VS Map Tools is a cross-platform GUI application that reads your Vintage Story client-side minimap and exports it as a high-resolution PNG image.

Key Features

  • 💻 Cross-platform — runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows
  • 📏 Very high export size limits when using downscaling
  • 🌍 Automatic world size and explored-area detection
  • 🧭 Supports relative coordinates — the ones players see in-game
  • ⚡ Optimized for large maps

 

VS Map Tools can export either a specific region using coordinate bounds, or the entire explored world automatically, without manually defining limits.

Exports are pixel-perfect by default: each in-game block maps to exactly one pixel in the output image. For very large worlds, VS Map Tools supports downscaled exports, from 1:1 up to 1:32 blocks per pixel, allowing maps as large as 512,000 × 512,000 blocks.

Preview

Map colors are from the Medieval Map mod.

Installation

  1. From the Releases page, download the latest version corresponding to your operating system.
  2. Extract the zip and run the application.

No Vintage Story mods are required, the app reads the local minimap database directly.

 

Roadmap

Planned/potential features for future versions:

  • 👥 Collaborative map export
      Merge multiple players’ minimap databases into a single world map

  • 📍 Waypoint rendering
      Display in-game waypoints directly on the exported map

  • ⚡ Further performance improvements
      Faster processing for very large maps
