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.

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
Is there any way to integrate this with a ban list so banned players can't get on the live map and spam/curse etc.
Hmm, I believe this has that no? But perhaps it doesn't work with BanHammer?
are these error log entries normal for dynmap? Keep getting a shitload of them when people access the map http://i.imgur.com/XDqgS.png
Still working fine for R4? :D
Is anyone familiar with how to sort of embed the player list avatars on a web page?

dynmap fullrender
So dynmap worked very well until I updated some of my plugins(Essentials,LogBlock and something else) and now it doesn't work anymore.I didn't changed the configuration at all.Is it possible for my host to have change something? I got to mention that I do not get any errors,it says that it can start the server on the IP address and the port 5565.
can i disable worlds so that people cant see them?
Hi, I am getting the same error as well. Dynmap was working for the 1.2.5 R1 jar of CB, but anything further then that it says the web files do not match. i have tried deleting evrything and installing it over and over and over, all i have ever needed to change was the ip address and it doesnt work this time around.
How do I get it to force load all of the loaded chunks on my server? Edit: solved ;)
I did what WispyCat said, and it worked. Just download, and run, Ccleaner. Then it will load
Fantastic plugin! Thanks a ton for all your work!
I have a suggestion for future updates, the ability to perform multiple dynmap commands concurrently (ie, perform a radiusrender in more than one location without waiting for the first to finish), or to have a command queue so that you can issue multiple commands for dynmap to perform without the need to wait minutes/hours for it to finish the first.
In my context, my server was griefed and rolled back to a backup, I want to update the map in multiple places where the griefing took place but don't want to perform a fullrender. (takes a couple days on my server) I need to radiusrender in about 6 places and would like to give all the commands at once without having to wait with the server console open until it finishes.
Again, thanks for the awesome plugin!
got the same problem, updated the .jar deleted the folder but...same prob as jessicadawn and psmith67. Would be nice, if there is a solution (@WispyCat it didn't work for me )
EDIT: now it is working... dont know why ?? thx to WispyCat :D but now i get a black map... can't see anything :(( HEEELP ;D
Hello,
I'm not that great with dynmap. My map shown says "Web files are not matched with plugin version: All files need to be same version (0.39-1163)"
I went into FAQ didn't see anything. I just updated dynmap and CB (ver 0.39-1163 and CB R3).
Can you please help <3
@SneezeAttack
I tried this and it did not work. I am running a mySQL server on the same computer using wampserver. It isn't just me that is getting this error, it is everyone who tries to access it.
hello,
is there a command to stop dynmap without deleting the jar? i think dynmap is producing laggs so i want to test it
hey guys can som1 here help me to setup the dynmap for my minecraft 1.2.5 ? i been trying and reading now for 1 hr still dont get it XD would be awesome if some1 can help me with this
Hi my webhoost (his own server pc) is wondering how much bandwidth this plugin uses on a server with about max 12 players. Do you have any idea?
If you get this error, "Web files are not matched with plugin version: All files need to be same version", then you need to clear your web browser cache and load the address again. If you do not know how to do this, use a program like ccleaner to do it for you.
I'm having an issue with dynmap. I've fully updated my plugin and it still will not work. It says "Web files are not matched with plugin version: All files need to be same version (0.39-1163)" when i try to access the webpage.
Please help.
How would i go about blocking everyone from access to the dynmap, accept certain individuals?
Example: Regular ranks can not use the dynmap/see it, but an Admin Can use the dynmap/see it.
Plz help me out :P
