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 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

@mikeprimm
Oh man, that reply made me realize something.

worlds: - name: world title: "My Awesome World" - name: nether title: "My Awesome Nether" enabled: false - name: skylands title: "My Awesome Skylands" enabled: false
The Caves Copy the appropriate template file to make a custom one. For example, copy 'plugins/dynmap/templates/normal-vlowres.txt' to 'plugins/dynmap/templates/custom-normal-vlowres.txt'. Open the copied file and remove the following section:
- class: org.dynmap.hdmap.HDMap name: cave title: "Cave" prefix: ct perspective: iso_SE_60_lowres shader: cave lighting: default mapzoomin: 3
I hope that helps :)
- http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/dynmap/pages/faq/-When backing up it takes a while for my creative server due to the huge dynmap file count, http://plots.prxcraft.com:24555, is there any way to minimize this, option disabling?
Hello, i have two questions.
Thank you
@NoHoPeLess
using Spigot 1.7.10 (1.8 comp) + dynmap 2 (alpha 3) + java 7 (64 bit) ???
@firecone
you make something wrong i use this plugin for over 2 years but not see this issue anytime
Can someone please help me? When I installed the plugin and started the server, I went to my browser to see the map, but I got to a completely different map. So I changed my IP, but it didn't help, I came on the exact same map.
Hello -
this plugin is LEAKING memory and makes the server CRASH. It does so on Linux, on Windows, on the server, on my home machine, with different java startup parameters .... just ALWAYS
And i excluded every other plugin so its dynmap for sure. This MAY not happen under every condition (like the devs JVM?)
i use: - Spigot 1.7.10 (1.8 comp) - dynmap 2 (alpha 3) - java 7 (64 bit)
Happens when the server runs for 1 day and about 9h after the last player left the server (render tasks when no players on ??). and it happens ALWAYS - every day. you can count on it.
Can you please review your code ? You said something about "getting objects from memory" in the last changelog and you are using stuff like reflection in your projects ... just search for a possible leak pls
I would like to know how to stop the chat bar from showing all the rendering info. I have looked for the option if it exists and cannot see it, any help would be greatly appreciated.
@Willcomputerguy79
Yes. I'm using:

@zeshan321
Spigot 1.8?
@tjbruce
I wouldn't see why he wouldn't support Spigot...
@Willcomputerguy79
Working fine for me on spigot.
@Willcomputerguy79
Well, this plugin is made especially for Bukkit. Not Spigot, otherwise it would be on the Spigot page.
Maybe it's just me, but on Spigot 1.8 (protocol), Dynmap doesn't work. I get an error at startup saying something about having a wrong Bukkit version. Is the plugin updated to 1.8 for spigot? If not, any idea when? Also, thank you for this plugin and the work you've put into it.
How do I disable 3D & underground and only run flat to save HDD space?
Looks like this is an abandoned project.

It's a DigitalOcean Ubuntu VPS, 4GB RAM with 3GB allotted to Java.
@IanPaschal:
Server specs? Could be your box isn't powerful enough. You could also try to wipe your dynmap data, to see if that works.
