Install and Configure Dynmap

This guide shows you how to install and configure the Dynmap plugin on your Minecraft server. Dynmap is a map plugin that provides a Google Maps-like view of your Minecraft server, available live in a browser.

Stop the Server

• Log in to the panel. See Access the Panel for instructions.
• Go to the server where you want to install Dynmap.
• Click Stop.

Install Dynmap

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

• Select the preferred version, then click 1 Install plugin.
• The latest version will be pre-selected by default.
• 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.
• 3 Enable Unfiltered Port. This is needed for HTTP-based plugins such as Dynmap and BlueMap.
• 4 Click Create.
• Take note of the extra port you created (for example, 12001).

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 configuration.txt.
• 1 Find webserver-port and replace the existing number with the port you allocated earlier.
• This is the port Dynmap’s web server will run on.
• 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 a web browser and go to: http://SERVER_IP:PORT/.
• Replace SERVER_IP with your server’s IP address and PORT with the extra port you 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.
