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
I'm using the most recent alpha build with my Spigot 1.7.10 (#1595) server and it's working just fine. :)
Having trouble viewing my server dynmap? Hosting through MCPRO hosting and i'm using a subdomain to differentiate from other similar IP addresses but see for yourself,
phantomgaming.mcph.co
it won't connect. Any help? ==
How about an update so this works with 1.7.10 spigot.....
I installed 1.94 as well 2alpha for cauldron equal 1.6.4 but it doesn't create neither a folder nor the config files
@Noumpas13
I am an idiot! Thank you very much!
@trav71

Hello all, extremely noob admin here with a question. I have dynmap installed and working. I did NOTHING to the setup. I go to the URL, and see the discovered areas of my world just fine.
My question is, how do I see the nether? I read the info above, but I am not confident that I understood it, and am afraid of messing my settings up. I would appreciate any advice!
Thank you.
Good day, I updated my server to 1.7.10 (spigot _1552), I also downloaded dynmap 1.9.4, but I'm getting an error stating dynmap might be out of date. Is there any news on updating the plugin?
Thanks for your time

Guys, whats the difference between normal-hires.txt and normal-hi_boost_xhi.txt
which has the better resolution? what does the boost change? render faster?
Just checkinga s I'm trying to get my head around the coordinates in bukkit as they feel non-intuitive to me. If I move (according to map) Northeast both X and Y lowers and both increase if I go Southwest. To me that feels 180deg wrong. To me it seems right should be +X and up +Y. (Config uses Newnorth on 1.7.9 (beta) server.
Am I missing something?
Hi, I've just installed the plugin on 1.7.10 and it Says "disabled (unsupported platform)" whenever it goes to enable it at start. Any advise? I'm using couldron.
So I changed hosts... now my dynmap tends to shutdown my server without warning everytime it renders... ok its not shutting down my server, it is overloading it. and then the server shuts down without warning. My new host is better in every possible way. So does anyone know why this could be happening?
@Ajaxan
No that is not Dynmap, that is overviewer with just a different texture pack being used and a set border for the mapping. That map system is not dynamic and will not do what dynmap does.
@Ajaxan
You can use markers. Not sure what they used in that example map, but its not the dynmap markers, looking like an mmo/rpg server, its probably the mmo/rpg plugin that does it.
Just noticed, thats also not dynmap. Someone posted the same type of map and i thought it was overviewer, since the use of google-maps tools, but its something else...
UPDATE PLEASE IT IS AN EMERGENCY!
It's very late and I'm probably just overlooking it, but how do you add text on a dynmap? Like a title for a certain area of a map. Here is an example of what I mean: [Map Example].
idk why but for some reason when i run dynmap on 1.7.10 my CPU starts to cap out HARD
but when i use to use 1.7.4 & older i never noticed a CPU change
on side note dynmap-factions dont work with 1.7.10 sadly.
@CraftYourWay Put the name in quotes. "World of Minecraft"
Does anyone know of a way to filter dynmap chat like Pwnfilter does for ingame chat?
Hello my world has spaces, when i type /dynmap fullrender World of Minecraft then it says
World 'World' not defined/loaded World 'Of' not defined/loaded World 'Minecraft' not defined/loaded
what i need to do in order for it to work
