Conclusion

Dynmap is a great way to customize your Minecraft server. You can integrate your region plugins such as Towny or Factions to really bring a realistic feel to your community. While Dynmap is great, make sure that you are only using it if your server has enough resources to support it as it can be a bit resource intensive. However, you can upgrade your server at any time!

To upgrade your server, log in to your billing area at the top of the site. In the top menu select services, my services, select the server you want to upgrade, then hit the upgrade/downgrade option. You can select your upgrade there. After you have paid simply restart the server for the upgrade to be applied.

Overview

One of the great ways to customize your Minecraft server is with plugins. With thousands of plugins, your server has endless possibilities from creating Factions to having an online map of your server. Dynmap is an awesome way to expand your server outside of the normal Minecraft gameplay. With this plugin, you can create an online webpage that essentially works like a google map for your Minecraft worlds. Many plugins can also be implemented into the Dynmap map such as Factions and Towny. If you are looking for a way to enhance your server further, Dynmap is the way to go. The setup process is decently easily and we will walk you through each step of it.

How to setup Dynmap

Configuration

1. Stop your server.
2. To the left of the game panel, click FTP File Access, then enter the plugins folder.
3. Find the folder named Dynmap and open it, then locate the file named configuration.txt and press edit to the right of it.
4. Once in the configuration, locate deftemplatesuffix and set it to vlowres or lowres.
5. Scroll down to webserver-port and change it to any four digit port higher than 1024. The default port set is generally taken by someone else so you must use a random one.
6. Locate image-format: and set it to jpg.
7. Press Save, head back to the game panel and start your server.
8. Once the server has fully started, go to your console and type in “dynmap fullrender WORLDNAME”.

Commands

/dynmap cancelrender <WorldName>Cancels all rendering on the specified world.

/dynmap fullrenderAttempts to render all maps of the entire world from your location (or from the center of that world, if issued from the server console).

/dynmap fullrender <WorldName>Attempts to render all maps of the world named world from the center of that world.

/dynmap fullrender <WorldName>:<SurfaceName>Attempts to render the map named surface for the world named world from the center of that world.

/dynmap pause allPause all map rendering.

/dynmap pause noneResume all map rendering.

/dynmap purgequeueClears the tile update queue

/dynmap purgeworld <WorldName>Purge all the map files for world ‘world’

/dynmap purgemap <WorldName> <MapName>Purge all the map files for the specified map and world.

/dynmap radiusrender <Radius>Attempts to render at least a radius block area, centered on your current location.

/dynmap radiusrender <Radius> <MapName>Attempts to render at least a radius block area, centered on your current location of the specified map.

/dynmap radiusrender <WorldName> <X> <Z> <Radius>attempts to render at least a radius block area, centered on ‘X,64,Z’ within the specified world.

/dynmap renderRenders one tile of the map where you are standing.

/dynmap updaterenderAttempts to render tiles needing updating, starting at current location, for all maps. Stops at edge of map and at tiles that don’t need updating.

/dynmap updaterender <MapName>attempts to render tiles needing updating, starting at current location, for given map. Stops at edge of map and at tiles that don’t need updating.

/dynmap updaterender <WorldName> <X> <Z>attempts to render tiles needing updating, starting at given location on given world, for all maps. Stops at edge of map and at tiles that don’t need updating.

/dynmap updaterender <WorldName> <X> <Z> <MapName>attempts to render tiles needing updating, starting at given location on given world, for given map. Stops at edge of map and at tiles that don’t need updating.

Disk Space Usage

Dynmap is a truly amazing piece of work. It’s usefulness, popularity and extensibility are self-evident given the number of other independent plugins that can interact with it to add their own informational layers onto the world maps. Running Dynmap on your own Minecraft server would certainly be a well received gameplay upgrade for your players. There’s only one problem with adding Dynmap to a Minecraft server. Your disk space requirements will go through the roof!

