After installation, the Live Map must be rendered in order for it to work. This may take a long time depending on how large your world map is.

How to Install Dynmap (automatically)?

warning icon
Before installing the preset, make sure that you have at least 1 free port slot in the “Settings → Network” tab and that there are no Dynmap files in the server.
  1. Head over to the Game Panel and stop your server.

  2. Navigate to the “Addons → Presets” tab and install the “Dynmap” preset. This will automatically install the compatible version of Dynmap and configure it for you.

    This action will also provide you with a live map link. Save this for later use.

  1. Start the server and join it. Make sure you have OP permissions and run the “/dynmap fullrender” command to render the world.

  2. Once the render is complete, visit the live map through the link that you obtained previously (http://yourserverip:dynmap_port).

How to Install Dynmap (manually)?

  1. Head over to the Game Panel and stop your server.

Download the correct version of DynMap plugin or mod, depending on which version your server is running.
  1. Navigate to the "Files" tab and depending on your server version, open the "plugins/mods" folder and upload the plugin/mod there.

    If you're using Forge/Fabric, you'll upload it to the "mods" folder. If you're using Paper/Spigot, you'll upload it to the "plugins" folder.

  1. Start your server for it to generate the Dynmap's Configuration file. Once the server fully started, you can close the server.

  2. Navigate to the "Settings -> Network" tab and click on "Create Allocation" to generate a new port for Dynmap. We will use this port for the configuration file.

  1. PLUGINS: If you installed the plugin version of DynMap, open up the plugins folder and dynmap folder in it.

    MODS: If you installed the mod version of DynMap, open up the dynmap folder in the main directory or in the config folder.

    You can now find the file "configuration.txt" from the folder. Open it up and scroll to about 2/3 of the file where you can find an option "webserver-port: 8123". Change this to the port we generated previously.

  2. Click on "Save Content" on the bottom right, start the server and join it. Make sure you have OP permissions and run the “/dynmap fullrender” command to render the world.

  3. Once the render is complete, uou can access the live map by visiting the site "http://yourserverip:dynmap_port".

It's important to use http:// not https:// before the IP!
