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. All of these will depend on Dynmap and interface through its APIs, but only need to be added by folks that are interested in the additional function they provide:
- dynmap-mobs: Provides marker layer for real-time position of selected mobs on dynmap maps.
- dynmap-residence: Successor to the 'regions' support for Residence in Dynmap, with live update of Residence changes
- Dynmap-WorldGuard: Successor to the 'regions' support for WorldGuard in Dynmap, with live update of WorldGuard changes
- Dynmap-Towny: Successor to the 'regions' support for Towny in Dynmap, with live update of Towny changes
- Dynmap-Factions: Successor to the 'regions' support for Factions in Dynmap, with live update of Factions changes
- Dynmap-CommandBook: Add support for showing /home and /warp locations defined using CommandBook.
- Dynmap-Essentials: Add support for showing /home and /warp locations defined using Essentials.
- Dynmap-GriefPrevention: Add support for showing Grief Protection claims
- Dynmap2CraftIRC3: Integrate Dynmap's web chat with IRC via CraftIRC
- Dynmap-SimpleClans: Integrate SimpleClans with Dynmap
- Dynmap-HeroChat: Integrate HeroChat v5.5+ with Dynmap
- Dynmap-PhysicalShop
- Dynmap-pyLandmarks
- Dynmap-PreciousStones: Integrate PreciousStones with Dynmap
- Dynmap-AdminCmd: Integrate AdminCmd with Dynmap
- Dynmap-PlayerWarp
- Dynmap-Citizens: Integrate Citizens with Dynmap
Mods integrated with Dynmap:
The following mods are known to support dynmap integration without needing an add-on:
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

Posted Dec 17, 2013Anyone else noticing that dynmap causes RAM usage to just keep going up until it hits 100%? On 1.7.2 minecraft and 1.9.1 dynmap. Unfortunately seems I'm going t ohave to go without dynmap :-/

Posted Dec 17, 2013As stated before, by myself and others, PermGen space issues are ONLY resolved by giving your JVM more PermGen space : -XX:MaxPermSize=128m or the like. Its about code size : CB gets bigger, mods get bigger, dynmap gets bigger - but the permgen size default doesn't get bigger, and it doesnt' have anything to do with your heap size. Its 64M on most JVM implementations, so you need to increase it when your using big mods and/or lots of mods. Nothing to 'fix' on the code side, so don't expect anything there - you cannot 'leak' PermGen space, you just use it due to having lots of code and data constants.

Posted Dec 14, 2013I have a world called "172" and for it to be recognized in worlds.txt I have to set:
worlds:
- name: 172_World
title: "1.7 World"
- name: survival
title: "Old World"
Now when I'm editing configuration.txt I can't get "defaultworld:" to work on my "172" world. I tried:
defaultworld: 172
defaultworld: 172_World
defaultworld: 172 World
Nothing worked. The webpage always defaults to the "survival" world. How would I set my world named "172" to be the defaultworld?

I had this problem too with Spigot 1.7.2. and other plugins (dynmap didn't give me any trouble afaik). Something has changed but changing your server start up line can help. Try adjusting the MaxPermSize to use more memory for that because that's what you're running out of. Also enabling CMSClassUnloading can help manage the problem. I'm not sure if the ConcMarkSweepGC trash collector does anything here, but this is what I use:
-XX:MaxPermSize=128m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
I haven't had any more PermGen problems after adding these settings to the server startup line.
Hope it helps.

remember, this plugin is a bit more intensive than most, so you need to follow these steps 1. Download Dynmap.jar 2. Put dynmap.jar in plugins folder 3. Unzip dynmap.jar into dynmap folder 4. Copy and overwrite all files
that should fix any errors that occur on getting it to work. if you need anymore help, feel free to get a hold of me, I've been using this plugin for quite some time and am pretty familiar with it.
