WebChunk is a simple web server written in Go that works with Postgres datbase to store and render chunks from Minecraft to your browser.
It is mainly targeted at multiplayer anarchy servers because of "hacking" being a bold word that fits literally every game modification.
Designed to accept chunks from multiple players at once, provide very fast deserialization and storage and mapping information.

Currently storage interface operates with anvil chunk format that can be grabbed from both region files and game itself. Storing multiple versions of same chunk is also permitted and viewed as a feature that can be further supported and used to analyze how terrain/world changed, potentially converting whole thing into data analysis framework.
WebChunk currently supports storing data in PostgreSQL database, empty template of schemas are located in db/sql/init/init.sh. Work has been put into making storage interfacing not complex and as easy to implemet as possible, although it supports multiple worlds (or "servers" as I call them) it is not mandatory to provide multi-world functionality or even more than one dimension.
Upon deploying WebChunk to a server or starting it locally it will accept NBT serialized chunk information over HTTP endpoint and store it in attached Postgres database, this is basically it! Front page has a Leaflet map that requests images from WebChunk and displays them nicely and organized.
WebChunk is built to provide service to owner of the database and web server. It does not feature any user profiles, access rights or any other means of stopping other people from communicating with service. That directly means that you (owner of WebChunk deployment) in charge of regulating who can access resource. WebChunk may also have unknown vulnerabilities that can allow other people to gain unwanted access.
