Platinum Arts Sandbox Free 3D Game Maker is a free open source 3D Game Maker, world creator and 3D Game Design program currently being used in many schools throughout the world that allows kids and adults to create their own video games, worlds, levels, adventures and quests, even cooperatively! The goal is to make it accessible to kids but also powerful enough for full game projects. With a simple click and roll of a mouse wheel users can modify the world however they want. In the words of a nine year old Sandbox whiz I babysit for, “Press Edit and go fulfill your dreams!”. Now features new game modes such as sidescroller, machinima, kartmode, RPG, and more!
I just made a small test minimap of village by taking an overhead screenshot.. to say the least it's quite inaccurate, you can get it here

I've rewritten the minimap's code since the last inception, it now centers around the player and can give you the locations of nearby entities.
there's still a few things left to do, but it's coming along great so far
Fantastic! I really like the idea of having a minimap
looks really nice!
