Cartograph tools
Cartograph is one of the original tools created used to map Minecraft worlds. The popularity of the program has meant that 'cartograph' is now commonly used as a general term for a map generated from a minecraft savefile, even if created with a different mapping tool. Since mid 2012, nerd.nu has been using Minecraft-overviewer to generate cartographs.
Live maps on Creative and PvE are currently generated by the Dynmap plugin.
