this is what I always thought when playing Minecraft, it’s not just digital legos, even pure vanilla is a living breathing world with day/night cycles, farming, etc, I use a plug-in called Multiverse to connect all of our old worlds together with the current world, so we can go back and use resources we dug up 10 years ago, and it supports a really nice live mapping plugin called dynmap, also built a “meta world” that acts as a go-between to quickly jump to specific builds across various worlds using an “iconic” chunk of the actual build converted to “meta world” materials: http://mc.legacycraft.vip:8123/?worldname=meta&mapname=surfa...

Very nice setup! As a sort of informal successor to dynmap, there's now (or rather since 1.13) also BlueMap [1]. It renders the map in 3D in the browser and you can look sideways at your builds. Truly impressive. https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/bluemap.83557
