I recently started a Minecraft server on a cheap Azure VM. I like to run Minecraft Overviewer to generate a fancy map. The rendered map looks like this, you can scroll around and zoom, it’s great:

I’m serving the map from an Azure Storage Account using the static website feature. I’ll go through how I’ve set it up:

1. Render the map on the same machine as the Minecraft server (saves copying files between machines)
2. Upload to Azure Storage with AzCopy
3. Set up to run every day (early morning)
