is there a command or mod or anything like that that would reveal the world map for me?

I've been trying to find a way to reveal a large portion of the map or the whole map so I can plan builds and where I'm going easier, but don't want to spend the time having to walk all of it, and was wondering if there's a way to generate a map so I don't have to do that. I tried using the world gen commands but it didn't give me the results I wanted. Thank you in advance

If you play alone, the place where the map doesn't open doesn't exist yet. World generation happens when you visit a new area. The parts of the world that fall within your view radius are generated. This is why the save file gets so big when you travel a lot. More draw distance = more generation = more map opens (but the game can lag and your hard drive space quickly decreases). For playing with friends (I'm not sure) there was an addon for sharing maps.

Sorry I didn't notice this earlier. Yes, there is.

/wgen pregen [radius]

So something like

/wgen pregen 2000

or

/wgen pregen 5000

are I think what you are looking for. Note, this may take a long time. You will need to stop time or you will starve to death, and may get eaten by beasties. So get somewhere safe and add the command

/time stop

or 

/time calendarspeedmul 0.0000001

depending on what you want to accomplish.
