, health, and armor statuses.

• 🎨 Extensible render types:
     Includes multiple built-in map styles out of the box, including Fancy, Basic, Biomes, Inhabited, and Flowermap.

• 🌐 Modern Leaflet frontend:
     Built on a highly responsive, up-to-date Leaflet.js framework for a fast, modern browser experience.

• 🔌 Robust developer API:
     Provides a powerful API interface to build custom addons or seamless third-party plugin integrations with ease.

📊 Data Collection & Telemetry

This plugin uses bStats to anonymously collect usage data. This data helps me understand how the plugin is being used and what features to focus on in future updates.

• 📈 What is collected: General server information such as server software version, system architecture, core count, Java version, online mode, player count, and plugin-specific metrics (e.g., config settings).

• ❌ What is NOT collected: Strictly no personally identifiable information (PII) is ever tracked. bStats explicitly prohibits and strips IP addresses, player names, chat logs, or UUIDs.

• 🚫 How to opt out: You can easily disable telemetry globally by navigating to your server's /plugins/bStats/config.yml file and setting enabled: false.