Dynmap allows you some control over the amount of storage space that the maps it generates will need by way of the “deftemplatesuffix” property as defined in the configuration.txt file within the plugins/dynmap directory. This property makes little difference to the default two-dimensional “flat” maps that this plugin displays, but is much more apparent on the isometric “surface” maps:

Dynmap Isometric Surface Map (“deftemplatesuffix: lowres” Setting)
Dynmap Isometric Surface Map (“deftemplatesuffix: hires” Setting)

At UniversalCraft, we always want to provide the very best experience for our players, so all of our servers are configured to generate “hires” maps. We have experimented with different WorldBorder radii for our worlds and have measured the following maximum disk space requirements as the border of a world increases:

Dynmap Disk Space Requirements For Fully Generated High Resolution Maps

So, by the time that you’ve expanded your world border even to just a fairly modest 20,000 block radius, Dynmap is already going to need more than a quarter of a terabyte just for storing the pre-rendered “hires” map tiles!

How to add a resource pack

Finding a pack:

1. The pack needs to come from an trusted website such as CurseForge.
2. Confirm that the resource pack is made for the version of Minecraft your server is running.
3. Download the pack to a known directory on your computer.

 Adding to Dynmap

1. Stop your server.
2. To the left of the game panel, click FTP File Access, then enter the plugins folder.
3. Find the folder named Dynmap and open it, then open the texturepacks folder.
4. To the left of the page click Upload and drag in the pack you previously downloaded.
5. Wait until it is fully uploaded and then go back one directory to the main Dynmap folder.
6. Locate the file named shaders.txt and press edit to the right of it.
7. You are going to want to clear the current contents of this file and add the following:

   shaders:
     - class: org.dynmap.hdmap.TexturePackHDShader
       name: stdtexture 
       texturepack: (Full name of texturepack here)

8. From this, the only part you will be changing is “texturepack:”. In this spot, you will put the full name of the file including the extension. For example, “texturepack: Faithful+1.13.2-rv2.zip”.
9. Once you get that set, save the file and head back to the game panel.
10. Start your server and you will want to do a full render of the map by typing dynmap fullrender into the console.

How to install Dynmap

Install through the panel

1. Make sure your server is running Bukkit, Spigot, or Paper. You can check this in the jar dropdown on the game panel dashboard.
2. To the left of the game panel, press the Plugins List tab.
3. Type in “Dynmap” in the name search and scroll until you find it. Then click on it to open the download page.
4. At the bottom of the page, check the version you have selected. It’s good to cross-reference this to the official Bukkit or Spigot page.
5. Find the correct version from the version dropdown, select it and press install.
6. Go back to the Game Panel and restart your server. You can check if the plugin was installed successfully by typing “pl” into the console.

Install through FTP

1. Go to the official Dynmap page on Bukkit or Spigot and click on the File tab.
2. Find the update that is compatible with your server version and press the download icon.
3. Head to the Game Panel and click FTP File Access to the left of the panel.
4. Once you login to the FTP File Access you will see a list of your files. Open the plugins folder and click “Upload” to the top left of the page.
5. Drag your plugin over to the right side of the page and wait for it to reach 100%.
6. Head back to the Game Panel and restart your server. The plugin should now be installed. You can check this by typing “pl” into the console.

Common Issues

Port is taken
When configuring Dynmap, it’s important that you change the webserver-port to a random 4 digit number. If you run into an error saying the port is taken, you will need to change it to another number.

Hi res causing performance issues
It is very important to set the deftemplatesuffix to vlowres or lowres, if you do not to this you will almost always run into performance issues on the server.

Using MySQL and not FileTree
Maps can become several gigabytes in size, which can tank your MySQL performance. It is best you use the default setting, FileTree.

Texture pack not loading
If you have set the texture pack and it is still not working, there are a few things you need to check for. The first is that you set the “texturepack:” section to the exact filename of the resource pack you uploaded. If that’s correct, check that the resource pack you downloaded is made for the same version of Minecraft that you are running.

Map Viewers[]

Map viewers are read-only and have an interactive interface.
