Dynglobe is a website created by 3meraldK in October 2022 that renders a 3D globe of EarthMC. The website uses live satellite imagery from the original map and superimposes towns and player positions onto the globe. Users can pan and zoom, as well as click on towns and players to view extensive information. The website is also accessible on mobile. With the addition of the Moon, the page includes the orbiting satellite with outposts.

The 2026 release has been made from scratch, featuring extensive player, town, and nation look-ups, a revamped interface, surface flight, and overall design.

On Terra Nova, some players shared an image of the EarthMC globe across the server. A player named Kieubasiarz once superimposed EarthMC's map onto Google Earth. These two things inspired 3meraldK to creating Dynglobe in October 2022. Since Fix vibe-coded (he doesn't want to take any credit for himself) the same idea in early October 2026 and made it official, this site is now an alternative. However, it has some distinct characteristics that may fit better for some players. Both versions launched at pretty much the exact same time; although Dynglobe was not vibe-coded. It certainly became an inspiration for the official 3D map and website's front page.

Trivia

  • Fix mentioned Dynglobe in the official EarthMC documentation and here.
  • A screenshot from Dynglobe is used as a default thumbnail for blog posts.
  • A screenshot from Dynglobe was featured on the EarthMC home page since mid-2024 to October 2026.
