Install and Configure Dynmap

This guide will show you how to install and configure the Dynmap plugin for your Minecraft server. Dynmap is a map plugin that hosts a Google Maps-like map of your Minecraft server that can be viewed live in a browser.

Stop the Server

• Login to the panel. See Access the Panel for instructions.
• Go to the server where you wish to install Dynmap.
• Stop the server.

Install Dynmap

• Click the 1 Plugins tab.
• 2 Search for Dynmap.
• Click on the 3 Install button.

• Select the preferred version, and then hit the Install plugin button.
• The latest version will be pre-selected by default.

Start the Server

• Start your Minecraft server.
• Dynmap will be activated, and a dynmap folder will be generated within the plugins folder.

Allocate Port

• Dynmap needs an additional port to function.
• Click the 1 Network tab.
• Click the 2 Create Allocation button.
• Take note of the extra port you created.
• For example, 20993, as shown in the below screenshot.

Configure Dynmap

Access Configuration File

• In the panel, go to the 1 Files tab.
• Navigate to the plugins/dynmap folder and locate the 2 configuration.txt file.

• Open the configuration.txt file by clicking on it.
• Once the editor has opened, 1 find the webserver-port line and replace the existing numbers with the Port you allocated in a previous step.
• This is the port on which the Dynmap web server will run.
• Click the 2 Save Content button.

Restart the Server

• Restart your Minecraft server for the changes to take effect.

• Your Minecraft server should now have Dynmap installed and properly configured. By default, Dynmap will begin rendering all the worlds on your server. Depending on the size of your world, this process can take some time.
• To view your map, open any web browser and go to: http://<your-server-ip>:<your-extra-port>/.
• Make sure to replace <your-server-ip> with your server’s IP address and <your-extra-port> with the extra port you previously allocated for Dynmap.
• If you own a custom domain, you can remove the port requirement and create a custom address to view your map. If you are interested, see our Network - Reverse Proxy guide.
