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.
Configuration
Dynmap Add-Ons:
Both to demonstrate the API, and to help manage the growth of this already-huge plugin, we've started producing additional plugins for Dynmap.

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.
Disclosure
This plugin utilizes bStats.org plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to bstats.org:
- A unique identifier
- The server's version of Java
- Whether the server is in offline or online mode
- 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
- The Metrics version
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
You should mention that it also supports CraftBukkit v1.8, which gets built using Spigot's BuildTools.jar, too. ;)
Edit: Also, take a look at the comments for Dynmap-Worldguard. I left you a suggestion about it there, and others agree. ^_^
Nothing abandoned here - I've just never done support via comments. All requests for support should be directed to my forum thread - http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1543523-dynmap-dynamic-web-based-maps-for-minecraft/ - or via opening an issue on my bug tracker - https://github.com/webbukkit/dynmap/issues , as indicated in the description.
v2.1-alpha-1, which includes Spigot v1.8 support, was just released :)
I also vote for 1.8 support!!! any word on progress btw?
@vipersonickenneth94
spigot and bukkit 1.8. is out! www.spigotmc.org
I'm waiting for an update for Spigot Minecraft 1.8, thank you so much :)
I cross my fingers and hope you will update Dynmap for Spigot 1.8, I have used Dynmap for very long now. But it is not combatible with 1.8, proberly because og the new BlockPos().
I also vote for a 1.8 compatible version.
The spigot team has created a 1.8 bukkit and craftbukkit.
Spigot 1.8 is out
http://www.spigotmc.org/threads/bukkit-craftbukkit-spigot-1-8.36598/
Any chance of an update to this plugin?
Dynmap shows the_end images in overworld with Dynmap Spigot 1.8. Someone else has the same problem? Someone knows a fix?
@StillSwingin
With WorldBorder, try doing "/wb (world name) trim" or something like that, then do "/dynmap fullrender (world name)"
Hello. I am wondering how would I make it so that if a user chats in the Web Map, their username shows up instead of [WEB]?
How can I delete the tiles rendered outside the worldborder set? For example those chunks at the upper left side, in 2D and in 3D maps:
Thank you
@mmuziek
Did you configure the MySQL settings already? What is the problem?
@javitomo
Ah thank you. I do believe I used version 2.0.0 , but it just didn't want to work the first time I guess. Muchas gracias, señor.
funciona correctamente en la ultima versión Spigot, chicos visiten
>> http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-mods/1286593-dynmap-dynamic-web-based-maps-for-minecraftI just attempted to load up Dynmap v2.0.0 on the Spigot Build #1649, but it seems that the plugin does not load at all. The Spigot Build is technically 1.7.9-R0.2 but still doesn't seem to work. Are there any patches or separate builds that I would need to use to have Dynmap work? I thank you for any input.
Will there be an uptdate for 1.8/1.7.10 soon?
Hello. How do i make it so if i chat on the map, my username shows in the server?
I've recently had to remove Dynmap from my server as I believe this was the main plugin which was causing my server to crash. I'm currently running my server on the latest Spigot along side with the latest version of the Carbon hack. My server was freezing and kicking players every 15 minutes or so. Hope this plugin gets updated in the near future as I really love it.
