Dynmap®
* MAIN SUPPORT IS NOW ON DISCORD *
For further discussion and announcements, see us on Reddit or Twitter.
A Google Maps-like map for your Minecraft server that can be viewed in a browser. Easy to set up when making use of Dynmap's integrated webserver which works out-of-the-box, while also available to be integrated into existing websites running on Apache and the like. Dynmap can render your worlds using different renderers, some suitable for performance, some for high detail.
Components allow you to add/remove functionality to make Dynmap suit your needs. Using the components Dynmap comes supplied with, there is support for chat balloons, web-to-game chat, and configurable markers, areas, and lines.
Features
- Highly configurable maps per world
- Real-time updates: maps are kept in sync with your world in real-time, updates are shown while your leave your browser open
- Players with their faces are visible on the map
- Chat messages are visible (as balloons or in a chatbox) on the map.
- Map viewers can chat to players in-game.
- Current Minecraft time is visible on the map.
- Current Minecraft weather is visible on the map.
- WorldGuard, Residence, Towny and Factions regions that can be visible on the map (through corresponding Dynmap-* plugins)
- Overall highly configurable and customizable.
Installation
Copy dynmap-*.jar into your plugins directory. If you are upgrading, delete the previous dynmap-*.jar - you do NOT need to delete the plugins/dynmap directory or its contents.
If you are running a separate webserver (like Apache) you may need to copy the files from 'plugins/dynmap/web/' to a directory in your http-root and follow this guide. When upgrading, make sure you also upgrade the copied files.
First time use
When you start CraftBukkit, you should be able to navigate to http://yourserverip:8123/ in your browser. In case you are running CraftBukkit on the PC you are currently working on, you can navigate to http://localhost:8123/. You should be able to see the players who are in-game. Note that the map is not yet rendered, therefore the background will be black.
If you are planning on using the HD renderer, now would be a good time to do so. Enable 'deftemplatesuffix: hires' in the top of configuration.txt. More information about deftemplatesuffix is available at Base plugin settings.
If you just want to see Dynmap work, use the following command in-game: /dynmap fullrender. The wiki contains more information about commands and permissions. The map should reveal itself gradually in the browser, give it some time. Progress messages indicate that Dynmap is working and will show when the render is completed.

Also, for the best response to questions and such, please post comments to our main forum thread - http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1543523-dynmap-dynamic-web-based-maps-for-minecraft/. Once again, having more than one place just isn't helpful, and this is where the 'Dynmap Community' already operates.

- A unique identifier
- The server's version of Java

- The plugin's version
- The server's version
- The OS version/name and architecture
- The core count for the CPU
- The number of players online

Donations and Tips
Dynmap and my other mods and plugins have always been free, as I work on them as time permits and not as a job - the upside is that the price is good, the downside is they get the time I have left after working, taking care of my family, and other things!
I've set up a coffee-fund jar (I believe in the theory that software developers are machines that turn caffeine into code), for anyone who wants to throw in some tips! For Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/dynmap or for Ko-Fi https://ko-fi.com/michaelprimm
I am having trouble viewing the dynmap for my server, I noticed the dynmap not working for another server I use and now mine is doing the same thing. I tried using my direct ip:8123 to test it, it worked for a bit and then stopped like the others. What might have happened to change all this?
Is the WorldGuard-Dynmap still active??
As it's still working ATM the placeholders are now showing UUID's instead of names. Is there anyway so that this can show names again or does the code needs updating for this to add additional placeholders?
On an other note...
Could someone write an addon for dynmap to integrate uSkyblock?? Anyone that likes to do this you can contact me through our own bukkitdev page (link above).
Thanks in advance.
it would be cool if you could get a wall mounted version of this for a certain area of the world. say i wanted to mount this on a wall at the server spawn so the center of the map would be spawn and it would show lets say 10 chunks in every direction
Would be nice if you could get /fullrender to tell you the % completed with each message, rather like wb /fill does, rather than how many tiles have been rendered. Is there a way to find out how many tiles in total will be loaded?
love this plugin thanks try my server out everyone pvptime.myserver.gs
@mistermsk
Sounds like a compatibility issue. Make sure you download the right version for your server.
Thanks for the update! works wonders on my server.
Ran find on my old servers. Tried latest download on 1.9.4. Below is what it says. Running on latest debian fully updated (64-bit) os.
[12:27:55 INFO]: [dynmap] Enabling dynmap v2.2-1118 [12:27:55 INFO]: [dynmap] Dynmap is disabled (unsupported platform)
I think MC 1.9.4 need an Update. Or not?
On my Server start since MC 1.9.4:
And if i fullrender some Map, the dynmap web and the map rendering frozen and continue after a restart.
Is there any way for users seeing the map to be able to rotate their view? Thank you!
How do I add text to the dynmap?
Example: http://i.imgur.com/uR3wF9A.png
I've looked everywhere, but I can't get similair results at all.
Thanks!
Hey all, what must i add to texturepack all? How work the tree?
NEED 1.9 PLEASE :D
That would be a great support whatever updates on the back end server(patchvantage) is implemented.
Please update to 1.9 :)
Anyone have any idea how to drop this mod down to it's bare bones? I unfortunately have limited HDD space. I want to disable maps for Nether and The End. I also want to disable all the 3d maps. We just want to use this map for general location purposes using the flat map option. The render quality doesn't have to be super high either. I currently have it set to lowres.
I just don't remember hot to configure the plugin so that it won't show or render the 3d map styles.
Thanks for your time.
I got dynmap working but it isn't loading ANY chunks I have dynmap factions and am running 2.3 alpha 2 cos no other versions are working for me
I was wondering if there was a guide showing me how to get Dynmap working with a server hosted from a hosting service while having my webserver itself on my PC at home. I would like to have my Website running Dynmap, but I do not seem to understand it too well.

Update DynMap Essentials with Spigot's Special Source.
Hello. How can I prevent rendering buttons? When rendered, they look like a stone (surface).
