Configure Dynmap

How to configure a web-based world map of your Minecraft server.

Dynmap is a powerful tool that brings your Minecraft server to life by providing an interactive, real-time, and web-based map of your world.

Installing the plugin

Download the Dynmap plugin. Make sure you choose the version that matches your server's software and version.

Head over to the Game Panel and select "File Manager" on the sidebar menu.

Upload the plugin to your plugins folder.

Once uploaded, you now need to restart your server.

Configuring the plugin

You'll need to create a ticket to request an additional port to be opened. Once done, you can view the allocations assigned to your server. Take note of this new port, as you'll need it for Dynmap to work.

Open the configuration.txt file within the dynmap plugin folder to begin editing.

Locate the webserver-port: value and replace 8123 with your newly created port.

Once done, click "Save File" and restart your server to update the configuration.

Generating the map

To fully render your map, enter the "dynmap fullrender" command in your server console.

Generating your map will use up a huge portion of your server RAM and may cause lag spikes. We recommend doing this when there's no players online.

Once done, you can now open your web browser and enter the URL of your map. You can setup additional web server settings in the plugin configuration file.
